okay im full now

I am waiting for Rich or Nick to upload the pics they got and the short sound clips. we're gonna take more fly-by clips and what not, but yesterday the roads were pretty busy.

First i want to thank Rich and Nick for choosing my car to prototype on. they're probably the easiest vendor out there to deal with, no delays, not BS. I gave them the car twice and got a E46 loaner ( Rich), and by the end of the 2nd time it came back with the exhaust on.

So the exhaust is axle-back, made by Autobahn Exotics. The exhaust is louder than stock, especially if you are outside the car. But it's not a loud exhaust. just louder than stock, deeper than stock, very clean sounding, with no drone. i tried going 20 mph in 5th gear and i was really happy with the sound.

I think there will be a "race" version that's going to a louder version, i still expect it to be clean-sounding with no drone.

im very happy, it's the way i like my exhaust. OOO and i can still hear the "whine" sound too, i love it.

I'll let Rich and Nick lead the talk about the specification, coz im a n00b hahaha

Looks good. I think I see two small mufflers.

Do you have to hack off the OEM muffler or does this one include pipes? How much does it weigh?

Its completely bolt on, no need to hack off anything or weld anything. It bolts straight up to the factory ball flange in the back.

We should have the sound clip video ready at some point this weekend as well. Stay tuned.

Glad youre enjoying it Nabil!!!

It has a GREAT tone, but doesn't seem very loud. Is that just the video?

Not feelin the look.

It might look better with staggered tips.

Looks like someone slapped a couple of magnaflow mufflers on.

This is not a Mantis approved mod.

Not feelin' it. Looks cheap especially with that mesh like thing on the inside. Plus the tips extend to far from the bumper. That's ok for an M5, but not this bumper design. Exhaust note sounds kinda like a Greddy.

Keep in mind.. this is a PROTOTYPE version of it. Its the first one made. Obviously there will be lots changed for the completed version from the tips (staggered, etc), and sound.

it's louder than stock, but definitely it's not a "loud" exhaust. this is the "sport" version. a louder meaner version to come, i think. like Nick said

now that the exhaust is kinda broken in it's a tad louder, it's only getting better.

Nick/Rich, race version soon?
