Milltek fitted yesterday! Took a couple of pics and a wee vid. The camera is crap so doesn't really do the tone of the exhaust note justice I'm afraid. Decided to take some interior and engine bay shots as well, becuase folk asked me for that last time. Hope you like the pics! Cheers Daz

Cheers! I love it, and the note is growing on me, thought it was a bit quiet at first. But it suites the car. Was half hoping for a muscle car note, but it would not have suited the car. Chekpoint complimented me on my no swirls on the paintwork, been extra careful not to damage it since it was new. That Meguiars stuff is great. ------------- http://smg.photobucket.com/user/silverbeastie/media/Milltek/Sig.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"> 2009 E92 M3 - Milltek |

I called my pals at Grasicks first, and no impact on the warranty, unless I am trying to make an exhaust claim of course. You thinking about one to mate? They do look and sound the nuts. ------------- http://smg.photobucket.com/user/silverbeastie/media/Milltek/Sig.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"> 2009 E92 M3 - Milltek |

Looks good Daz, haven't listened to the sound clip though as it can never be the same as real life, so will hear it some time though  ------------- E39 530i Sport Aegean Blue Edition Saab 9-5T SE Estate E36 318i loon...sold E36 323i coupe...sold |

Actually, it did eventually tip, I editted the video clip. It finished with me running and picking the camera up. ------------- http://smg.photobucket.com/user/silverbeastie/media/Milltek/Sig.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"> 2009 E92 M3 - Milltek |

I'd have left it in, perhaps worthy of the £250 from You've Been Framed ?? ------------- |

Looks well Daz, was it a Full System you went for or the
Backbox alone? It will/should get noisier. When I got mine, it was perfect for what I was after but after about 18 months and 6k, she's really starting to shout now. Hope that's it though as don't want it any louder. As far as Warranty is concerned, I've had my exhaust off a couple of times now, once to fit a Supersprint, then a GruppeM and now the Milltek and as such, one of the clamps gave up the ghost. I explained the rattling to Phoenix BMW when it was in for a couple of other things and they diagnosed an exhaust clamp and replaced such for nothing!  Even with the obvious
Milltek. Some weather back home! Dryer than here in Rio, believe it or not!  -------------  http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/cars/e46/m3csl.html" rel="nofollow - My Car 2004 M3 CSL and 2009 E90 M3 |

It was the cat back system I went for Baz. No damage/cutting required to OEM, as the cross pipes bolt to the manifold then the back box slots onto the cross pipes - job done! The OEM one is in my garage, gonna refit for selling/trading in. Or I can refit if I decide it is too loud, but right now I love it. Never realised just how heavy the OEM exhaust was until I was lugging it into my garage on my own from my dad's jeep. Was never a fan of the chrome pipes from the factory. ------------- http://smg.photobucket.com/user/silverbeastie/media/Milltek/Sig.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"> 2009 E92 M3 - Milltek |
