Any recommendations for an exhaust system at or around $1,000?
Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

BMW Performance. I think it's less then $800 from Dan@United. ? Just PM him.

Really?! Lol I'd be interested in that. It wouldn't void warranty and it's a nice exhaust

I might go to a local muffler shop here In Miami and get x pipes, and change the tips. Lol. Maybe cut off the resonators or cats, thats iffy tho. I just want it to sound deep at idle and at low Rpms, then aggressive as I rev and the Rpms increase.

BMW exhaust is a great way to go, everyone that has one for the 128i swears by it. I was about to get one when I met up with the guys at ark, now I am just waiting for them to finish up the product so we can put it on. My suggestion would be to wait to see how that turns out, since it will be one of the few aftermarket ones that will have a 128i specific application. Not sure how much I can reveal, but lets just say, its probably worth waiting to see how it turns out. Plus, you could save up cash for your exhaust weather you end up getting the bmw one or not.

How long would the guys at ark take to finish the product and how long would it take approximately? Lol I have time b4 I get an exhaust. Gotta save up the flow for it

Should be sometime soon. They said about two months when I picked up my car, which was about 6 or 7 weeks ago. Now granted, that will be for the prototype fitting. I would say its safe to say the exhaust will be sale by the summer. but maybe that's an optimistic look seeing how long some products have taken from other vendors.
