Good luck! Wonder how the x-pipe will work for us.

I for once would like to have a quiet exhaust which becomes louder at a flip of a switch or WOT ala 997 Sport Exhaust or Ferrari. Also droning is a big concern for me.

Dude! You bought a Z4MR?!

FerRrari · 09-11-2010, 11:50 PM

Well, not yet, I'll be picking it up on Tuesday!

Z4-VILLA · 09-12-2010, 11:22 AM

really looking foward to the headers.....

Diokaef · 09-13-2010, 06:47 PM

so I started taking the car parts off today to do a test fit, and i found that i have a brake fluid leak, so i hope this don't delay much my plans. It's nice to see things coming along tho.

Thisisdudewhoru · 09-13-2010, 10:48 PM

I think you should do muffler delete pipes

Diokaef · 09-13-2010, 11:20 PM

The mufflers that I'm using (built) will make power since it uses a process to extract more gazes then a straight pipe of same diameter.

Diokaef · 09-14-2010, 01:12 AM

I decided that I will sell the prototype at a very good price after I have my system manufactured (reproduced), it should loose probably about 3-4 HP from the final production but still a good improvement over stock.

Can't wait to see them!

Z4MHawk · 09-15-2010, 01:02 PM

I am very interested. Are you still looking for another volunteer? I would like to participate...and I have a ESS Stage 1 supercharger installed. I like the fact that you have options to offer the various segments to attach to the OEM system. It the hp gain is what you expect I would consider the header back prototype. Otherwise, I am a little leery of anything but a Cat back system.

Diokaef · 09-15-2010, 01:18 PM

About volunteers, we got plenty of people that want to do it, but would be nice to have another one that already got the stage 1 installed so I will see with my partner about that, when you say header back prototype you mean including the headers? ^

Diokaef · 09-15-2010, 01:26 PM

The Headers and section 1 will work with the OE with no problem, but the mufflers will only work with our section 2 unless you modify your section 2, our section 2 will work with the OE section 1 but will not work with any mufflers out there w/o modify the section 2 flanges.

Diokaef · 09-15-2010, 01:28 PM

We are going to be reserved about what we really expect out of our system, but one thing for sure will be that we will definitely make more then others out there.

Diokaef · 09-17-2010, 08:24 PM

They are not done yet but already give you an idea.

I will try to post pictures of the mufflers with tips (will not be done yet) by next Wednesday (will still missing the Ceramic coat.)

Diokaef · 09-17-2010, 08:26 PM

I'm in San Francisco now and that pictures were sent to me by my business partner so they were just from the phone, I will take good pictures of it on Wednesday.

Diokaef · 09-17-2010, 08:30 PM

(remember this were phone pictures, I'm out of town) not done yet

Diokaef · 09-18-2010, 11:42 AM

Please don't worry about the license plate, that is the paper one that they give you when you get a new car, they are expired so I use them sometimes when I want to go a litle faster then normal. Usually they don't mess with people with them since does not pull a record on the popo system.
