New exhaust decision - United Bimmer Community

**Rooz** · 09-02-2005, 02:29 PM

Ok, here is what's going on.

There was some confusion on the cams, so I have the choice of getting an AA Exhaust with track pipes and O2 simulator for ~1k

OR

Still go with the Eisenmann exhaust for ~$940

What do ya think?

I vote AA with track pipe. I love mine.

**jrhaile** · 09-02-2005, 08:21 PM

AA setup will give you the best HP performance...

**94bmw325i** · 09-02-2005, 08:42 PM

Does that sound like a good deal?

AA Gen3 Exhaust
Stainless steal track pipes
02 simulators

all for a little over ~1k

The cheapest I found somewhere else at GB price was $1268....

How did the track pipes make the sound of the of the exhaust change, I mean, I know it will be louder, but I also hear it makes it rumble more at idle.... any feedback on this would be apreciated

Here is some feedback I got about AA from a diff forum:

Amen. You could probably start a long thread with just about them exculusively. Parts breaking and shit, not reliable, I have heard pain in the ass stories about AA turning their backs on customers after products broke. Look around in the vender feedback section. I would just be worried about replacements if things from them break. Most companies if your paying upwards of $600 have decent warrenties and decent products concerning reliablility.

Have you guys heard about this stuff from AA??

**komodo** · 09-03-2005, 10:30 PM

I surf a good number forums and read almost only good reviews of AA....

**B_w.** · 09-03-2005, 10:34 PM

aa is often considered to be top notch. i only hear bitching about how expensive their turbo kits are.

**Rooz** · 09-03-2005, 11:04 PM

For those of you who have gotten an aftermarket exhaust installed, how much did ya pay.

Specially you komodo since you got track pipes installed too...

**komodo** · 09-03-2005, 11:56 PM

How much did I pay? I think it was like 7-something shipped.

My track pipe I bought off a guy who works at the local stealership for $100 cash.... however I went home that night and checked online and found that exact same one (Borla Off-Road X-Pipe) went for between $400 and up to $700.

As for sound, it's a bit louder, as expected. No downsides except a slight smell when standing outside the car when it's on, but you get used to that in a day or two (no smell inside).

I'd go with the Eisenmann exhaust. That quad exhaust is rather nice. Too bad you can't get it with DTM on both sides.
