Congrats on the new exhaust pieces guys. Both the RE and SS exhaust systems have been extremely popular choices among my Z4 customers as well. Post up some sound clips when you guys get the chance and share them with the rest of the community!!

I won't be installing until late March early April.
I'll definitely post impressions.
Sorry, I doubt that I'll get to a dyno to measure power gains though.

I really want the RE Xpipes (I heard the flange is the same fit as stock, so I could easily run my RPi exhaust with it), but am worried that it will be too loud to daily drive without police attention

You should be worried about running even with RPi ONLY! Hahaha! At night, when I drive my car especially in residential areas, I try not to go over 2k rpm, otherwise the whole neighborhood wakes up. I've personally received two complaints from the HOA regarding both M's being too loud...

Just ordered my RE X-pipe. Should be here for a weekend install
Cheap ship also. Just $20 to Missouri
No chance for a dyno here either. Not a dyno within 120 miles of my local.

Busy DIY weekend here, oil change,install pipe and take her to the shop for alignment after lowering springs(have put this off to long)

Pictures of RE X-pipe

Got it in today. Here are some pics. Biggest diff is the "X" is more defined from the front to back to the cross,not quite as straight a shot as the SS. Where the tubes meet they are welded a little closer together, almost 3/4 of each pipe is welded to make 1-1/2 pipe. Nice finish. Will try to install Sat afternoon if warm enough.
