What happened to nightrunners performance thread?
I’m racking my brain trying to remember the username of the guy who was waiting (for a long time) on the nightrunners performance exhaust…what ever happened there? I’d love if this was a legit exhaust option for the M50i but the thread disappearing isn’t promising. Anybody have any insight?
As an aside, I removed the resonator and replaced with straight pipes a couple weeks ago. Volume at full throttle is better but still not very loud. It is very raspy. I don’t mind the rasp when I’m giving it the beans, but when I’m on my commute home in traffic, that hollow tinny sound just isn’t good. Hoping for a more reasonably priced option than what is currently out there but I’m not holding my breath. |

Glad to hear it’s still on track even if delayed. Please do keep us updated, I’d love some pics and sound clips as well as your overall impression on quality and fitment.

Good question, I wanted to get in on the “sponsorship” pricing but didn’t want to risk the money when some basic requests couldn’t be met.
I’m playing the waiting game on this one. |

I think I’m going to wait a little while to see what they do. They don’t even have pictures of the exhaust on their site. I asked for one and they sent it to me. So I figured they had them made already. Then a day later he told me he had to make it and it takes 22 days.

I responded to his "sponsorship" program for another platform and the image he sent was almost identical to the Alibaba version. He also refused to reply when I asked him if it was from Alibaba. |

I've actually heard good things about this specific manufacturer and am waiting on a few people to get theirs and report back about fitment etc before ordering one. I've spoken with them and one of the services that they offer is adding your own branding / label to the exhaust. If nightrunners isn't using these guys they are using a very similar company. |

Yeah, he told me these are made in China. I figured some sort of drop shipping deal. Didn’t bother me though as the price seems right compared to all other options. Is there something to be concerned about with this type of purchase arrangement?
Mine is currently being installed. I’ll have back this weekend as I have the shop doing some other items as well. Like I said, I’ll share results with everyone. |

Please do let us know your impressions once it’s installed. There are a handful of us that would like an exhaust upgrade but aren’t willing to drop the insane money for some of the other systems out there. |

I just didn't like the vibe I got from him and would rather work directly with the manufacturer to get what I want without any "sponsorship" strings attached. |

Spot on, and support will likely be the same whether you purchased through a reseller or direct. I’m anxious to get your impressions…this will be my next purchase if it’s confirmed to be a decent system.

Yes, installed. Sounds good. I do tax work so just too busy at this point to provide any updates. Sorry to keep everyone on edge. Will provide more insight next week. Thanks.
