A wise man once told me...when the horse is dead it is time to dismount.

I will ship to an APO and I will be at the Ring on the 25th

MrRoboto - agreed

[JiveTurkey]

Great! Is there a option to get the exhaust tips in black like the stock exhaust tips, if so I'm in. If not, I will wait until that option is available.

[vividracing]

Yes we can do the tips in black no problem.

[uwannago]

what would be the result of pairing that with catted downpiper? - I am also concered with it being too loud.
Thanks-

There's a big difference between the ones stated above and the one you guys are trying to sell. ^ Those have mufflers, yours has no muffler, it is simply 3in piping to a set of tips. Like stated before that can be done at any exhaust shop. I wish you luck. I hope you sell a bunch.

I'm in. Email sent.

The catless downpipes will allow the turbos to spool up faster because of the reduction of backpressure. You will make more boost faster as a result as well. The midpipes are the longest units and have the most resonance. Will it be to loud with that setup, no I dont believe so at all.

Mr Soul - please have a muffler shop do it and send me pics. if it looks as nice finished, I will pay for it.

Hey Dan, I'm still in, do I just order it from the site, or do you still want all my info??

[vividracing]

Just email me since I have all your info. I will keep you on list. I am shooting to have 3 available in 1-2 weeks.

[Monaco35Dream]

Sweet, can't wait!!

[Meisterschaft]

Sorry to interrupt guys.., Just to clarify.
Meisterschaft is not just muffler only.
please review the following photos:

section 1: deletes the secondary cats
and replaces reonator with High performance resonator or Y-pipe (optional)

Section 2: rear section bolts up the joint section: where the stock section 1 ends,
so, it is designed to be fully compatible with stock OE application.

[SoQuick]

too expensive, and how much research went into this......Couldn't have been more then an hour or so.

[Add1ct]

why don't they just do straight pipes back all the way back, eliminating the secondary cats? anyway any mileage gain on these, some with the Riss system have seen 3mpg increases- probably due to eliminating the secondary cats

[vividracing]

I love Meisterschaft They are sold seperately as the muffler and the center pipes.

Add1ct - not sure at all on that.

[ichiban]

do they have mid pipes in the works?

[vividracing]

I would say yes... but not confirmed.

I don't mean to switch topics, but you guys that are complaining about spending $600 on an axle back exhaust should maybe think about driving a different car. Vendors sell their products at a price that goes with the cars they are selling. Take Toyota for example....most parts for the Celica are a hell of a lot cheaper then what us BMW drivers will pay for after market parts. Just like an exhaust for an Aston Martin is a hell of a lot more, then an exhaust for an Audi.

Pricing is all relative to the market. If you guys don't want to pay $600, then don't, but there is no need to hate on this vendor's thread. And for those that say they can do the same thing at a local muffler shop, do it. I'm sure that the guys that are complaining have not gone and done a similar setup yet, if you have please post pics and a review.

I have an idea for all the people not wanting to pay $600....Sell your BMW and buy a Scion. With the extra money left over you can trick out your Scion to the fullest. We drive BMW's and parts will priced accordingly. Just my $.02

so what you're saying is that it costs more money to develop and build an exhaust system for a Scion than a BMW?

i paid $600 for a HKS Carbon TI catback for my Evo8 when it was new... i think the exhaust vivd is selling would be great if it was a catback and not just an axleback

The point I was making that if people don't want to pay a certain $$ amount for parts for their BMW, they should consider driving a cheaper car or a car that is not so fresh to the tuning world.

I paid $600 for a full cat back exhaust on my E46...But the E46 had been on the market for several years. The E82 is relatively new, thus parts are going to be more expensive.
