cheapest catback quad exhaust?

cuban335i · 01-01-2010, 03:58 PM

hey guys,
i was wondering what is the cheapest catback quad exhaust for our cars? is it AE? i know remus has quads but it is just the mufflers... are the only ones AE and Eisenmann?

I'm trying to find a way to get my car fully catless but not hack up my oem exhaust and not have it really raspy or have a lot of drone.. (i also don't want to spend ~$2000 for such a mild performance gain)

thanks ahead of time,
Matt

AE is definitely the way to go !!

Stainless steel, catback exhaust with 2.5" piping

yea ideally i'd go with that.. but it is just a little pricey for such a mild performance gain.. i'm wondering if there are any other quad exhausts that are cheaper and are catback..

Get these and buy some quad tips...total will run you about 1000 bucks with new tips and installation!! These look like knock offs of the HKS exhaust, and to me they look nice!!!

what am i risking in terms of quality/reliability with this knock-off type system? gains should be similar to other systems because all they are, are pipes right?

I think so, piping is piping when it comes to the exhaust....Dps are different because of the tight fitment, but with exhaust I feel its totally different.....I just paid 95 bucks for 2 resonators and when I took them out of the box, they look so much better than some parts of my CPE exhaust piping!!!

hmm interesting i might go with that then... did you happen to see how the fitment was on an e92? i'm guessing those are resonators in the back (closest to the downpipes)?

Read the entire thread and see for yourself....Looking at the pics, I really can't tell you how fitment is, but I think the OP that bought it said they fit pretty good...

Meisterschaft also makes a quad for this car although it wouldn't be the cheapest option.
