Just wait until CP-E releases their cast bell-mouth DP's. That'll be the best turbo-back on the market. I'll let you know when I get the whole set-up installed :wink:

got a combo

RR down pipes with the rest by C-PE. Love it. fits perfect looks and sounds evil. might be a little to much drone for some. If thats the case get the mid pipe with the resanator.or how ever you spell it turbos spoll faster and hit harder. this was the best choice I could find very happy!

I had to put my vote in for RR. Great products and great customer service. Once some folks post some real world dynos we will all have better judgment.

love the cp-e, just wish there was a quad option... i know it's just cosmetic and will add weight, but i don't really care about an extra 10 lbs at the back of the car (it'll just help with weight distribution:thumbup. It would just look and sound so menacing.

personally, for just a catback exhaust i would go custom. after the primary cats, i'll do a resonator delete, 2ndary cat delete, and magnaflow muffler. much cheaper than a catback and probably very similar gains.

You'd be hard pressed to find a dealer void some part of the warranty due to an aftermarket catback exhaust.

To be honest most of the catbacks will probably deliver very similar results( I could be wrong). I would personally go for the one that you like the sound and look the best, and maybe even price.

cp-e is going to offer the standard design catback to be similar to stock in layout but another option for a center exit, dual tip exhaust and corresponding bumper to fit. It's a throwback to the 2002 and it looks haut.

Gotta love the RR exhaust, definitely a high quality system and fairly priced IMO.

Went with Meisterschaft on my new 135

A couple of reasons: Met with the distributor and saw the operation. Listened to other Beemers with the Meist exhausts.
It was installed at their facility while I watched and asked a bunch of questions. They know their stuff - especially John. (I saw the GTR that's going to SEMA - what a car!) I really, really LOVE the sound and the dynamics of the exhaust note changes.

I got the GT. When you take it to redline it is incredible and the report between gears on downshift - right out of a movie sound track.

Didn't compare to others except price. The price was a consideration but not anymore.

So many people voting for an exhaust that isn't even out yet.

I have yet to hear anything but positive feedback on the Riss Racing products. And I've seen them and experienced first hand those products in person. You won't regret it.
