I'm going with Armytrix this spring, also considering getting the catless dp as well. I haven't heard the iPE yet on M235i, so as of now, Armytrix is the way to go!

You're going to love having a catless DP the sound is phenomenal. Can't say anything out the exhaust systems though as I'm still stock lol

Ok so there was a short video clip on Instagram of the iPE for the M235i that I saw today. After watching that, I am still leaning towards Armytrix. They don't sound too different, but my taste falls more with Armytrix. I don't know what it is though. Maybe it's because the looks are sharper. They both have a valvetronic system, that is controlled via remote control. But In the end im still with Armytrix!

You don't have to get the burned chrome tips with Armytrix. Those come standard with their exhaust system. They offer other tip style options as well (matte black, and regular chrome w/out the burned ends).

Back when I emailed Armytrix, they quoted me the full Armytrix F1 Exhaust plus the Catless DP w/ cat simulator for a total of $3033 w/ a direct bank deposit. I don't know for sure if that has shipping included because I have not ordered the system yet and still will need to get that info, but I am assuming shipping will be added on to that price...

I asked them several days ago. I asked for downpipe. The MSVP is $590 and the shipping fee is $560 cannot image the shipping fee of the full system

Shipping is so high because that's for the air freight alternative! The system is unavailable until April or may because of the issue at the ports.

You try considering GTHAUS? I have their Catless DP installed and just ordered the Super GT,2x102mm tip with optional AR pipe. Hope you enjoy!

I installed the Eisenmann race exhaust with sound pipe (non-resonated). Here's a link to my review of it.
http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1109399

And here's a link to the clip. I think the eisenmann has more bass tone than the armytrix or iPE IMO.
