Bastuck Quad Exhaust System VIDEOS!!!

[cadeucsb]

Sounds sick, love the quad look. Not sure how to describe it, but wish the tips were a bit more nested in the diffuser like the stock pipes/diffuser.

I initially thought the same thing. Until I saw an M6 pass by the other day. The pipes on those are very similar. That comforted me a lot. Here's an example:

Yea true, looks good. I think I am definitely going quad eventually

[EINSER M]

very butch look. you scored buddy. A++++

[1ntense_Rocket]

so since the 130i (N/A) was able to fit this quad on means our 128ers can also??

[HondaGoneRogue]

No actually, it's the same design, only adapted to the 130i. If there is a euro version of the 128, I'm sure they have the exhaust available. I'll see if I can check on that for you.

The 128i is called the 125i everywhere else in the world.

[HondaGoneRogue]

On Bastucks site it says only the 116i, 118i, 120i, 123d, 130i. So I;m guessing that Germany doesn't do the 128/125. Unless of course, it's designated one of the above.
Edit: I looked at BMW.de and they have the 125i. I will call Bastuck tomorrow and ask them if they have any plans for it.

[cagekicker]

wow!

It's a bit quiet from the videos...but I guess that's what sells the most. Maybe they will have a louder version down the road. I'm guessing it's because this is just an axelback. I like the idea of the diffuser but it stands out a bit too much, and the strong vertical lines make the car look even more narrow and tall.

I'm glad that someone is actually creating unique parts for the 1er though, finally.

Thanks Hondagonerogue.

This is not that great of a quad exhaust, my performance exhaust sounds way better and i can have the same diffuser, with that diffuser on the front of the car and the rear almost have the same bumper, it doesnt even look right with proportions to the car. Let alone the fact that the stock exhaust sounds better and is louder than the bastuck and thats without paying any money. If they are going to produce an exhaust that is quad to attempt to bring our 1's closer to that M look with performance. Than please make one that suits the car, and on top of that attempt to at least make the sound that should be coming out of that exhaust. All in all, no thanks for the exhaust, i would rather spend the money on a normal dual exhaust than the extra money just to say I have quads. When a real quad exhaust comes out that meets those specs let me know.

Now THAT not only sounds sick as hell, but looks factory like and seamless. Great find!!!

I do like the look of the IP exhaust. But those soundclips are from a 125i. And I am guessing that you don't know that is an N/A motor, so of course it will be louder. Turbos are at the beginning of the exhaust stream so they act as a muffler. Removing the cats and resonator will make the Bastuck louder. But . I'm . And the stock exhaust is louder?

Here is a pic showing the design of the Bastuck system. Clearly, it is well designed.


See if you can find a pic of the Inside Performance system and then say it's better. To each thier own.

How is the Bastuck system well designed? It isn't even a true twin dual exhaust, it looks like they welded onto the dual exhaust another exhaust head and piping to make it twin dual. the reason why it isn't loud is the way they designed it. the air has to get pulled back in order to go to the right exhaust head. Where as a true twin dual breaks off at the same point. Our cars aren't really designed to house a twin dual because of the components on the bottom of the car. There really isn't anywhere to break off the exhaust to make a true twin dual. The Bastuck exhaust is a wanna be twin dual, if they are going to produce a twin dual like i said before they need to make it right. If the under carriage of the car isn't design to house one, don't put one on, you are going to end up losing more horsepower than you can gain from this exhaust system. Challenge me if I am wrong, but I don't think this exhaust has any gains to horsepower at all, if anything I think you would lose some because of air restriction where the extra exhaust head and piping are. If you stand behind this exhaust prove me wrong, visually from this picture you can see a lot of where the design of a true twin dual exhaust needs more planning and time.

You basically ended the argument with yourself. You are right. It isn't a true quad exhaust, but I like the way it looks. And I seriously doubt I lost power. I can still remove the resonator and ALL the cats and make way more power. Power isn't my issue. I'm coming back to the states from Germany--I'll never be able to drive the way and the speeds I can here. I want the car to look nice and different. I think it looks mean as sh*t. If anybody wants to run me because my exhaust is "hindering me" I will still eat them for lunch. I hung with 5 Porche GT RS's and a bunch of other track prepped cars today on the ring. I love my car. And I hate the fact that we had two pipes from the factory coming out of the same can, so that's "fake" also. The 335i has true duals.

[amiller212]

Let me start off by saying that I appreciate that more parts are coming our for our 1'ers. It's great that companies are starting to come out with more and more products.

That being said, I'm just not a fan of this exhaust judging by the clips (obviously I will wait to cast final judgement when/if I hear it in person). I can't really tell a huge difference in sound comparison to stock (though that is something hard to tell just from video clips). The exhaust tips are sitting too low and the diffuser looks a little bit under-styled. It also looks (like was mentioned previously) that this looks based on the M6 rear-bumper.

Personally (I'm ready to get flamed for this), I am not a huge fan of BMW's styling of the rear bumpers newest M cars. I think they went too far in trying to make it look different then the regular models. I was always a fan of the E46 M3 as it had a nice quad tip setup but there wasn't any exaggerated lines on the bumper around the tips like the current cars have. I prefer the more "understated look (the 335i is also a good example of a great exhaust setup, I prefer it over the e92 M3).

Overall, I think the 135i does look great with quads. I just prefer the diffuser to look closer to stock and I don't think we need to emmulate the M6-type bumper.

IMHO.

[HondaGoneRogue]

^^ I agree whole-heartedly. I don't mind the Bastuck diffuser since seeing the M6. And all quads will have low hung tips unless they design it like the Inside Performance one due to the tight spacing. But then the pipes are going to flow DOWNWARD into the tips which just seems like a no no for flow. I hope to try the 3Ddesigns diffuser shortly. That was my original plan from the start. We will see. And yes, it is VERY difficult to capture the sound on video and even trust that everyones computer has the best sound system. The video was taken in Sony AVCHD 5.1, 1080p. It sounds like heaven on my PS3. If anybody wants the raw files, I can email them, and you guys can put them on a usb stick and play it on your PS3. (If you have one) Then, there will be no questioning the sound.

Looks and sounds mad raw!! +1

Hi HondaGoneRogue!

i love the Sound of the Bastuck (ive got on under my ex Z3 2.2). I only said (for my opinion) that the Design from the InsidePerformance Exhaust looks better to me
Its not easy to get a good, loud agressive exhaust in Germany... there are too many rules ( god damn, my english is bad ). If you buy an Eisenmann or Bastuck in the US, they sound louder, better than the German Version (US Version = only Export (without TÜV, you need that in Germany otherwise youve got serious problems with the Cops). It´s not that easy in Germany

Greetings from Munich

Marco

[HondaGoneRogue]

Ha! Marco, your english is ten times better than my German! And i agree with you. It's hard to get anything agressive in Germany because of TUV. Most loud exhausts in the U.S. are also not street legal if they are that loud or remove the catalytic converter. But I still love the sound!
