exhaust question?

Hi all,
After hours of listening to exhaust notes of different products for the car,I think i like the BMW performance exhaust note the best. Now I called Brisbane BMW and they quoted me $3K for it... Im sure there are other places that sell this cheaper, Preferably within Australia? I know that you can buy from overseas but are there any other options here?

Kind Regards
Nick

Ps, picking my new/used car up in a few hours.

Ahmed's Exhausts Shop is damn good but i reckon you should go chat to the BMR boys as they can get the kit for you at a much better price. Find them on Facebook.

You won't be able to get the exhaust from the BMW dealer - it is not legal here.

Go through BMR or someone in the states.

I got it from Dan@UnitedBmw for $1175 shipped.

It replaces a bit of your midpipe too FYI (your resonator to be specific)

I went through the same process. Brisbane BMW gave me a price. Then called me back a couple of hours later and told me that the couldn't sell it to me as it didn't meet ADR.

They told me they'd still fit it if I imported one though...
