Review: FOX exhaust on my E92 335i

Robmaster · 08-26-2009, 03:37 PM

Today my new FOX exhaust (just axle back, all other is illegal here in Swiss) arrived!
I installed it this evening.

Here my short review:

Quality: the welds are good, the complete exhaust is made with INOX, also the clamps. the tips are very nice, quality A++

Fitment: it fits really good! the tips are adjustable, i weld it on to fit it, I dont want fix it with the clamps, that looks ugly.

Sound: i just drive about 5-6 miles with it, so it's not broken in. BUT in the low rpm it's louder than stock and this thing sounds really deep and have a lot of popping when you go off the gas pedal. at the higer rpms it's not really louder than stock, but i think it must broken in first.

i'm really happy with the exhaust

i just hope it gets louder at the higher RPMs when it's broken in.

i make a video soon. and after it's broken in, i make another review and a new viedeo.

here some first pics:

Video:

the quality of the Video isn't the best, because i just have a normal digicam for movies...

i have just ca. 300miles on the exhaust, so it isn't broken in.

by the way: i have now some rattling issus at the rear center console. can anyone tell me where i must put in the tennis balls?

is there a DIY with pics???

Wow, the tips look huge!

skitlz · 08-27-2009, 12:50 AM

looks like 4 inchers.. thats what i have on mine

it fits the cut out nicely..

kinda wish i would have went with something a little bigger:P

nice looking exhaust there. cant wait for sound clips. (although i dont plan on buying it, since i went the delete route,, but i just love hearing the different sounds of our car)

wow, 1000-2000 miles?! I just got one installed too and wasn't expecting to wait that long... better start driving

Robmaster · 08-27-2009, 04:11 AM

i heard Eisenmann says their exhaust needs about 2000miles to full broken in...

Craig@SupremePower · 08-27-2009, 09:19 AM

looks good..

blisstik · 08-27-2009, 10:30 AM

Any power gains with just the exhaust? Or is this just for looks and sound? I like that its tucked in for those who are dumped to the ground.

Shurge · 08-27-2009, 12:31 PM

let's see some vids!

i dont think that any axle back exhausts brings some power gains. so for me it's just for sound/look.

i make a video this weekend. but dont forget, it isn't broken in.

Robmaster · 08-31-2009, 12:00 PM

Robmaster · 09-01-2009, 01:16 AM
