Peops, Would this exhaust system be a straight swap for my 3.0d X?

I don't believe so as the pipes are a different diameter which will cause you back pressure issues and will likely affect performance. Some on here have tried it and found the performance was impacted and taken them off again.
Others on here have had fake back boxes installed giving the tailpipes of the V8 whilst retaining the OEM exhaust.

im pretty sure it wont fit, at around £200 someone will likely custom fit tail pipes to your car in the design of your choice

Thanks X5Sport/ Shadrack, that's a relief, budget well and truly spent. Nothing wrong with my current exhaust... I've been bitten and want to do all sorts of mods
My banker is well and truly p!ssed
Hope the link still active and goes to a good home, looks like a decent price for a used but decent system.
