Car @ Billy Boat for Exhaust R&D
Guys, I just wanted to let you know that my car is currently at Billy Boat Exaust for R&D of a full new exhaust system! I will pick it up Friday, and it will sound much better. I can't wait to hear it. They said they will most likely do an x-pipe & rear section. We will see!

Nice! Billy Boat wanted to use mine last year, but I just couldn't give up my ride for a week... I'd love to hear it in person when its done. I'm still trying to decide on what exhaust to get.

Luckily I could give it up for a week. I also contact Baer Brakes to see if they wanted to do a big brake kit, but they did not right now. Oh well.

Oh reaaaaally? B&B was the final exhaust on my e46 (I went through 5) and I loved it, although I had to double resonate it to negate the drone and rasp. Looking forward to hearing what they can do on the e92, keep us posted

I will keep you posted. Hopefully they send me some pictures. If not, I will get pictures of it all on my car this weekend.

I picked my car up from Billy Boat today, and the exhaust system sounds amazing. I love it! Here are a couple pictures...

Construction quality and finishing look very nice. Enjoy! What is retail on the system?

I'm assuming retail of $1700 is for the axle-back, not full headerback? How loud is it (louder than Eisenmann race, etc.)? Deep v8 rumble or more F1 high-pitched? Any before/after dyno's? Looking forward to more pics & vids, thx!

I have not heard any other exhaust in person, so I don't know how it compares. It is definitely not a high pitched exhaust at all. It is amazingly low toned, and pretty smooth. There is no burble to it, I would call it refined I guess. It is even very smooth and low at high revs. They did dyno it, and I am supposed to get the graphs on Monday or Tuesday from them. They said it picked up HP over all, and that is all I know. One definite benefit was that it weighed a ton less. -Andy

No sound clips yet. There is a slight drone at low RPM's, but it is ever so slight, and not annoying.
