Not a big fan from these clips. AA continues to make some akward looking cans.

No midpipe, yet. Most of the other exhaust poster had midpipe with secondary gone or hi flow(some even DP)So wait for midpipe to make judgement.

Will do. I had the full AA on my 08. Loved the tips. Do you know id they will have black and/or cf tip options?

I actually like how they hide thier helmholtz chamber this time. The old exhaust looked dumb from behind if you didnt have a diffuser.

I'm not sure I can ask, I believe you can choose between 90mm and 100mm tips

AA was probably the best sounding I had on my e92 M3. Definitely the loudest I had with HFC's. Does this exhaust have valves?

VCP · 11-23-2014, 03:41 PM

Fantastic setup. Sounds like a big displacement NA motor. Active is a company that leads, not follows. 2 can setup is stand alone so far in the aftermarket exhaust world on the F8x. Great work AA. Looking forward to installing mine.

crand002 · 11-23-2014, 04:37 PM

Sounds great!

AMPowerJ · 11-23-2014, 04:40 PM

Interesting initial videos. AA seems to have figured out a way to get a lower tone and not sound like just a louder OEM exhaust. The 'weedeater' sound seems completely gone. Looking forward to seeing the end result.

+1 right behind you bro!

Money2536 · 11-23-2014, 06:30 PM

Nice! I'm trying so hard to be patient and wait for more exhausts to come out.

M3guy3 · 11-23-2014, 07:52 PM

sounds less ricey than most systems, i like it.

edwinm3 · 11-24-2014, 08:16 AM

Sounds very nice I like it. I really hope they do offer other options and not just that brushed aluminum and most importantly that is not over priced.

dmk08 · 11-24-2014, 08:49 AM

Actually listened to this on my PC instead of my iPad. Sounds much better.

I will do the same when I get home

Sounds good. Looks good. Look forward to full exhaust sound clips...

DieGrüneHölle · 11-24-2014, 10:27 AM

Getting better. Like someone said above less "weedeater" sound. This car is proving tricky to get the right exhaust note.

Hopefully the midpipe retains the deeper tone and actually enhances it.
