REVIEW- Best bang for your BUCK! Circuit Werkz Stainless Exhaust!
Ok so I thought i would take the time to write a detailed review of the the Circuit Werkz exhaust I purchased on ebay. After owning many different exhaust systems on my E46 M3, i knew that i could trust a cheap system potentially to do the same as you who spend $1800 for the same thing..
I was skeptical, but you know what, with a hassle free return policy, i figured why not go for it and try it out… Here are a few things to point out! So first things first. It was $535 shipped, full stainless system, quality welds looked amazing coming out of the box, just as my $1500 dollar Gruppe M did for my M3 back in the day.. Fitment--- Was perfect, spot on, came with all new gaskets and hardware, including down pipe bolts (if you have aftermarket) Stock you reuse the studs w/nuts. Fits perfect in the rear, has a nice crossmember that ties the rear 2 mufflers perfect in the middle. ----Finish, i opted for the 4 inch Burnt tips. Ran a HKS on my 350Z, and an Agency power on my M3. And really liked this "race"ish look! They at first glance do look big but the Cyba tips are 4 inch as well that many run on the forum.. ---Sound, is awesome, I am still on stock downpipes. But this exhaust system removed the secondary cats, and the silly exhaust flapper, which i had programmed to stay open via JB4… Its a nice deep growl, i will update when i install my 3 inch downpipes and FMIC this weekend with new clips. I was only able to make a quick video on my iPhone, but will make many more of fly by's and driving in and out of car. But it sounds just as good as my buddies AA exhaust, and another with ETS.. It has no rattles, and fit onto the stock hangers, and supports just as the factory units did. It was def a quality built product. The mufflers look great when riding behind the vehicle as well. I can feel a slight difference in performance also, but wasn't expecting much but maybe 5-10hp. Overall i'd strongly recommend you get out of your lalaland and save a thousand bucks, (or send it to my paypal) LOL and try it out! Or don't, just want to at least leave my 2 cents because I'm really happy with it all. And it comes with a 1YR full warranty against cracks and defects.. Heres just a few photos, really wish i would've taken more… Thanks for looking, and here is the link for anyone that may want to buy one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-335i-E90...253ad8&vxp=mtr All I did was just hit "best offer" for $535 and it was accepted. NEW VIDEO: And the quick video of revving to 4-4.5kRPM CLICK ON PIC TO VIEW VIDEO!

Ill also say check out the M2/ Top Speed exhaust, from Ebay or Amazon. I've been running that exhaust over a year and so far no problems or an signs of rust or anything of that nature.

I watched the video they had on ebay as well and it sounded pretty good for the price. 4" burnt tips are a little much for me but that's just nitpicking. Good review.

Yea thats what i thought, being sold under a different company. But you know what kills me is that a company boughtr like 100 of these systems, welded on a badge of some made up company and is selling them on EBAY for $1750... And over 10 people have bought them, such fuckin robbery. Cant believe people.

Just goes to show how screwed we all get on massive markups for parts. I'm sure there's still a very healthy profit margin (several hundred) at the $500 price point.
