gf366 said the Remus tailpipe cost $5000 right?? 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.

I see Remus' mostly on VWs. That's why Im surprised they make one for the E60. Remus pipes are usually quite loud, if I remember right. It'll be nice if somehow we can find a sound clip. So far I have heard only the Eisenmann, which sounded really good.

I don't think the pipe adds much hp, just the sound so that's why they are charging $5000 for the pipe and is the shop smart auto tuning in Fo Tan that carry these stuff.

gf366 is that the shop you know well?

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

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....

You misunderstand me, when I said the front I meant the windshield.

You said your tints is 20% so does that mean the visibility is 80%?

Good idea wor !! haha, and I'll be saving $7k since BMWHK told me the price for the ACS exhaust is aruond $12k Besides, both gf366 and I hated the new figure "8" look of the ACS exhaust tip. :thumbsdown: I prefer the old oval tip.
