The exhaust looks well build. However, I wonder how much is the performance gain or is it just for sound?

I'm VERY anxious to see how the center exit system turns out. If it ends up using the mid-pipes and Y-pipe from the exhaust I currently have and I'd only need to repurchase the axleback and a diffuser I'd consider going that route in the future! :smile:

Also, the weight savings is probably relatively significant too. I have a buddy with access to a pretty accurate scale that could probably weigh the stock unit on Monday... Any chance you guys could weigh what you built? Thanks, Patrick! To those that care: I can say that under medium (1/2-2/3) throttle the car now has the ability to make cars with alarms set off their "warning" sound in parking structures! :biggrin:

Very, very Nice CP-E....if I was not trying to stay with one tuner(Riss Racing) I would definitely be a buyer of that exhaust. Great sound, great looks, even looks like quality! (SS who?...LOL) Good job guys! I will definitely list you guys as a potential application to anyone that asks!

Thanks! You should definitely pick one up if you find the BMW exhaust ends up being too quiet for your tastes! :headbang:

I won't begin to claim that this exhaust is "tame" - it's not, but it's also not obnoxious either! The best comparison I can make is if you take a 135i, throw in a little bit of E46 M3 grunt, a dash of MKIV Supra in the mid-range and a sprinkle of sport bike + F1 car and you'll have what this sounds like. :wink:
