Beluga E92 catback Exhaust

Anyone ever used or known of anyone using this setup? To me it looks similar to Megan. However, I'm not sure if it's just a bad video but on YouTube it sounds like s**t and seems to backfire. I do know that many people are using their setups for the 335 and e46. Any thoughts or background info for a E92?

What the hell...?
Beluga Racing



Either way, I agree that it sounds like a$$ and what's up with that backfire

Hahahaha! I honestly feel this is a car issue. Maybe they used gasoline to clean the inside. My mind will not allow me to believe that anyone would be dumb enough to post that as a marketing video.

It sounds so nasty because its a cold exhaust with no load on the engine. Whomever decided to use this video for a advertisement should just give it up.

My thoughts exactly. The tailpipe condensation is a dead-giveaway that the motor is cold. Seems like a good idea to rev a cold engine.

I was always embarrassed to post this based on the initial feedback but I did buy this exhaust a while back. I loved it, it was the best sounding setup I ever had. Deep as hell and I would get compliments everywhere. Sounded best on stock x pipe before SC. Trust me, in my 4 years owning my car I have run over 12 different xpipe/catback combos. Say what you want but if you are buying an expensive catback you're playing yourself by not trying this one for the cost.

I've been to countless shows and gatherings in the M3 world and heard them all. The only better setup I ever heard was Dinan catback with catless x pipe. Corsa is up there too but those ugly ass cans have to go. My 2 cents.

i wanted the corsa for its exotic sound but the beluga one seems close to it and i wouldn't complain about the price either. wondering if it works with an e93 too? the item posting on ebay doesn't show it as a "compatible" vehicle. will an e92 exhaust fit on an e93?

The E93 does have a brace under the car that can limit exhaust choices. That maybe why it's not listed.

Looks like just a copy of the Megan racing exhaust. It's what all the random ebay ones are too. I'm sure it sounds good with test pipes just like the Megan.
