AA Exhaust Review

TomBMW · 06-27-2011, 04:49 PM

Guys, I've read a lot of threads here about the AA exhaust and you really can't judge by videos, or sound clips. You really have to experience it yourself. I'm trying to be as accurate as possible that I believe a lot of people missed.

Sound - MUCH louder than stock. From 1k - 2.5k RPM is where this exhaust's sweet spot is and it's where i find myself trying to be. Kind of hard with the DCT. The rumble is enough to shake coins in the middle ash tray.

Drone - ALL of it is from 1k - 2.5k RPM and it's not bad to me, but my wife was complaining about some sort of headache.

Looks - Fit and finish is incredible. High quality materials and welds.

Overall I'm super happy, this is the way this car should have come from the factory. I was next to an F430 the other day and the guy gave me a thumbs up saying he loved the sound!!

Any M3 sounds better than an F430 IMO (at least outside), and am fully qualified to comment. Just don't race one

That'll have to wait until the ESS kit comes in.

Do you just have the axle back or the full system? With high flow cats or cat bypasses? Just curious, thanks.

I completely agree with you and I am very happy with my AA.
