Hello again my Z4M Coupe/Roadster friends..FI axle-back exhaust coming soon!!

Sia Bani · 04-22-2008, 10:46 PM

Joe (Burt Reynolds aka JT aka JayT), Arash and I have been talking with Danny & Tony at Fast Intentions to have one of our cars in the jig and setup a groupbuy of the exhaust, that fits most of our needs.

Most of us want a little more grunt without spending $1800 for a catback that doesn't improve power over the clean BMW mid-section. FI themselves say they can't improve BMW's mid-pipe flow, but can add a bit of grunt (and hopefully power) with an axle back (flange, pipe, and muffler swap) setup, at half the competitors' price. If you want power, hi-flow cats are the way to go...

Anyway, given there's been interest, and a lot of us have leased the car with fantastic 2007 deals, we want something that's easy to swap back to stock (for me in 1.5 years), with a mellow & deep sound, and cheaper than the competition but with the same high quality materials for which FI is known.

I just spoke with Danny, and we're going to do it. Arash will leave his car for the jig, and Joe and I are going to push the group buy (on http://bmwgroupbuy.com) for a fantastic deal, and in production ASAP.

Please stay tuned...

Can't wait for the sound clips. Will buy if the price is right, the sound is deep and growly and it doesn't require any modifications from stock set up.

Sia Bani · 04-23-2008, 06:23 PM

Just for the heck of it...I may do a before and after dyno, same day as install....

kav · 04-23-2008, 06:26 PM

having some kind of before and after dyno on a z4m trusted member is likely the only way I'd buy this, and I really do want to buy this.

Sia Bani · 04-23-2008, 09:05 PM

Hopefully i'll be a "trusted member" by then

, but in all honesty...we're not going to have much power gain with these I don't think...we'll see.

Hello again...

Arash dropped by FI this afternoon and they've come to an agreement on everything! He will hopefully have the car dropped off there next week.

More updates soon!

Burt Reynolds · 04-29-2008, 09:33 AM

Sounds good! Thanks again Arash. Sia what are you getting for a dyno rate before/after? I may do the same here in Chicago...

Sia Bani · 04-29-2008, 09:36 AM

What? You mean what type of dyno?

not sure yet, it's at 034motorsport.

Burt Reynolds · 04-29-2008, 09:55 AM

Sorry- I mean how much are you paying for the dyno(rate$)?

Sia Bani · 04-30-2008, 12:41 AM

Normal rate is around $100 per hour.

Sia Bani · 04-30-2008, 11:48 AM

Ya, just about. If you setup a group dyno session, closer to $70 (at least at harman motiv in LA)
