ARQRAY quad exhaust

135forthewin · 08-12-2008, 11:05 AM

Thought this might interest some of you, if not for the sound than for how great those quads look on the back of a 1.

Esmallstii · 08-12-2008, 11:34 AM

COOL!, Great find!

CAMike · 08-12-2008, 11:48 AM

I was just getting ready to post this same link...Sure wish the picture wasn't so dark but seems to be the first (that I have seen at least) working quad...hopefully more to folow!!

dma550 · 08-12-2008, 12:08 PM

here, capped and bumped gamma.

CAMike · 08-12-2008, 12:11 PM

Much easier to see...thanks!! Quads do look nice on the 1er!!

EINSER M · 08-12-2008, 12:20 PM

this is the info i got from them a few weeks ago; the only problem with this setup is obvious, but also the rear diffuser by 3D japan is not ready yet:

Thank you very much for your inquiry. I have listed all the information you have requested below. As far as HP gains, there is no data for the US market as of yet. Our E92 335i made a 12hp gain, so this can serve as a reference point for you.

Here is the information that you have requested:

Arqray E82 335i (1 Series) Stainless exhaust system:
Part # - 8031AU16
MSRP - $1600.00
ETA - 4-6 weeks production time if units are not already in stock on Japan side

GQ 135i · 08-12-2008, 12:35 PM

Not bad good find

CAMike · 08-12-2008, 12:44 PM

From the back, it looks good but for performance, I think I'll just stick with the stock exhaust and Riss catted DPs...

Misterkris · 08-12-2008, 01:40 PM

dont like. kinda cheesey.

ChrisK · 08-12-2008, 02:34 PM

That is such a hack of the exhaust. I wouldn't be surprised if you lost HP with that.

I value personal opinion but could you provide what specific areas you consider "a hack", please? I'm in no way affiliated with this company or any resellers, just curious as I thought it was a pretty nice design sans the skinny pipe for the right side.

HPADDICT · 08-12-2008, 03:07 PM

Looks good from the back. I would consider this a asthetic modification more then a performance mod for obvious reasons. That right exit can't be good for flow.

RobLS · 08-12-2008, 03:22 PM

Asthetically its amazing, always thought the 1er looked great with quads. But I'm still also concerned about performance, not about the gains, but if it might bring it down slightly.

RobLS · 08-12-2008, 03:22 PM

Although I can always just cap off the new pipe so nothing actually goes through it, I'll just be getting clean tips on the right side and dirty on the left.

EINSER M · 08-12-2008, 03:42 PM

and i thought this setup sounded much better on the n54 setup. is it because its a true quad exahust setup?

bimmerfile · 08-12-2008, 05:12 PM

Hmmmmmm, I like 'em.

But then I've always been a sucker for quads.. :biggrin:

Kris · 08-12-2008, 06:55 PM

Yeah, how dodgy. Crappy pipe out the side = thumbs down! I say RR pipes and stock exhaust

aitsu · 08-12-2008, 07:21 PM

It looks nice for sure.. it sounds like crap.
The E92 version did sound better but even that one sounded sorta cheap.
I listened to a lot of clips of arqray exhausts after this one and they all seem to have a very pronounced rasp for them that i just cant enjoy.. ear grating if you ask me..

oh well.. it's personal taste.

jeremyc74 · 08-12-2008, 07:27 PM

I like the looks, but I'm doubting this offers any performance gain over a regular cat-back, and is likely a little heavier. I'm thinking that's going to be the case with most quad or dual exit systems though, and I'm not going to knock anyone who buys it for the looks alone.

Damn, personally I think the e92 version sounds hella good. The 1er version is pretty bad though.

135iPSU · 08-13-2008, 12:11 AM

that E92 version sounded really sick, if they made that for the 1er i would definitely consider it

MMAJNKE · 09-23-2008, 04:33 AM

that diffuser is money!
