Those look awesome. Does installing these void the warranty at all? This is the first time where even my gf liked the look of the exhausts and girls don't usually give 2 sh*ts about exhaust.

Hi Ian. Nope, BMW is being very tight-lipped about it. I asked them directly if it was Eisenmann about 6 months ago, and the answer was "no", but that was before the production delay pushed the release of this exhaust back from summer '10 to February '11. BMW could very well have switched manufacturers in that time.



I don't know, as I haven't installed it. Based on the product manager's description and the clip of the exhaust that BMW released last week, I'm guessing that it's going to be less bassy and more raspy than the ES in the low RPMs, less droney during cruising speeds, and louder during WOT. But that's speculation -- I'll let you know in about a week.




Thanks, Scott. Some friends and I may be doing Cars & Coffee either on 3/5 or 3/12. You should come out to that -- give me a call for the details.



I didn't measure them yesterday, but I will next week. They looked bigger than the stock tips when I was taking these pictures yesterday, fwiw...




I'll have EAS weigh the unit. It was definitely much lighter than stock, though. I was able to pick up the exhaust with one hand yesterday -- not something I could have done with the stock one.

And for those of you inquiring about the price, you can send a PM to Jimmy (GOLFFRR) for a quote. I got it within +/- $100 of what he's been quoting.
I'll get weights as soon as the exhaust arrives.

I would like to see before and after dynos on this exhaust, someone who is picking one of these units up should test it.

When aajami sees the new toy we just had installed, that just might be possible.

Shouldn't be any problem...normally ceramic coating is used over cheap aluminized piping to prevent oxidation and corrosion when used in high temp conditions. Inco is a special alloy developed for high temp applications so it doesn't need any cheap ceramic coating. Having said that if you are doing it to better hide the ugly boxes I can see your logic.

I'm curious to hear this as well.... I'm a big fan of OEM stuff... but I'm pretty sure the sound just won't justify the price they are asking for it.

Thanks, Tom. So the tips are 76mm (and change) then, which makes them a hair bigger than stock.

Anyone know how much the stock exhaust weighs?

Given its OEM that would be a massive no.

Not as much as the eye would show. Info updated in my previous post.
