Wife might regret me buying this car. She thought a M3 was going to be a money bucket this one might just be for mod reasons haha.

One M3 mod cost double the ISF. Don't worry. Also you'll save on maintenance costs. :P

Surprisingly due to the market saturation a lot of stuff is pretty cheap. Stuff like carbon bits are half as much as these Toms and Wald stuff

**** man you can have one of the best exhaust notes by cutting open the stock muffler and cutting two perforated pipes out lol. Suspension mods are about the same. Power adders aside from headers look to be about the same as well. But I commute 70 miles stress free in the F. Can't say the same bout an E92 until the rod bearings were done haha.

Enough side talk, need moar videos!!!

I was thinking of the higher end stuff available for the car. JRZ coils, HRE wheels, 3D Design, Akrapovic exhaust, etc. :P

Are those the tips in bubble wrap? Did you use the faux tips or the supplied ones? Hard to tell, which is impressive if they are on haha.

Doubtful, H&S have been fabricating exhausts for decades mate. These guys custom build systems for cars that cost five times more than my house!

Probably just Josh's crappy camera skills! Lol.

Good & Bad news..

Good.. Working on a current exhaust video with some fly bys and revs.

Bad.. Production is expected to take about 4 weeks..

I'm trying to get them to ship me at least 3 exhausts before the Mega meet..

Good luck , Josh. This is some amazing stuff. I am drooling over this system . The guys who are still bone stock are lucky that they have this as an option.

Yes, hoping one of the buyers doesn't have headers so I can hear what it would sound like for me. Despite what Josh says I feel like I'm guaranteed to get a HOA letter if I did headers + H&E. lol

Yeah, two local customers don't have headers yet.
