///Gravity: Rumors are true - G.A.S 135i Exhaust System!

gravityautosports · 09-02-2009, 03:31 PM

Guys,

Our customer's car that the first production system was going on had a custom exhaust system on it that didn't reuse the stock doughnut gasket that goes between the axle-back and the mid-pipes. We had to wait to get one in before he could install it, so sorry for the delay.

He took some pics and some videos, here you go!

I'll update with our own pics and vids in a bit as well as the preorder.

This one sounds SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than the Revision 1 - it's incredible!!!! The new design got rid of the really bassy low end, but added more scream up top. The power delivery is also a lot better and the car spools a lot faster and feels peppier. We're expecting some very good power delivery!

Install took our customer probably 10-15 minutes - no joke. Everything bolted up PERFECT with ZERO gaps, problems, or anything of the like. He did the install himself with a small household air compressor and hand tools at his house.

More formal update in a few as well as more pics and videos, just excited to share!

Sounds amazing... This is definitely at the top of my list right next to the cp-e exhaust.

Any info on when it will be released and how much it will cost?

Schn3ll · 09-02-2009, 05:37 PM

Sounds awesome, when can I get mine with black race tips Andy???

randomquickness · 09-02-2009, 05:46 PM

awesome work! that is by far one of the best sounding exhausts I've heard yet on a 1er

arok · 09-02-2009, 06:58 PM

doesn't sound bad at all, esp since he's DP back.

My135 · 09-02-2009, 07:07 PM

The vid sounds about the same as my aFe which is good. If you listen carefully, it sounds about the same as aFe, RR and Magnaflow, but it sounds more different as compare to CPE, Meisterschaft and Corsa.

seriously price this sucker right, and you've got a solid gold winner... this is the sound I wanted to get out of my 135 since day one (hearing some of the 335i exhausts).

My135 · 09-16-2009, 12:29 PM

Price on the mid-pipes?

ridin135 · 09-20-2009, 10:47 AM

Any updates

gravityautosports · 09-21-2009, 06:53 PM

Hey guys!

Sorry for the delay in posting up again, our local customer who has the exhaust on his car has been really busy and we couldn't get a hold of the car for quite some time. It's going on the lift for under-body pictures tomorrow, but we are going to go ahead with releasing pricing and all the info tonight. Group Buy will open in a separate thread tonight too, so please look for that!

Here are a few more pics for you guys, courtesy of our local customer (Thanks Mario!). You can see his old setup (custom made locally) and then our system in the pictures.

More pics including a few from our pro shoot coming in the Group Buy thread in a couple of hours everyone, thanks for your patience!

** On our muffler, the weld line you see goes facing the top part of the car, so the muffler is nice and smooth with no welds on the underside. **

Some of the major changes he noticed:

* Less sluggish performance, good mid-range usable power AND top end power.

* No drone!!

* Aggressive, distinctive tone, no deep/bassy muddy sound like some of the other exhausts out.

* Not too loud, and not too quiet - just right!

New HD videos and sound clips coming too!

ridin135 · 09-23-2009, 09:57 AM

Did I miss the group buy link?

twenzel · 09-23-2009, 10:21 AM

I want this... pricing info?

No, it hasn't been posted.

Some of these vendors are comical.. I don't know why they just don't keep quiet until they actually have a product ready..

Gauging interest initially is one thing, but making promises and disappearing constantly sucks.

Jettafanatic · 09-27-2009, 03:08 AM

1) any sound clips resonated / non resonated? Cat / Non-Cat DP?
Prices yet? ( mostly interested in mid pipes )
Thanks!
(BTw Stage II DInan can do before / after dynos.)

There is a group buy up now on this page, its under the iCarbon name now as opposed to Gravity.

gravityautosports · 10-02-2009, 01:49 PM

Hey guys! Just so you know, in case you guys haven't seen the new thread, the GB is up and iCarbon Design (the manufactures of our exhaust system) are handling the opening GB.
