Well the manufacturer claims "up to 14HP" but colour me sceptical. I've never seen a before and after dyno that was not done by the company trying to sell it to us...
I'm just looking for a little bit better air flow... |

What I'm surprised about is that there are no reports around where people have actually measured the pressure drop in the intake system. Looks like I might have to do it myself! There is very little point swapping out different bits in the hope that it will make a difference - much cheaper and more effective to find the bottlenecks first and then fix just them.

In terms of volume, I would say the AA is an 8.5/10 and the PE is 6.0/10. Everyone says they can hear me minutes away and I didn't believe it until I spoke to someone on the phone and they said they could here me each time I would go WOT - and this was when I was a few minutes away! Also, I tend to set off a few sensitive car alarms from time to time - usually in undercover car spaces. The cold starts make the walls shake. Both exhausts will drone. I think the AA is about 6.5/10 and the PE is 3.0/10. I recently drove to Sydney and back and I survived, but if you do a lot of highway driving the AA probably isn't for you, unless you like the music loud. Like any mod, you get used to it so i find the drone non-existent unless I'm hungover or have a headache, which isn't very often. But if you sit in the car for the first time you will notice the drone straight away and probably wonder why I did such a mod until I plant my foot or play with my paddle shifters. I find the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and if there's ever a time to have a loud exhaust it's now whilst I'm relatively young. I know I'll want something a lot more civilised and sleeper in the future but for now I don't mind the volume from this straight 6 twin turbo! |

How long (for those who have ordered via USPS) does it take for a United/Tischer shipment to get to Australia? Some stuff I've ordered via USPS can take a month (non-car, fit-in-envelope stuff) from postage date!

I got my 313 Wheels from Tischer. USPS Priority> Aussie Post.
10 days from credit card payment to delivery at my door. Can't complain about that. |

No problem. There is definitely drone contrary to what they say. I've only heard the PE on the N52 and it sounds amazing, you really can't beat OEM sometimes.

I don't know what makes it louder - I'm sure someone around here does - but I do know that it sounds even better on the N55 than the N54...

It will sound maybe 10-20% more aggressive. I'm sure whichever setup you get you will wish it's louder after you get used to it anyway. It's a lot like adding power. I'd like to eventually replace my midpipes but I set off enough car alarms as it is! And I wouldn't like to my neighbours either

My order from getbmwparts arrived at my door, in great packaging, about 10 days after I was charged. Highly recommend. In fact, I will be buying more from them very soon!

Did you have to send them copies of your credit card and id? I tried to process an order and they needed copies of this and I wasn't keen.
