I am going to wait until the system is installed on a few cars and there is more real worlld feedback on the forum. While the engineering design seems really excellent, I am concerned that it will just be too loud for a DD that sees alot of freeway cruising.

These are valid concerns but how to you plan on determining this? This is one of the loudest exhaust out there and if you run a catless system its even louder. the resonator definitely calms down the exhaust and helps eliminate drone but if you are not interested in an aggressive exhaust tone then the HPF system may not be for you.

Any more updated sound clips to help us decide? Maybe some highway driving or at least a good stretch of road cruising at around 2k - 3k rpm

When a few people get the system installed and post comments about how loud it is in everyday use, that will be the most helpful. Better yet would be to find one locally and hear it in person. If it is difficult to hear the radio or have a conversation in the car at freeway cruise then most likely it is too loud for me. Aggressive under accelleration is one thing, loud at all speeds is difficult to live with.

I believe we are still waiting on the prototype with the correct resonator to be delivered, any update on the status of that?

Hey guys... So they took an extra few days to get me out the correct one because they apparently are shipping us 3 of our 335i Exhaust systems with the 135. Should be here middle to end of next week and I already have Mr. Mineo coming in to help out so we dont have any more delays. I should have tracking information on Monday and once I have that I will make another post to update everyone. Thanks again for all your patience, I promise it will be worth it!

The 335 came in earlier than expected so im hoping for the same on the 135!
