You're kidding...$800 for that??

I was seriously considering this, but if that's the price there's no way..

Diggy Diggy · 11-12-2009, 04:45 PM

The aftermarket for this car is so sad. You can get TURBO back exhausts for this price on other cars.

BMW86 · 11-12-2009, 05:40 PM

This is my exhaust of choice at the moment but my commitment to the sale is dependant on price... $800 just seems to steep and everyone here tends to agree.

Dropping the price by $200 would seem a lot more reasonable and secure a lot more interest. I would be happy to pay $600 for this product.

InsaneSkippy · 11-12-2009, 08:10 PM

I wouldn't pay a penny more than $600 for this..Most muffler shops can do something comparable for less than half that cost.

new2the3 · 11-12-2009, 09:03 PM

Looks great but so overpriced.

Alext · 11-13-2009, 06:56 AM

Any drive by or rev-from-behind-the-car videos? And $800 is way too steep...unless this is the absolute best sounding exhaust for the 135i!

escobar929 · 11-13-2009, 07:11 AM

although i agree that all axel back exhaust are over priced for this platform, i dont think this one is more over priced than other, Meisterschaft axel back sells for bout that much and Dinan is more expensive

but dont get me wrong, if i had $800 for an exhaust it wont be AA, its def gonna be Meisterschaft or Dinan, love the sound of the Meisterschaft and absolutely love the look of the Dinan and i think paired w/ a custom mid-pipe it can sound as good as the Meisterschaft

aleal86 · 11-13-2009, 10:32 AM

$800 haaha.

...these companies think they can just put a high price and because it's for a bmw we have to pay more...

..it's probably the same quality as an aftermarket exhaust for a volkswagen or audi that u can get for 4 to 500 bucks...... you would think in this economy they would try to work with you.. but hey i guess im no buisnessman......i dont know what im talking bout.

Citizen Z · 11-13-2009, 10:55 AM

Wtf guys, its shiny. Worth every penny.

Alext · 11-13-2009, 04:50 PM

Guys I had this exhaust on my Miata: http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda...t/11-1004.html

Let me tell you this was the BEST quality exhaust I have ever purchased. It is custom made for the Miata by a small-volume US retailer that has a great deal of respect within the Miata community. A LOT of R&D has gone into this exhaust. I had version 1 on my car back in the day and the welds, pipework and finish were flawless. And look at the price: $299!

So what people are saying here about being ripped blind by the aftermarket because we have a BMW is so true.

BMW86 · 11-13-2009, 05:03 PM

I guess we'll just have to wait and see who actually forks out $800 for this. I personally think the exhaust is great and I love the sound, but if it's $800 I'm in no hurry to get it, in the mean time something better will probably come along anyway.

mineo77 · 11-13-2009, 10:17 PM

dont think that price is confirmed, is sent the OP a msg and we are still waiting on pricing. I do agree...$800 for exhaust is steep

InsaneSkippy · 11-13-2009, 10:28 PM

Yup I agree, until AA confirms/denies that price, there's no sense in jumping there shit. However, I hope AA takes into consideration the reactions of people if it IS listed at that price.

dunston · 11-14-2009, 12:54 AM

I wonder how much power it makes?

Alext · 11-14-2009, 01:15 AM

The manufacturer reckons it makes around +40wHP. That's as much as some tunes like the SSTT/JB+. It is not impossible if the stock BMW exhaust is very restrictive but it is pretty suprising for just an exhaust. BTW I just read this thread on E90 about a 335i that dynoed with a HKS full exhaust (they say it is the best performing exhaust for the 335i) and it gained +13wHP.

Lloyd · 11-14-2009, 02:06 AM

definitely no more than 400 for an axleback. sounds good tho, might pick one up when I get my car. anything higher and i could imagine most would rather go custom or go with more full exhaust alternatives

ridin135 · 11-14-2009, 08:57 AM

lol 40 whp man are they smoking some serious crack. But then again this is active I have delt with them before and they are terrible to deal with and overprice everything.

InsaneSkippy · 11-14-2009, 09:35 AM

It would make closer to +4 HP not +40..

mantissss · 11-15-2009, 05:32 PM

ok now I am a HUGE AA fan and this WAS my top exhaust choice but $800 is just plain ridiculous for an AXLE back exhaust...come on active this is a joke

ryan@ActiveAutowerke · 11-17-2009, 09:57 AM

The official price has not been declared as yet. 1 Addicts we be the first to know the pricing when it is released. Thanks for the feedback.

Sweet. There is still a glimmer of hope that this axel back may actually be reasonably priced
