Talking From Riss Racing: What do we 128ers want to see on the market?

I have an opportunity to help over at Riss Racing and Adam from Riss Racing has asked me to ask all of your guys and girls with 128s what parts we want to see on the market for our cars. He told me that they are already thinking of the exhaust, but what else do you want to see? Intakes/pulleys/headers, just to name a few. Let's see those opinions!!!!

hey guys, here's an update from adam:

"In regards to the intake/exhaust/intake manifold/etc. we want to see what options people want/don't want. Do most people want an exhaust thats fully catless or resonated/catted? Do they want the option to swap out the cats/resonators for straight pipes later on down the road? Would people use a short ram intake instead of cold air so its safer during raining season as long as it makes power? Some things I want you to really check with the other members. When we're doing performance parts on a vehicle, we want to make sure they're the absolute best. So everything people hate about a companies products, we want to know. Why do they hate the product, what is the reason. Fit/finish/look/style? Same thing for guys that love their performance parts. What do they love about the pieces. The more information we have before starting the project, it will help us greatly in the long run."

so what do you say guys?

Exhaust: Straight pipes/Catted-Resonator/Catless?
Any complaints about other exhausts on the market right now?
Any praise towards the other exhausts?

Personally, I don't have experience with the other exhausts, so any thoughts are perfect.

Intake: Do we want to have a short ram or have a cold air? (in regard to the people who are concerned with hydrolocking, even though there are ways to prevent it)

They've been doing flashes in the US for quite some time now. I forgot the name of the company.

I think we need something that will grant us the HP of 130i. As far as my gathered information, there is hardly any difference in the engines, and 30 HP is huge and I WANT IT

No opinions on the exhaust either, but I would prefer a short-ram intake for more low end power.

well adam told me they need more information on what we, the consumers, want from them, so in order for them to start testing and working on parts, we have to give them more ideas and what we want
