No I'm not bothering with the reflectors, they don't bother me at all. My car's yellow & they kinda blend in. I see why people do it though. Would be annoying with any other colour, especially blue/black/white. W ///. Yeah I agree, the stock muffler is way heavy, even dinan's rear shaves 20lbs and there are lighter ones out there. I'm not 100% on Gintani's but I think its 25ish. Eisen is basically just as heavy as stock, but sounds BA. Acro slip on saves 14kg acro evo (full exhaust) saves 24kg. also claims +22/+25 which is basically all you'll get with any full system I think. So in my opinion you'd be better off just getting a rear, like you said. Middle is only 10kg, and you're not gonna notice even 24 probably. Much MUCH cheaper to just do test pipes +rear for about +20&22. I plan on using the money saved for suspension & brakes.

Stock rear=60lbs/27kg stock middle=40lbs/19kg These should be legit #s, but would be good to corroborate. I have no idea what OEMw/TP would be, very interested in this.

Forget the Sport, go Race or go home. I almost went with Sport, glad I didn't

If all goes well I should be receiving it in early October. I'll keep you posted around that time. I'm praying my ceramic coated Megan (rear and connecting pipes coated in Jet-Hot 1300 Satin Black) sounds great but if it doesn't I'd want it to go to a good home.

That's right around when I'd have the cash to do it too. That sounds like a great exhaust, and I'd be all over it! I put more money into my car than I do for myself, so it's a good home to be sure :P

Now that I saw the clip you are using as the basis of your argument, you are way off. The clip shows a stock rear with a completely naked x-pipe, no wonder it sounds like crap. Last edited by Koldun; 08-25-2013 at 09:28 PM.. |

This is a nice thread, helps me understand more on our exhaust games. I had iPE F1 catless setup on my E90. It was OMG loud and sounded like a beast. It had bad smell. Unfortunately, I lost torque. I had iPE did a custom job on my x pipe and they said now I have 200 cell cats. The torque improved and the smell stopped. But I am not sure if I have the best design X pipe in E9x M3. What is my X pipe really?
I am thinking to get TP's and a stage 2 tune. Along with my iPE axle back. But I just remember why spend extra money since I have the iPE X pipe sitting there. So probably no TP for me. What do you guys think? Since most of the sound is coming from axle back and the least performance gain from rear axle back, I will install my new iPE axle back since the sound is very good imo. For sure it weights a bit more than Akra but the valve control is a very fine piece.

Yes, I am well-aware, hence the amused/sarcastic emotes.
Whenever a thread pops up about test pipes or pulleys or air intakes or whatever, there will always be someone from EAS with a comment along the lines of "Our customers seem to prefer Macht Schnell!" or "I've tried them all, and Macht Schnell is by far the best!" Even here it was a clever way to name drop the brand in an otherwise very general discussion. Would the M Perf. exhaust sound different if the test pipes were instead from Turner or ACM? At least this instance didn't have the inevitable, "Drop me a PM and we'll hook you up with a set!" Not that I am bad-mouthing their products, far from it! They are indeed top notch and I've bought an MS pulley for my car. I just don't think somewhat duplicitous sales agendas should muddy an otherwise very informative technical discussion. |
