This sounds insane!

When searching this thread, YouTube and Facebook group, there were only a handful of clips of the Titanium valved paired with an aftermarket x pipe.

I have full Akra on my car but have been looking for a new replacement for the rear section as the Akra is wayyy to quite. This should pair nicely with the Akra x pipe!

Just got mine set up over the weekend and, unfortunately, I'm encountering fitment issues. Tried at home and then took it to a shop but same conclusion. The muffler chamber is fully against the heat shield and the tips are still pointing low and have the right lower than the left. What it looks like is manufacturing variation in the pipes causing the tips looking crooked, but I can't for the life of me figure out how it's supposed to fit without being directly against the heat shield. Vehicle is a 2008 E90 M3. Will reach out to Turner and post more pictures when I have them, but wanted to share my experience.

The muffler box on mine touches the heatshield as well but I don't think it'll be an issue. I did have problems with tips not being even at first because I wasn't holding them as I tightened the clamps. Might be worth trying to loosen them up then hold them horizontal as you tighten the clamp and see if that helps.

I mentioned mine touches in my install. Tips are fine to me, maybe subjective, but you can see my pics.

Any concerns about running this with a supercharger? I recall the Valvetronic/IPE/Alibaba setup is no bueno long term due to added back pressure when the valves are closed, but this setup looks more like an OEM style muffler with cutouts for when you want to get rowdy.

I'll let you know next summer how mine is. I've only run it for a month so far and it's been fine with the increased back pressure.

A friend of mine has been running his valvetronic for 2 years with no issues and he is also supercharged. I think getting a vacuum pump makes a big deal as opposed to pulling engine vacuum

Just got mine! It appears the front/center hanger attachments are slightly misaligned - one is slightly lower and forward in position than the other. Not sure if this is worth reaching out to Turner for or not - fairly small difference (pic attached) but seems they should be totally straight. Is this going to cause alignment issues with the tips?

Otherwise quality looks great and very well packed as others have mentioned. Happy to share impressions once installed.

I want to know how this sounds compared to valvetronic design exhaust with a catless x pipe. I loved valvetronic when opened but it was still too loud when closed.

There may be enough flex in the rubber hangers to make that crookedness negligible. Think those hangers are more for support, but could be wrong.

Hi all!

Update on hanger issue above, I was able to do an exchange despite the missing original packaging!

If you are considering this exhaust system I will go above and beyond with customer support. Please messsge me to place order!

Would someone be willing to do me a favor and measure the length of the exhaust tips that come with the exhaust? I purchased mine without tips so I could pick a custom option and am trying to figure out the maximum length I should be looking at for proper fitment

I just made a new post about some sound clips on mine. Install was super easy and it sounds mental! Tone is absolutely perfect

Fit great for me, I didn’t even have to bang out any of the flanges. Nothing seemed bent and it all lined up perfectly. The quality and welds seemed to be very top notch. Great customer service too

Just because I can’t PM you pics, here are some I took (pardon how dirty it is).

I’d like to hear a clip of the exhaust without filtering, clipping, eq’ng and all that other post processing. A cleaner video please.

None with the mic taped over the exhaust; no one hears it that way! A simple drive by or interior capture would fine. Using your mobile phone would be even better because we can interpolate from that.

Since this thread is about the exhaust and fitment questions; has anyone confirmed if any aftermarket carbon diffusers work with the normal size exhaust tips?

Does this exhaust get as quiet as stock or quieter with valves closed?
