Welcome. Stock exhaust? You just mention x pipe. If stock, I recommend a cat back.

thanks for the welcome and the input, it is a 5 spd but i like the throws how are. It also has a clutch, very hard to push in but i get great launches. I do not know what kind it is but the X-pipe is aftermarket. flows through stock mufflers and exhaust manifolds

Thanks again for the welcome, you are alot nicer than the people on bimmerforums. I dont have much experience with horsepower gains, how much do you think i am putting out. approx.
Stock rated at 225, add X-pipe, ignition booster, cold air, power pullies, and soon SVO heads.
