DKF im happy to help with dyno testing on a euro car with ess vt2-500...... pm me if theirs anything i can do to help the community/you with this....
i wanted the s pipe/ Race cats/ X-pipe/Sport mufflers and Hangers... id love to get this on the car, do some before and After dyno tests and also document fitment and tune issues with the Ess Vt2-500 setup..... i think the setup probably stands to make the most HP gain on my setup :-) Again if can help drop me a line...... my car has just come out of winter hibernation now :-)

im just wondering if MORE sales can bring the cost down a little, its definitely something i can help with, sooooo many UK owners NOT on this forum are looking for type of option BUT with UK owners they WILL not be the first to do things ;-) if would could get that Group buy into much bigger numbers it would be nice to see the price drop alittle :-) if i can get an exhaust system i will run a proper detailed thread from start to finish.... im happy to pay whatever you want.... its an offer you should consider, and if i can drum up numbers my side we could all benefit from a lower unit cost and you make more money..... win win.....

I feel bad that my car is down, the timing could not be worse for your project . Even though it's not my doing I appologize and will do what I can to get the car back on-line ASAP. Until then I will update with videos and photos of final fitment Quote:
DKF designed this system with F/I in mind. I think you are right, your car would be a perfect fit for testing. I wish we were neighbors. I would have you come to my garage and help you install the system today so we could finally see some F/I numbers. Your car has just come out of hibernation, while my just sits in the garage hiding from perfectly good weather Take a good long extra drive for me man, I sure wish I could

arhhhhh chris if we were neighbours, our families would never see us or the cars...... my car would be over in your garage trailing fitments right NOW!!!! lol
it seems were aiming this setup at just one market..... such a shame considering the blatant quality and work thats gone into it... i was hoping do basically do what your doing but on the uk side of things, again im a well known member who pretty much has ALL the mods on the car usually before anyone else.... im pretty much the uk test pilot for most things.... again the main aim was to drive down the price further with more sales, wider audience and get the price down for everyone and get DKF the return he rightly deserves imo..... i know for a FACT if i could get a system over here, document install, weight in parts like you have, run some dynos i could move quite afew of these sytems.... im not asking for any favours at all and all costs for my time/ dyno / and general would be gladly swallowed, if i can get a cheaper GB price for us ALL including myself, im down......

Theory Explained
Guys here is a simple explanation of the exhaust theory that I used to create this system.
S-Pipe The S-Pipe is basically designed to work as an extension of the headers, while optimizing flow and velocity with the least amount of constriction. The coating and step are both used to achieve this process. The tabs are used to bridge resonance which reduces unwanted rasp. X Pipe The X-Pipe uses the same principle as the S-Pipe for performance, with the addition of minimized bends to diminish constriction. The crossover area’s main purpose is sound equalization. (The S54 engine doesn’t benefit from crossover scavenging in it’s current location). Bypass Area Resonators Street V1 is used to optimize the sound while Street V2, Sport V1 and V2 are used to achieve a balance between sound and performance. Straight Pipe Race V1 and V2 are used strictly for performance applications or when extreme annoyance to neighbors is desired. Cats CTS 300 is used in the attempt to relocate secondary O2 sensors without causing a CEL. CTL 100 is used to maximize performance when a catalytic converter is required. Also is good to mention that this system was designed to achieve its maximum capacity using open flow headers. |

Guys I have confidence that the power that this exhaust makes is good and I know for fact that it sounds great, that said I'm going to start posting in our website prices for the system, GB may not be the way to go, but for those that want to pay the price for a system that is built from the ground up we will start accepting orders by end of the month, hangers are already on the website and they are ready to go for those that want to have better sound and adjustability.
Also by next week we will have other things on the website that were under development this last year. |

yes.. DKF came up with the exhaust and many people complained about the price, the exhaust was imo exactly what we needed for the z4m community and the quality looked pretty awesome.....
DKF went to the drawing board to try and reduce costs, sadly weve been at that point for months and months...... im REALLY sad to say, i dont think this will happen now, but doug is tring his hardest and has had a really tough road with this.... top man for sure. DKF are great people, great designs and with true morals if things go wrong.... i for one am very disappointed my car doesn't have the DKf setup....At this point im going to leave my exhaust alone.... cant be bothered with it now!!

Thanks man. It's good to be back. Things got hectic after I bought a home, started a new job, and got engaged in a short period of time. But i'm back into the car scene and looking for a jeep srt8 for a second vehicle.
