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.

[/quote]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?

[/quote]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....

Besides, both gf366 and I hated the new figure "8" look of the ACS exhaust tip. :thumbsdown: I prefer the old oval tip.
