Catless Downpipes, cat delete, and resonator delete......that will save you $5,000 if nose and power is all you want.

It's jewelry for your car. If you want to throw the money away than more power to you. But it's not going to do anything more for your car than any other exhaust on the market.

If it's anything like the M3's Akrapovic..... I'd be pissed to spend that kind of money to have it sound like crap like the M3's. I can't understand spending that kind of dough. If you want aesthetics, buy tips, if you want weight reduction, go on a diet.

I like my slip-on for the E90. Nice throaty rumble on startup, excellent scream at high RPMs, and not too loud (some of us don't like highway drone).

The build quality is top notch, too. I love the design of the single muffler, and the welds are amazing.

Its a hard decision. Its like why buy a 911 Turbo when you can buy the GTR. But one is a Porsche and the other is a Nissan.

not really, we are talking about a few pipes and a muffler, not a whole car.

911 > GTR anyday of the week and twice on days that end with 'y'

On your thread opener you said you want "noise and power." didnt mention anything about Name Brand being important.
Sounda like you want Akra. Get it. When you want to sell it...well good luck unless you are willing to sell for 70% off what you paid.
