visor325i · 11-25-2022, 11:36 AM

Potentially interested in E90 versions depending on price and sound

Please ask them not to stamp/engrave the AE logo on the side of the tips, that's horrible lol

jchrystal · 11-25-2022, 02:25 PM

Interested for E92. Need pricing before committing. Also, if anyone has experience with this exhaust w/no front cats, please chime in!

He informed me that he would possibly entertain manufacturing this exhaust again if I could get a group buy together for at least ten systems. So I'm reaching out to see how many e92 and e90 owners would be interested in this. At this time, he didn't want to give me a price until I came back with how many owners would be interested.

Please respond below with the version you would be interested in

e92
e90

Sport
Race

I'd be interested in race for e90 if this is still open

Hey guys, I'm out. I bought an Active Auto exhaust last week. Got impatient

Nisfro98 · 12-01-2022, 06:20 AM

I don't get this. There's 25 potential buyers. OP comes in here to bump the thread. Are there not enough to get a quote? It can't be that difficult.

I think we're close to getting a price. We have to understand this exhaust hasn't been built in over 5 to 6 years. It was a miracle they even took the call to build the exhaust. As soon as i get an update I'll let the group know.

Update 12/06/2022

So I just finished speaking with Scott over at stromung and he was able to get me a price breakdown of what he can offer. As of today, he stated that AE created one exhaust in the beginning and then made adjustments to make it louder, which is what he's currently working on. So moving forward, there will only be one version that is made for the group. Nonetheless, the exhaust that is being created will not have the AE logo on the tips, but will have a laser etched into the muffler "Paul walker tribute."

The price breakdown :
Retailed 1,495.00

If we get 10+ it will be 15% off - $1270.00
If we get 20+ it will be 20% off - $1196.00

The work time will be four weeks after the group order is closed. Each member will be required to lock in their spot with a deposit of $250.00. Stromung will be providing me with a link to their website where the order can be placed. Scott will call each person individually to collect the deposit and once the exhaust is ready to ship, he'll shoot out the tracking numbers to each email address.

Please specify in the notes its for a group buy and the model of your car (e92 or e90)

Once again as soon as I have the link, I'll post it. We're looking to get everything locked in by the 19TH once i can get the link out to everyone.

Can we see what the engraving will look like and btw, why any engraving at all?? lol

***EDIT : oh you said muffler, so nothing apparent when installed I guess?

MPower7 · 12-06-2022, 01:43 PM

The old mod bargains site says the full system is a 33lb weight savings. How much does just the axel back weigh? Want to understand how much weight can be saved here.

jp1984 · 12-06-2022, 08:01 PM

Is it possible to get a blue print of the muffler internals?

I just want to see if it has a helmholtz chamber or some other method of reducing drone and or the absorption chambers.

I would also like to see this logo.

kk2 · 12-07-2022, 09:55 AM

What’s the difference between the regular stromung and the AE one?

I'd also like to know this. Will AE also be sharing a spec sheet showing dimensions, weight, any performance gains, etc. in advance?

Does OP know if they're still in SoCal and will the exhausts be manufactured in-house down here? If so, I would be interested in picking up locally.

cloumeM · 12-07-2022, 07:37 PM

Opting out as I have SC in future plan and will likely upgrade the entire exhaust system then. Good luck to all participants.

UGADawgFan · 12-07-2022, 11:43 PM

The "louder" worries me.. My old AE had a nice tone but virtually no drone. I have an RPI now and hate how loud and drony it is. Did they give an indication on how loud they were aiming for?
