AC Schnitzer exhaust over $3,000?!?!!?

[ChitownM3]

WTF?!?! I emailed an ACS authorized dealer just to see how much remus exhaust would cost with the ACS tips (Thats what ACS exhaust is right?) and he told me over $3000, this isn't even including shipping. I then asked if I could just buy the tips since the Remus exhaust costs less than $1500 and he said no. He is also claiming that ACS adds there own little "twists" to the Remus exhaust to give it an original sounds. WTF, I don't feel like paying another $1500 for their "sound". Anyone know where I can get some ACS tips?!?!

Here is the email...

Yes and No. The AC Schnitzer rear muffler is produced by Remus but AC Schnitzer designs their own style and gives it the specific exhaust note.

Unfortunately, the AC Schnitzer sport tips are not offered sold separately for the M3 vehicle.

But all they are doing is taking the $1500 remus exhaust and selling it for $3k.

The $3k range seems to be the zone for the E92. Eisenmann is in their, too. That's twice what the similar E46 M3 sytems were 5 years ago. Me, I'm going for sound more than looks.

One is a steel catback system, the other one the entire exhaust system in titanium. They sure won't cost the same.

welcome to M3 world. No discounts anymore. 3k for an exhaust really isnt that bad. 11,500 for that crazy Amuse erricson is sorta out of control.

Sorry to spam your thread but our Eisenmann system is under $3000 and we offer free install for local guys. Pm me for more info

Mate, read my post when I test drove the new M3 that was fitted with a list of Schnitzer gear.

I personally had issues with the exhaust, among other things.
