Anyone using Varex Mufflers?

Hi
I'm still shopping around for a M3, and I stumbled across Varex mufflers with an adjustable bypass flap .. just wondering if anyone uses one and what you think

No I don't have a Xforce Varex muffler but thanks for alerting me to them Dave. They look like a good solution. So I too would love to hear from someone who has one.

I'd also be interested to hear if anyone has fitted a Remus with 4 valve positions of fully closed, 10% open, 50% open and fully open.

I did send an email enquiring if they had a muffler model to suit an e92, their reply was a no, it would have to be a custom fit for a generic muffler .. prob no big deal, just be flanges and mounts ...

I did also ask if the "M" button could be integrated into the system to open the bypass to a set amount ... answer was no again, but it's got me thinking on ways to do it

Have you guys come across or considered this Australian developed and fabricated valved system from M3World?

Universal fit mufflers are never going to sound as good as a properly tuned exhaust SYSTEM. If all you want is more noise, they'll work. But if you like the smoother and refined sound of a catback exhaust, welding universal mufflers to exhuast tubing won't even be close.

Thanks for this suggestion. Yes I've spoken to M3 World about this and their valved muffler might be too loud for what I want to achieve. In fact my car came with a M3 World cat delete x-pipe mid section which I took off because the sound was too thin and raspy. For the complete M3 World system of x-pipe plus valved muffler, they say with the valve closed the sound level is similar to a C63 with the valve open. This might sound great but it's not what I'm trying to achieve for everyday road use.

Returning to the Varex muffler, I've spoken to a couple of exhaust specialists who said they could fit two of them to a E9x M3. However it would be a custom job that they've never done before, so they couldn't guarantee what the sound would be like. One of them suggested Remus would be a better option. I'd be interested to know what a Remus combined with stock mid-section sounds like.
