With a jack or with ramps or what?

ramps. they give you plenty of room to work in the muffler area. just make sure you put stoppers in front of the front wheels as a safety precaution

It has been two weeks since the call and haven't seen a charge to my credit card yet. Wonder what's going on? Anyone receive theirs yet or have the credit card charged?

Scott told me first week of July, we should start hearing something very soon.

155MPH · 07-01-2008, 10:42 AM

Hi all, I just talked to Scott and he said he is shipping my exhaust by Thurs. this week. He is just waiting for the special boxes arrive for shipping. Should have them here by Thurs next week.

Not gonna happen for me. If I can't tell the difference by driving it is not important to me. I would be willing to bet that for the way I use the car I will notice no difference.

azndavid85 · 07-02-2008, 12:38 AM

I am still waiting Scott's phone call to pick up the muffler!!!Anyone one in the area who is going to pick it up from the shop??

Hi,
I went to Stromung exhaust to pick up our GB for my car yesterday and went to a very experience muffler shop to install the exhaust for me. after the installation, it seems like the right muffler have some fitment problem, it is not hanging in the center bewteen the bumper hole. The guy have tried adjusting the hangers and re-tight the screw again, but still doesnt fix the problem. Do you guys think itz fitment problem or the guy who install's problem?

here are some picture...

Left Muffler

Right Muffler

In general, they look like they are hanging way too low! They need to be closer to the bumper i would think. I hope this isnt a design issue.

Palantirion · 07-10-2008, 04:16 PM

Both tips are a little on the small side. Both mufflers hang too low. The right muffler is obviously off-center. Most likely the problems are due to the prototyping/jigging process (they BETTER be jigged!), but it's not impossible that it could be due to installation imperfection. Making exhaust that really fits the Z4 M perfectly is very difficult, as I've tried to explain before. Installation is tricky too.

p.s. They should really clean up the discoloration on the welds too. Or polish them like BMS does:

sales@ESSTuning · 07-10-2008, 05:36 PM

That fitment looks really bad. My supersprint I had to adjust a bit to get it right but the adjustments were there. I hope thats not a design flaw

M2audioman · 07-10-2008, 05:53 PM

Interestingly enough, the original poster "Zeddy4Me" has not posted on the forums in a month. I wonder what happened there? He was the one keeping people in the loop in the beginning, but then the customer service became non-existent...

I'm glad i pulled out of this one. Bad fitment or not, these signs and developments don't look promising....

Obviously, I hope i'm very wrong about this and everyone will be happy with the product.

Me too. I am currently saving up for the BMS exhaust as it is the best one I have seen so far.

Matjo · 07-10-2008, 07:23 PM

Is there any soundclip on the BMS exhaust?
