^great deal!!!

FWIW, I have AFe mid section (down pipe & Xpipe) on my E92 M3.
The build quality and fitment is excellent. Welds are absolutely beautiful.

With the physical size of the rear cans, I would guess that these are louder than Stromung & quieter than RPI. (could be perfect)
Tone.......? would love to hear when a vid gets posted.

I have the SS xpipe and mufflers and price was not even close. If I still had stock exhaust I would give it a try.
I had couple customers get this exhaust already, im hoping they will post videos soon
Good. Having owned 6 different cat backs, and coordinating two "Exhaust Fests" where we compared pretty much everything on the market, it's clear there's a huge difference in sound across systems. High, exotic, muscle car rumble, all very different. And the amount of drone from 2,600 to 3,400 RPM is enormous. Some it's non-existent, some it's minor, some it's huge

I'll also say thanks and kudos from bringing a combined cat back / x-pipe model to market. Almost everything sounds better w/o the stock x-pipe... It's also really great to see a *new* product after so many years

We really need a video and some feedback regarding noise and drone. I would love to ditch my RE Xpipe.

Uh from what I recall the RE x pipe is the best x pipe to buy that's available in terms of sound/power. May want to rethink that unless the sound is too loud

RE X pipe is good, but does have a fitment issue that the other don't have, if you have enough slack in your pipes, then its not a drama, if you don't...

I love mine though... completely love it!! Cue the old rice bubble commercial...

That may be true on earlier production, but I believed RE had corrected it. I didn't have any fitment issue with mine (bought it last summer). Only issue I had was installer related.

Fitment!

Big time - the piping interferes with the bracing of the Z and on top of that one side is about 1/2" shorter than the other. Had to extend mine and modify my bracing.

I have a few of RE products and it seems like it's a hit and a miss.

Some say their x pipe fits good some don't. It turns I am one of the later.

If they fixed it then good. But if you end up buying hold them accountable if one of the issues I describes occurs. I bought mine used but someone mentioned it was hit and miss - some were good some were bad.

Love the sound though. No doubt about that.

That's understandable. Fitment was my biggest concern when I decided to pull the trigger on one last summer. Fortunately, it fitted perfectly - cleared all braces and both sides lined up perfectly.
