E90post is comical...

[creaminz]

$2k, no drone, mean sounding, overall better performance okay not bad IMO. Any plan for quad tips?

Drone can be reduced or eliminated by using these rubber isolators. Some of the aftermarket exhaust companys use some form of them in their systems.

I would name them...but my post will get deleted, and helpful information will be lost.

interesting. Where are these rubber dampers attached? Midpipes or muffler section? I'd like to see if implement the same "technology" on my bastuck setup. Adding catless downpipes gave me a bit of drone

Chris.

Well then whats stopping you from making it overseas? Making it over seas doesn't necessarily mean its cheap quality. Look at apple products all made over seasons under close watch of apple execs.

If you can put in place the quality controls you can cut costs by making it overseas.

On the 135i it is attached right on the outlet side of the muffler...a few inches back from the tips. Its about half the size of a soda can.

Nice work HPF, so when is the E90 version coming out?

[BrianMN]

HPF needs to remember that it can't drone with catless downpipes too...not sure which DPs they had tested it with. Many people have avoided a bit of drone due to OEM downpipes, but once catless it drones like hell.

C mon man, we need to keep everything we can in the USA, support the country. Outsourcing everything is one of the reasons our country is lacking jobs and quality products.

Ask yourself, do you want to make a lot of noise while gaining 10 whp for $2000? Then consider these. If you daily drive, do you want to hear this day in and day out? I don't. If that 10whp causes me to lose a race, more power to ya!

The best part about this exhaust is that when HPF puts out the single turbo, you will already have the single turbo exhaust.

This here is the beast exhaust we have all been waiting for.... If you want big power, and or plan on going single, get this. Not only is this sick as F, but it's one less thing to get when the kit comes out.

It's like the FMIC, many people said ya too big or unnecessary, but it's not, and when the single kit is out, the FMIC will show why it was designed the way it was.

what about the other 99.99% of potential customers who will stay on stock turbos?

That's true, I might save up for this.

No one doubts this exhaust, it is awesome yes but for mufflerless exhaust with 1 pipe it's overpriced, now half of it would be somewhat decent and I would buy it.

Buy another exhaust I guess. I think its a really quality exhaust.

Chris.

Usually things made in USA are of terrible quality that's why people out source to other countries, it's cheaper ands better.
