Links for the instagramless 2 revs at about 3000 and 5000 https://streamable.com/14i6m Warm idle https://streamable.com/lu89g Hey guys just wanted to share my results from a custom full 3" stainless steel exhaust system I just had built by a buddy of mine. Recently I installed the 1M replica rear bumper, and because of that I had to remove the stock exhaust since there was now two points for exhaust tips rather than one like stock. Rather than going a basic axelback route, since I don't really like any of the kits on the market personally, I decided to just have my downpipe modified and do a full 3" exhaust system with quad tips. Some of you might know about the carbon canister that sits on the passenger side in the rear, and because of that it's not as simple as doing a basic Y pipe to get quad tips. It's possible to relocate, but I didn't want to go through the hassle, so we decided to just run a pipe behind the diffuser and it actually came out surprisingly good! Fabrication Work was done by Julian at Bargain Brakes and Mufflers in West Berlin NJ. His tig welding and fab work is off the charts. |

Diffuser is an ebay replica of https://www.revozport.com/product/1m...rear-diffuser/ I would strongly advise to just buy the one from Revozport. The replica was cheap, and it was very tricky to fit and secure somewhat decently. Involved a lot of panel bond, glue, and self tapping screws in a couple of spots for me to feel confident about it. |

Any youtube videos of the sound? Must be pretty loud even with a cat.

I've driven the car essentially straight piped for the last 3 months (stock exhaust with resonator only) before getting this made, which was just ridiculous. In person, this exhaust is the perfect balance in my opinion. I've gotten a few comments at gas stations already basically saying the same too. |

I have a catless dp and use the OEM 135i muffler which gets loud when the flap opens. Many people that hear mine like the sound but I'm looking for a deeper "V8" or "subi STI" sound. If it's a deep sound I'd be interested in hearing it.

Did you use your cell phone to record your videos? I'm trying to figure which would give the most actuate recording of the sound, cell phone, GoPro or laptop. I guess I could try all 3 at the same time, lol.

Is that a Flo-Pro muffler or resonator? I was recommended by someone on our local BMW Facebook group to try the Flo-Pro resonators has they are used on Diesel trucks and quiet the high and mid-range sounds leaving only the low end sounds, which is what I'm looking for.
