Interesting. I wonder if all the fancy curves and bends in the quad 1M rear-section is causing extra back-pressure vs a straight shot like some of the 135i exhausts.

I was planning on doing CP-E downpipes and resonated mids first, and then maybe the CP-E or Akra rear-section.

I wonder why Rob came to that conclusion. I remember in my time visiting them in Austin he said the Intercooler was probably the first piece, but that was based on his personal 335i experience. I know the 1M has an upgraded intercooler and radiator vs the other models. (besides "335is"?)
