your not going to have hardly anybody buy a muffler for 3700. most people don't go any higher that 1500 which is supersprint race. the powerloop is less than that and only 2 ppl have it that i know of. as for the comment about 1500 being a joke, 3700 must be a joke. now your going to say it is handmade and has electronic valve system but 3700?

You really have to price it near the 2k mark for anyone even to consider it as an option. The fact that members on the forum are complaining about the price shows how little market you will have with this exhaust priced at 3.7k usd.
I am not bashing the exhaust as i truly believe these exhaust are probably awesome and amazing technology and build quality but its too expensive to have a market practically anywhere. I mean most of Z4m are sold in us and if Zpost doesn't seem to take in the pricing.... good luck trying to make some bussiness...

Its $3000 not $3700 Why do you think it is $3700? People outside EU don't have to pay VAT. A simple Eisenmann muffler does cost about $2500 without valve system. Our system is made of better quality. The valve system alone does cost $1000,- You can have it without valve system for $2000 and always loud as hell if you want like all those race mufflers on the market. If that is an option for you. But $1500 is not possible. If you compare our muffler to the Supersprint you will see that Supersprint should cost about $500 not $1500 that is the difference in quality. |

i was refering to someones reply on euro to dollar. i didn't know that it was 3000 usd. i just took what that guy said. but still 3000 for mufflers. thats nuts. you not going to get anything out of that 3000 other than sound and looks. no performance gains. and i don't car how good the quality is it isn't worth 3000 imo. do you have any dyno's to show for the gains/loss. what is the weight difference. what are the materials made out of. i agree with mikewarlover, if zpost members are buying it how are you going to sell.

It might be a bit steep, but it's not like it's more expensive for no reason. It's more complicated more parts, more design. You're paying a little extra for the ability to control when you're loud enough to deafen little children and avoid the PoPo when you need to. I'll tell you right now it costs a lot more then $500 to put a set of cutouts on an exhaust.

i never said i would expect to get any performance gain off mufflers. i was saying for 3000 in general what performance gains are you getting, not the performance gains from the muffler, but rather what could you get for your money. barely anything if any at all from any muffler. maybe a few hp or maybe a loss. all in all you only getting sound and looks out of any muffler. but for 3000 your not getting a lot for your money. i know the system cost a lot of money to make, and i understand the parts cost a lot of money compared to a regular muffler, and i understand that is high quality; i am just saying a point, 3000 is alot for a set of cans that you gain barely anything from imo. so how you got that idea that i expect a performance gain idk.

I wish I had known they made a muffler before I pursued cutouts.

Out of curiosity, have you cleared the CEL you got from the heater circuit and thrown one since? I am curious since what's his name reported he never got a CEL despite having the headers in, did you have the extended bungs like him as well?

If i really cared about noise levels i would order 2 Varex mufflers from Xforce.
At $AUD390 they are fully electronic and even have a remote control. http://xforce.com.au.tmp.anchor.net.au/cars/view_car/29 Has different types of styles available not a model specific version for a Z4 but to have some mufflers + flanges put on would cost like $100 tops hell even changing the tips to what ever you want would still come out at a 3rd of the price of the KKS system. Especially since the AUD$ is real low these days it would make one of the mufflers about $US200 for you guys and thats just awesome value would be crazy to spend 3gs on the KKS.

Ummm im just pulling this off the website. Cost is around $AUD390 per muffler.
http://xforce.com.au.tmp.anchor.net.au/cars/view_car/29 You have to get pics off their site since they wont let me copy the image locations to post up here. But the muffler comes in different sizes/styles. So it doesnt have to be a canon like in the video they have normal oval and dual out let ect. Quote:
