228i Exhaust Option - ARK Performance GRiP

I got a glimpse of their 328i production exhaust system and it sounds AMAZING in person. Really low, deep, aggressive tone.

Contact them and let them know you're interested! Would love to see a 228-specific system come into production
FULL CATBACK

Nice! Yeah they told me another 2er came in to pick up just the tips.

Let's gather some interest for the full catback!

I see you have a ton of engine mods and your car must sound nothing like stock, but the OP is referring to a custom catback system, not necessarily a muffler delete and some tips. I'm assuming there must be considerable drone? But please correct me if I'm wrong.

I got a glimpse of their 328i production exhaust system and it sounds AMAZING in person. Really low, deep, aggressive tone. If their 228i system is anything like the 328i, it should be an awesome product.

I would love to be able to hear the actual unit you are talking about once it is out of R&D and on your car. There are virtually zero exhaust systems for the 228i and I want to make sure I get one that is really top-notch with no drone. Please post a video when you get it installed! I would be interested in buying it if they mass produce it, but you know...I gotta hear it first.

Sounds nice!
A little too quiet for my taste though.
I'm curious to see how this would sound with a c@tless down pipe
