2014 320 xdrive - Video for Magnaflow exhaust, ar design catted downpipe

This is the video for Magnaflow catback exhaust, ar design catted downpipe, injen cold air intake, bms intercooler, and racechip.

53 seconds is revving. It has natural burbles, no coding or bootmod3. The near redline sound is fantastic, it's a deep loud growl, that I will post if I have time.

Video is for cold start and rev to 4k rpm, second 3k rpm, third 3k rpm.

0-60mph is about 5ish seconds, need to buy some stuff to get official time.

I installed the Magnaflow catback exhaust, it was 1/2 of an inch short to making a complete seal. So I bought this connector from amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This is high quality, I purchase two, one was jaggedly cut, this one was clean. Adjusting the exhaust after driving it around is necessary so you know where it is touching/rattling. I had loosen all the connecting brackets to redo after two days of leisure drives (wfh, no commute).

The downpipe was relatively easy, I do not get why people post such difficult videos or posts on it. This is a california car, so no rust/corrosion anywhere. The annoying thing is torx bolts connecting to the transmission which takes 20 mins a bolt with a regular ratchet. Also you do not need a second person to hold the downpipe from underneath to install. If you bolt it on with a little bit of wiggleroom, you should be able to get the vband on easily. Once it's on, use plier to tighten it then screw it on.
The oxygen sensors, each one clips onto a holder, one to side, one in the back. Both require pushing the live electrical cable back to make space. This took me the longest time since I did not want to rip any wires apart.
You do need to buy screws for the downpipe because the ones on the oem cat were seized on. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

BMS intercooler required some nudging around back and fourth to get to fit perfectly. The intercooler took me 3 hours. The Injen Cold air intake, less than 1 hour. Racechip less than 1 hour.

I also installed these combined with my morimoto hids, there is an aiming screw, but will not help much.

For fog lights I installed these ballasts: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 with xentec hid yellow bulbs.

My car has been coded a couple years ago in preparation when I stopped being lazy and was going to install HIDS/LEDS.

I also installed b8 bilsteins and H&R lowering springs and ebc rotors https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Last on my list is rims, probably black enkei raijin.
