Edelstahl exhaust

Anyone on here running this exhaust seems reasonably priced and made in Germany too. Any more info on it?

Looking at alternatives

Interesting design. I'm not a fan of those rainbow-burnt tips.

Still, if you like the sound, go for it. Just don't expect the horsepower they claim.

I'd blame the hardware used to record that clip before the exhaust system.

I'm not crazy about the burnt tips either but tips are tips and they could be changed. Seems like most people around here are brainwashed that some pipes should cost you 6k because it's for an m3. I was looking to see if anyone has it and not so much to make an opinion about it without first hand experience. That clip is clearly bad audio

I'm local to the Topspeed guys.. The exhaust sounds like utter rubbish in person, do not buy! My friend bought it for his E92 and he regrets it.

Suckagdog thank you. At least your opinion is somewhat legitimate since you seem to have the closest experience with the exhaust.

There are a few of these same setups floating around Ebay. I don't buy the "made in Germany" as it sounds like it's done for marketing purposes. I would stay away from it just from those horrible bends in the pipes exiting the mufflers alone.

Don't let the fake burn titanium bother you either as you can simply polish it out as it's just for aesthetics

That will def inhibit exhaust flow; although this looks like a amuse replica. I'm sure it sounds like every other re-branded piece and may suit your tastes, but there's def some other options out there that I would explore

Good luck!


edit: see you have an e90 m3; I have a muffler for sale if you check my thread.

No; it appears more of an Amuse (ericcson) copy due to the pipe bends.

Also Megan is an Ap Copy; so it would be a AP rep, and a rep of a rep..

Kinda trippy
