Our exhaust have been tested with 600hp+ vehicles. The trackpipe and the header are 3in wide at the collector. Before and after the collector the gases are spread out through different pipes.

To get the most out of a high boosting car I would recommend to get the race exhaust with its 3in diameter throughout. We should be getting a few more of those in 3 weeks. You can marry the race exhaust with the section A of the track pipe or with a custom downpipe.

Bring that price down on the Gen III to a more competitive level and I'll think about it.

One of the better sounding exhausts for the E36 IMHO.

Quick question, which AA exhaust do I have?



Previous owner put it on, it looks almost like the Gen 3 but the tips are thicker. They have the AA logo on the tips, looks like a "A(picture of a turbo)A."


Sorry for the thread derail but it sounds great and I've always wondered what it was, if it is indeed the Gen 3 I would recommend it to everyone

Sure thing Roland, PM sent.

Chazwick05, M3amazesme, and Dricebrug; thanks for awesome compliments guys. Do you guys have any sound clips of your cars with our exhaust by any chance to show some of the people who have never heard it?

I might just dig up some old threads to find links, but if you have some let me know. THANKS!

Sherwin,

Do you ever have a clearance event on these Gen III units or would you be able to offer us a discount? Definitely a modification that I would consider if you could sweeten the deal.

Thanks

I think the Gen of your AA exhaust is the least of problems... and problems I don't mean problems...

$795 for a catback?? seriously? no offense but thats price is way high for what you get.. its a catback... not a full exhaust... just because its a BMW doesnt mean it needs to be expensive.. i did my entire LS1 camaro exhaust with stainless long tubes,midpipe and a full 3.5" magnaflow system for $50 less... good grief.



but it does sound good.. i'll give it that...and i love the tips.

I have one from the PO, I think the tips have changed a bit, mine don't have the boost symbol on the top, instead its the AA Tuning with the Piston between the A's. Double walled, the outside always looks great, and the inside has a nice gradual bluing as you get further inside...I keep it very polished. Deep down low, alien scream up high. Love it....

Hey Hein, give us a call or PM us if you want some sweetener.

Hetzle I think that backdrop has prevented us from answering that question. We can't see your tips but we can see what is on the lift.

Ohh yea nice Saleen LOL

Sorta off topic but it may sell AA a race exhaust. I have euro SS headers and about to do a whole euro set up but might go this route if this works. does anybody know if an AA race will mate up to these headers using BimmerWorlds S54 conversion pipes here./

Thanks
