-You're right, we should. I'll answer the two previous posts' questions and then I'm done here. Please address future questions on the BMS thread.

-Better sound, better power, better looks. Probably better build quality, and more accurate fitment.

-Yes. The tips are VERY hard and time consuming to align perfectly and the x-pipe was also very difficult to design to fit the confines of the car's space without vibration, rattle or restricting the exhaust flow. There's only a couple hundred bucks of stainless in the kit (and it's all VERY high quality), the vast majority of the cost is labor.

-It's not Magnaflow exhaust, they passed on the project because of the low sales volume. So we had "our guy" design the BMS system. It was our choice to use Magnaflow (and a lot of scratch built) components, and they were chosen for their high quality. He's asked me to withhold the shop's name because he has to much on his plate right now, but as to his expertise he designed the world's only carb-approved E36 M3 header and it's pulling a real 20hp out of a 240hp motor. He has been BMS's exhaust builder for years, making systems for their club racers, which have won national championships in multiple classes and years.
p.s. I don't mind the skepticism, I'm exactly the same way when new products come to market

(Rip off) i guess now im deciding between the BMS or Supersprint mufflers. THANX

-It's very easy to throw an "ok" exhaust together that sounds louder than stock. It's a totally different process to design a system tuned for a specific application and engineered to fit perfectly.
