Best price for a UUC Corsa exhaust?

[JCtx]

Looks like my brother is going to keep my car (will know shortly for sure), and the first thing he wants is to put an exhaust. I suggested either Corsa or BMW to avoid drone, and he liked the sound of Corsa, and it's less than half the price. We'd just have to paint the cans before installation.

Which vendor has the best price? On eBay they're $1,500 delivered. I'm sure I saw them for less here. And I also prefer to buy from an actual distributor, in case of a warranty claim. Thanks gang.

I got mine a little cheaper during one of UUC's sales. The ebay vendor WCA performance is an authorized dealer of Corsa.

they sometimes give out 10% off coupons. Also, I think you might call them for a better deal. Let me know, as I may buy a Corsa when my last car sells...

Best price I could find. Mine was delivered today. The seller is BMW of Minnetonka.
Look at this on eBay:

Thanks a lot folks; will check them out this weekend. Appreciate it .

BTW they have a bunch for sale, don't get into a bidding war with a fellow M3post member. (namely me!)

Don't worry man, but better make sure it fits the E92 properly. Asked seller that E92 and E90 MUST be different since tips are welded, and he said it's the same part number. Which means it's going to look like crap on one or the other. My guess is it should fit the E92 well but it'd stick too far on the E90. Since you don't want a bidding war, you buy it and let me know how it fits . Good luck man.

Going by the listed part number, it's an e92 exhaust. I'm well aware... remember, I'm the exhaust slut

anyway, this would be my second corsa and they fit fine.

OEM Exhaust mod for $300 and use the money you save to go on vacation or something worth while..no way would I spend the kind of money these aftermarketeers want for an M3 exhaust..hell no.

I just picked up a nice used one on here for $500 shipped =) Installed it on Saturday and couldn't be happier! It's a good idea to flat black the cans though for sure which is the way mine came!

Only if you want something that sounds like arse.

Clearly sound is subjective, but just tellin ya, everybody who has heard my oem exhaust mod has liked it. It's not the bypass method, it's the original periokid method. IMO the bypass method is freaking loud and doesn't sound very good but that's again my subjective opinion.

Corsa is nice though, the cans do look awful.

Maybe you should have a listen before you insert foot in mouth..9mins 15sec

Sounds pretty good to me..but hey you wanna spend $2K on a pair of mufflers that will prolly drone go for it.

You do know that I've had over 21 different exhaust setups? I've tried more exhausts than you've ever seen. The OEM exhaust mods do NOT sound good to me, neither does the BMW Performance exhaust.

[tibra1]

No..how would I know that.. 21 exhausts really?.. ok.

As was clearly expressed its all subjective..I for one will not spend the kinda of money the aftermarket asks for the M3 exhausts..and personally dont like how after market exhausts look on the M3..out of place IMO

Its nice to have choices so throwing the OEM mod out there as a choice.
In the end everyone must decide whats right for them.

I'm still love this exhaust! Took this video really quick today! Inside car videos coming!

Cool dude... What's funny is that each OEM exhaust mod sounds different, depending on method used and on other factors. '08 exhausts may sound a little different than 09+ units when modded, weirdly. We had a meet a couple years ago and compared sound between two '09 M3's, one with an '08 exhaust unit and one with an '09 and the '08 sounded better (mine). More of an exotic note vs. lower pitched, more Eisenmann like note on the '09 axleback.

Regardless, I am pleased with mine and I think it sounds excellent (again subjective- but literally everyone has complimented it). Much better sound than any Gintani, Eisenmann, or Meisterschaft, much like an Akra Evo except quieter. The only downside is that it is no lighter than stock.

If I replaced my OEM exhaust mod, I would either go back to stock or get an Akra slip-on for weight saivngs. The UUC is a great sounding exhaust. However, the cans and tips are not appealing to me, though.

Meaning there're TWO different ones, correct? That was my point. Seller said there was only ONE system for both E90 and E92, and he's clearly wrong.

Thanks for the confirmation. So you had it before, tried many more, and are going back because it's the best? That'd be a great testimonial, since nobody has tried more systems than you indeed. And definitely no more noise inside the cabin when cruising, even at the ton, correct? Thanks man.

I had one on my E90. Yeah, I loved it. No droning at all.

I did hate the cans and tips. If I get another one, I plan on ceramic coating it black...

Didn't you get the one on eBay? Geez. You made me not bid, and didn't get it? Next time I won't listen to you .

Next time I won't listen to you Well, I'm more pissed at my brother who used my car and told me yesterday he's buying a Ferrari California instead, and giving me his word he'd take it. Thankfully I was smart enough not to buy anything else without the money in the bank. Will just trade it in when I'm ready. If I'm going to get screwed anyway, rather do it without any hassle or risk. With the tax advantage, I'd be better off than the bargains people are looking here. Might try eBay once more, but doubt it. Take care man.
