to the forum!!

What model have you got?? And nice exhaust as well, how much did you pay for??
I got a Sebring exhaust for my E60, sounds nice but too loud for a quiet saloon in my opinion.

I dun think the ACS tips can fit in your arqray exhaust...cos urs look BIG...

Hope you enjoy the forum!!

Cheers
Keith
Hi Keith,

great thread! wish I had bought my beemer earlier.
I have a 2007 523i A, Titanium silver with black leather and black vertical stripe wood, also have silver 18' AC Type 4 racing alloys, also AC rear glass spoiler.
Exhaust cost 5900+500 fitting (it takes abt 1hour).

How does the sebring compare, droney or screaming?any power increases?
Has anyone lowered using eibach springs?

HiPinguhk, appreciate the contribution you have done to the forum,
yep have fitted an Arqray from Super Gt, you can see the photos.
It sounds like V8 1-2000, then a rumble 2000-3800 and deep scream 3800r+
I fitted a K&N panel as well.
Power gains - don't know, sounds fast and very aggressive, but the movement from 3000-6000 is much quicker than before.

I might add the AC Tips, they are expensive at 1680 though, and as my arqray is 70mm+ don't know if it will fit,
are you AC alloys, original?
the acs tip will not fit itis too big.
my rims are rep, I only get rep so that I can change then every 2 years light getting new cloths for my self evey month.
get 3 set of rep = 1 set of OEM and I`m planing to drive the car for 4 more years so 2 more set to change . they are so cheep now days.

actually the Arqray is only slightly bigger, I'm getting a dent sorted and will ask BMW to try to fit it, if not
then will let it go.

Mine (ac rims) are also reps, did you have to use the alu spacer for the wheels? what size are they and what tyres did you put on?

Also have a radar detector as only have 7 points left!!! which means I can't buy a fast car for another 2 years.

Hey I also used to live in Kent, what abt you guys?

I have seen this, when I got my car I was planing to qued pipes but in the end I just put on the tip.
I will get qued pipe on my next F10 BM in 6 to 7 years time
