Which mod next?

ChrisK · 04-05-2011, 06:55 AM

Here are my choices:

Set of GTS wheels or the Performance exhaust?

I'm leaning towards the exhaust since i'm not 100% sold on black wheels on AW, and I really love my 220M wheels.

What does everyone think (forget the price difference)?

Performance exhaust!

Isn't the Akra Slip-on about $3400?

Are the GTS's available now? Everytime I call inquiring...I get told they can't find a part number, so, "They must not be available yet".

If you want you can stop buy our shop and we have some sound clips from the dyno runs we did with the performance exhaust

Wow, any gains?!

Grail05 · 04-05-2011, 09:58 AM

i would say the exhaust but before you pull the plug do more research i have heard the performance exhaust its practically just a modded oem exhaust.

for a little bit cheaper id take the AKRA... full exhaust are around 5+k and used are around 4+k

slip on the other hand is around 3+k plus it sounds way better than the Performance exhaust.

MonteCarloM3 · 04-05-2011, 10:01 AM

yup, about that price. it's all titanium, finish is impeccable, absolutely stunning to look at and you don't have those big ugly cans hanging off the back end of your car. oh, and it sounds pretty sweet as well.
just my 0.02

On all the runs with a completely bone stock M3 to just the performance muffler on the same car the highest difference was 5hp. Kris has the runs saved on his computer hopefully we will have enough time to post them up soon.

That's a nice surprise. 5hp is probably why BMW hasn't listed any HP increase.

true, but golfrrr/steve thomas's price for the performance exhaust is very competative....

yup, but I think the OP is only talking about a slip on rather than a full 3 section set up...

When I said "Isn't the Akra Slip-on about $3400?", I meant that as comparison to the price of the Performance exhaust.

...they are about the same price.

Brosef · 04-05-2011, 11:34 AM

definitely exhaust. GTS wheels are so bland. black wheels don't do anything for me. 220M's suit the M so well.
