Does anyone else with a petrol SQ5 think the exhaust sounds and looks a little underwhelming ? I know it's only a V6, but it is supposed to be an 'S' after all.

So do you think any of the tuning/engineering companies on here might be interested in a mod if there were enough takers ?
..........where abouts is he please?.Best thing to do would be take to PCWMods (Paul), as if anyone can work his magic on the factory exhaust, he can

Milton Keynes - I've just emailed him and will let you know what he has to say.
Agree mate, that is one of the reasons I went X3 M40i
my new BMW is a tad loud on start up, still running in so havent been able to try it properly with the tunnel test yet.
I found my SQ5 loud enough, it is a refined tourer not a racer and I am not sure that too many pops and bangs fit the upmarket SUV image....
agree, and not talking about pops and bangs, but nice to hear the engine/exhaust note, in my opinion. But some prefer the quietness, and in that sense you cannot beat the Q5/SQ5 etc.
You can use something like BimmerCode and dongle to turn off ASD (Active Sound) in the BMW

Hows about a 2016 SQ5 DIESEL exhaust - unmodified of course:
Just had to do it (Nev) - just now - cos the PCW exhaust is just, well, a nonsense...
It'll not let me say CRAP!

Haha, you are relentless, fair play.
How can the PCW Mod be a nonsense? At least it is REAL sound, and not fake sound created by a speaker

Does sound good though, Nev, false/enhanced or otherwise it does sound good/different/interesting and not so loud to be obtrusive; and here's BLUEY if only to compare what a sweet sound an AUDI straight-5 'petrol' makes:
A one bucket wash please note...
No THAT is a proper sound! No arguments here.
But going back to OP's original question, the ONLY way to get "some" sound out of the muted petrol SQ5 is:
(In no particular order)
- PCW Mod
- Soundaktor
- Sports Exhaust
- 2016 SQ5
The 1st one being the cheapest, and is VERY highly rated across this forum, particularly with FL RS3 owners

And from today with a "custom" SQ5 avatar" Nev...
Here's more of what I used to play with (up to 1985), Nev, though these are not marine:
A pair of these in a GFRP hull at full chat (850bhp @ 1800rpm each) down the Solent was a laugh...

A few people on the US forum have done it. Some get no problems pit I've seen a few people say it causes codes to come up.
Not sure if this is done through vcds or not though.
I've gone stage2+ with 034 and exhaust is perfect now
Best thing I've done haha!! Would 100% recommend. I've just bought the bits to go 3+
