Arrow CO: Aftermarket exhaust registry

When I was shopping for my exhaust, I was frustrated by having heard only 3 aftermarket exhausts. I think I just got lucky with the M Performance Exhaust, going by only video recordings.

But people looking for exhausts want to hear the real deal. So how about we share info on what we have, because we're most likely to run into each other at events, meetups or even by happenstance, and it's a long way to hearing what people have elsewhere? Any interest?

Totally agree. DCStep was kind enough to let me hear his AA rear section, otherwise I had to go off videos.

Videos definitely don't do any exhaust justice. I've got the Eisenmann race axel back.

Dangit, I'll be painting my mom's living room.

FWIW, I'm about to pull the trigger on a Gintani slip-on. Trying to decide between Race or the Hybrid setup. Leaning towards Race, although don't want to have db issues at certain tracks (Laguna Seca being one) at WOT.

I am out of town through this weekend, but I'd love to participate in a listen-to gathering!

@dnvrdrvr Gitani was one of my alternates. I think which to choose, race or hybrid, depends upon your comfort level -- frustration at moments when it feels too soft vs. frustration at moments when it feels too loud. The MPE has never felt too loud. I consider that mildly disappointing, but would rather have that than be too loud, drawing the wrong kind of attention when driving around town. (On my E36, it's pretty much an open pipe from cats back, but even so it rarely busts 80db; the most BimmerHaus pegged it was 103db, iirc. It's a different story with the S65, obviously. )

Also can't do this weekend but if the weather is nice the following weekend I would love to get the group together. Great cross section of good exhausts for the M3.

I will be in Puerto Rico next weekend.

This is the problem with BMW enthusiast, we all have too busy schedules to orginize any type of get together unless it is with a months notice.

Maybe we can book something a few weeks out? Say 10am Saturday on
  • March 3rd
  • March 10th
  • March 17th
  • March 24th

Any of these works for me with enough notice. As for where, how about a central location somewhere, preferably with coffee nearby? Suggestions?

I vote for the last weekend in March so you can hear the Gintani Race axle-back I just ordered…

I'll be out at HPR for a lapping day in my E36 (pending weather and at least 10 sign-ups of course).

Editited 3/6: Didn't make it out - they were open but the weather was iffy. Will be trying again this Sunday if you care to join!

Here are the only two recent threads I can find on this meet. It's usually a great collection of cars. Last time I was there I saw a very nice E30 M3.

I'd be joining you, but with luck I'll be installing my Cobra seats for my E36 on Saturday morning (which kind of rules out the cars and coffee this weekend, alas).

Still hoping we can do an E9* M3 exhaust gathering in the coming weeks. With what others have, I'm starting to think mine will turn out to be the most conservative.

Still waiting (impatiently) for my Gintani to arrive.
