Look for my thread when I installed my catless downpipes. I posted pictures in there.

I was just going to mention this, but was afraid I'd be wrong.

Mine arrived Monday. Getting it installed Friday morning. Visar, did you get yours installed yet?

I actually did I installed it yesterday! It sounds amazing a lot of turbo spool and pops from up shifting, in a push of a button it goes back to the stock exhaust and it sounds like nothing is there

I would love to see some pic's and to hear the differences in sound. Were did you end up placing them ? Do u feel any differences in the butt meter?

Did you also get the low profile oval kit? Are the turndowns needed?

vcnyc_ · 01-02-2014, 01:44 PM

This is how they look, I still have to install the flaps to close the cutouts, and yes I did go with the low profile oval ones

patb23 · 01-02-2014, 02:57 PM

Can't wait to hear how this will sound. Post up some video clips as well once you get everything installed.

I got the low profile oval kit. It's the dual system which includes the "turn-downs" and the wireless remotes. It's being installed tomorrow morning, I'm really looking forward to it because I just had the Active Sound coded out of the car and now it's quieter than our 328i.

Perfect, thanks. Let us know how you like it!

Any thoughts on what an install should cost?

greentrbo95gst · 01-03-2014, 03:37 PM

Great job. Any direct pics from underneath the exhaust?

I honestly love it and drive with them open all the time

greentrbo95gst · 01-03-2014, 03:56 PM

I cant tell from the pic since I am on my cell, but did you order two or only one?
What diameter piping did you go with?

Hey guys I just got my car back and they installed the valves today. I'll post a couple of pictures and possibly a video soon.

I briefly drove it, and I'd say it's a pretty significant sound difference. Mine were placed right before the mufflers, not before the resonators. It sounds just the same as stock with the valves closed, but after a few seconds when they've been opened all the way, the sound gets much louder but stays the same tone. It's a really nice sound difference and there's no drone in the cabin when open or closed.

UnfoundLegend · 01-07-2014, 09:31 PM

Here's 2 quick pictures I took:

Will take a video of it later.

vcnyc_ · 01-07-2014, 09:35 PM

Do you hear a big difference?

greentrbo95gst · 01-07-2014, 09:43 PM

I need to get under the car and figure out if they can be installed somewhere closer to the motor.

UnfoundLegend · 01-08-2014, 04:37 PM

When they're closed there's no sound difference at all. No ticking noise or anything.

The shop I went to said there was no space to install and wire it anywhere other than behind where the mufflers are. They said before the resonator wasn't possible because fitment would be tight and the system would be too low to the ground.
