Axle back huh?

Interesting how you are muffling the sound with the second leg of the exhaust.

IMO if it's more than $500 it too much. Sounds good on my iPad though. Looks nice too.

The price is definitely going to be competitive. We truly believe that this will be a hot seller. But as many of you know production will take some time. Once we have an approved price I will post up a list for the first group of people that want the first batch of exhausts. I will also post another video today...so stay tuned.

Any power claims, or just for sound like all other N52 exhausts?

Unfortunately we did not have enough time to Dyno the car, as the owner was picking it up. Hopefully we will be able to Dyno a 128i once we release the final product and get one installed here. On the other hand, the numbers should be similar if not the same as those of the 328i exhaust system which was 7 whp.

That's a pretty bold claim. Curious to see some dynos.

Weight is certainly good.

Magnaflow as well as PE both bust this target price and don't sound half as nice, IMO.

Magnaflow sounds like a stock exhaust, and PE doesn't shed any weight...and I'm still not convinced at what they did besides make it the same size as OEM.

AA will make it perfect for us.

I don't really call it bold. You see every other exhaust company making the same claims. PE boast something crazy like 12 HP and +15 TQ.

This design is actually really cool. Looks like a fairly free flowing design with a resonator attached, so if I was to think...you'd be able to maintain some back pressure at low RPM while gaining on high RPM

Everyones opinion is subjective. I think they should offer a non pollished Stainless Steel version for a cheaper price. Not everyone will want the pollished tips and piping, some will. Just a thought.

We believe the price will be very reasonable, but as of now we are just spectating since we still have not been quoted on cost. As soon as I get info I will notify you guys, I will also be running an "Introductory Price GROUP BUY" for the first couple of guys that want first dibs.

Any possibility of black tips? This exhaust looks and sounds great but I love the look of the black tips from my 135i muffler swap.

I doubt it. You'll be better off taking it to your local body shop and get tips painted to your preference.

Wow that does sound nice. Throaty and yet mellow.

IMO a European sports car should sound as elegant as it looks.

One question though...How does it sound inside the car? I wouldn't want the exhaust sound resonating inside the car. Gets in the way of the jamz...

Could you post a sound clip from inside the cabin with the windows closed and through the RPM range?

Unfortunately we did not take any videos inside the cabin, and we cant anymore since the car is not here and the prototype exhaust is in production facility. However I did rev it a couple times from inside and I did not get any annoying done inside.

Manny, I work in media production and could easily record the sound and video after the install. I would certainly love to get in on the "introductory offer" too. Just waiting on the tax money...:P

well you have some months to save up, exhaust is still in production phase

I will be posting a special introductory price before we get the first batch of exhausts in. So stay tuned.
