Looks the business Nik. Glad you like it and I miss that exhaust note a lot, especially the downshift and crack/pop when changing gears.

A lot less volume. Neighbours would be loving it though. It will take some getting used to as I really liked the aggressiveness of the AA and this is a bit tame. The AA was just badass. I test drove the c63 and got back in my car and thought AA was louder at WOT. Good loud though. Its going to be hard to fill that void.

Don't you have the JC Sportline diffuser or something?

So that is where your old exhaust went - does your new ones not do that ?

Going to write up a review on it?

Was going to, but don't see the point. AA sounds a lot better imo. Exhausts are very personal though and the sound of the AA suited me a lot more.

Sometimes I would have to cold-start in an undercover shared garage with my exhaust tips 2-3 cm away from the concrete wall at 6:30am in the morning... neighbours car beside me would set the alarm off so she ended up deactivating it. This could have been avoided if I parked my car nose in, but this was too hard because my car was too low. Brought home an X3 loaner one day and she was so ecstatic, saying how loud my 'old car' was, then I broke the news to her that it was a loaner

Normal starts are fine, it's the cold starts that make the earth shake.

Look forward to seeing what you've got planned for wheels and low Nik

The most recent official post on the Cobb forums says "The release of the Cobb AP for N55 is still too far off to even provide and estimated ETA".

That was only a week ago...
