E90/E92 M3 Exhaust Systems Overview

I Like Tubi..

This Thread is awesome !

is anyone combine x pipe challage race with akrapovic slip on?

Good posting. I am in the process of selecting a system.
My research comes down:
1. FABSPEED X pipe with dual resonators for $785 with 15hp and 8 ft/lbs
2.AFE 49-36321 HFC with X pipe dual resonators for $1675 with 19hp and 8 ft/lbs (based on the published dyno test)
In my opinion the list expensive option with reasonable gains comes down to the Fabspeed

I am in the process of making a decision between these two
1. Fabspeed x pipe with dual resonators for $750 with 15hp and 8ft/lbs gains or
2. AFE XP pipe with dual HFC and dual resonators for $1625 with 18hp and 8ft/lbs gains

To me the least expensive option with desent results is Fabspeed X pipe

This thread is great, and i have been following a lot of threads over here, as i m planning to swap my e90 330i for an e90 M3 , just got a quick one, Who is BMW's PE manufacturer?

You really can't go wrong with any of these, can you?

Not a fan of the blue tips, though... makes me think of the 350Z forums I used to frequent.

Are you talking about these pipes: http://www.eagleday.com/bmwm3e92x2nc.html?utm_source=googlepepla&utm_medium=adwords&id=18283950120?

I do like the keeping the car look and feel as stock as possible, so I'm with you on option 1. Also, 'howdy' from a fellow Houstonian.

Anyone (or the next few to read) recommend AFE vs. REMUS? Any brand preferrable over the other? Any droning? Any suggestions or comments in general would help. Thanks in advance.

rpi xpipe with dinan catback

Found this on youtube. A friend's old car:sigh:

i use İpe and thats the best i think !!

So from reading everything, I am guessing Akra gives the most gains? Or is it MRF? I hear they have stop producing their stuff.

DLSJ5 makes over 700whp with his VT3 supercharged setup equipped with a Macht Schnell X-Pipe and OEM muffler.

Obviously, no issues with restriction and proven power.

It made really good power, FWIW is was ~711whp, the MS X pipe also sounded nice paired with the OEM muffler.

usually the x-pipe paired with all other bolt on's and a tune will get you 4-5hp !!!

the most power comes from the catless pipes + tune (30-40hp)

Insane! Any drone?

Quick video i did of my ActiveAutowerke Axleback with test pipes, mic was not picking up the deeper notes especially easing out in 1st gear but it gives an idea.

This is my e92 m3. Mods are innotech muffler ( not f1 ) , custom and catless xpipe and y pipe

my 2008 stock with KSG X-pipe and F1 sound exhaust under load..

open and closed... such a head turner!

I have a TVS 1740 Harrop Supercharger with an IPE exhaust system that work very well together and sounds exotic!
