Active AutoWerkes Exhaust installed
For some of you Im sure, without m sport line for our cars basically you're screwed for modifications. So I couldn't deal with that. I have installed an active auto exhaust(axleback) on my non-msport 228. It was originally for the f30 328 but has been retrofitted.The installation was not difficult, there was only 1 modification, which was to have the pipe between the muffler and tips cut about 3 inches to fit snug up against the bumper. No movement of hangers. The overall reaction i had was right at my expectations. The tips are larger, and compliment the car very well. The sound of course, is great. Cold start is a tad on the loud side. Although it's subtle for daily driving, when you open it up, the tone is very pleasing. There's upshift sounds, small backfires when downshifting, miminal drone. This exhuast is pretty much everything I hoped it would be. I have a few pictures while spending my life savings at IKEA.

I was planning on purchasing the exhaust from Extremepowerhouse, but the guy who does all of my work on my car was able to get it at a good discounted price from active auto directly which actually was the cheaper approach.

A catback exhaust is an exhaust that begins at the end of your catalytic converter and goes all the way back to your rear bumper.
An axleback starts from the area of the rear axles back to your rear bumper.

So for whatever reason when I attempt to post the video(off my iPhone) to the website I get this. Unless I'm doing it wrong, I'll upload the videos anyway to my computer soon then go from there.

Very nice. I like the tone. What are the stats on your wheels too? Can you PM me on where you got the exhaust?

Sure thing man, but just so you know I had ordered the exhaust through the guy who does all the work on my car. So I couldn't tell you 100% where it was actually ordered from, but my best guess is through active auto directly since he buys from wholesale vendors or something like that. Again not sure. But I'll pm you.
