Besides, both gf366 and I hated the new figure "8" look of the ACS exhaust tip. :thumbsdown: I prefer the old oval tip.[snapback]181972[/snapback]
[/quote]Or better yet just buy the oval style exhaust tip and fit it over your stock pipe, no one will notice, than you save more money. Let's see if that will work.

But I brought this book and they have the picture of the Remus pipe but it doesn't look much different from the stock pipe.? Maybe that's why they are charging $5000 for it.

[/quote]AC Schnitzer's mufflers are made by Remus, or at least used to. Supersprint makes/made Hamann's exhausts.

[/quote]Perfectly correct! That's y I'd though Remus is a good alternative for ACS, if one don't want to spend as much!

Oh !? Thx for the info alpineweiss, I didn't know that.? ACS's authorized distributor in HK is BMWHK.? So it is better to mod with ACS parts because BMWHK will provide warranty for the work along with the original BMW warranties.? The downside is their high price tags because well, it is BMWHK.... 
[snapback]181952[/snapback]
So, I don't put "void my warranty" under my mod list anymore...
ACS is always one of the best choice for Bimmer's mods, if there's just too much "spare changes" in your pockets!

[snapback]181809[/snapback]
You said your tints is 20% so does that mean the visibility is 80%?
[snapback]181968[/snapback]
[/quote]Not sure how its rated in HK but here.. 20% means only 20% of light can pass through that film and into the car... meaning 80% of it is blocked out... thats why its so dark.

in HK at least 75% of light need to pass through, no wonder you seems so dark.
