Fit was good with the SE x pipe? That’s been my biggest fear is getting under there and finding it needs to be modified to fit correctly.
it definitely sounds louder in your vids. Is there much change in sound driving around or just at idle?

Fitment was fine. In my experience, exhaust mods always require a bit of wiggling things to get them to fit, and this was no different. Just wiggle/push in the desired direction, tighten bolts a bit, rinse, repeat. I reused my factory donut gaskets; I'd recommend replacing those. I didn't have any so I reused mine and my car only has 6K miles on it. so I wasn't too worried. End result was everything seated properly, no bumping/rubbing/leaking.

It is definitely louder driving around, but it's more noticable on cold start or anytime you get the revs up. Again, valves closed and you can't tell a difference which is nice IMHO.

Just to chime in with another positive review: Last week, I installed this Speed Engineering "Double Helix" X-Pipe on my wife's 2019 Grand Sport M7. We used Race Ramps up front and 3 ton jackstands in the rear to raise the car off the garage floor. This is a very nice high quality single piece design and the fitment is perfect. Just make sure you check for leaks; I had to torque down the rear band clamps very tightly to get them to seal. And I replaced the front donut gaskets with Fel-Pro PN 61013 that I purchased on eBay for about $18/apiece. The sound is much improved with open valves and by the seat of the pants it feels like it pulls noticeably harder through the gears. Overall, its a great bang for the buck mod for only $249.00 + shipping.

The Borla 60547 is the older 'no-cat' version, correct? Does it mate to the OEM headers and exhaust?
If so, I'm interested. PM w/price+shipping if its still available.

Correct, the 60547 is the catless x-pipe that everyone is after these days. Direct swap, no cutting necessary and yes it mates between the headers and exhaust.
