New exhausts
Does anyone knew if ANY company is making an aftermarket exhaust for the X1 yet? I was trolling the net the other day and saw Remus makes exhausts for most models, EXCEPT the X1. I guess us X1 owners are the forgotten step children again?

Supersprint has had a "coming soon" listed exhaust for the x28i for months but nothing for sale.
I was looking at my stock exhaust closely and it has a fairly large pipe diamter so no increase there. It also has that vacuum baffle flap in the inner pipe which would be nice to eliminate. The Remus site notes "not for M-tech or panoramic sunroof models"...??

I think I remember reading somewhere that the 1-Series and X1 exhaust are essentially identical. So the aftermarket 1-Series should work. But obviously need to verify that before buying!
I actually wouldn't mind replacing the X1 exhaust simply for the fact I don't like how the exhaust looks from behind the car. The big boxy muffler looks bleh! And it is very visible. |

Ahhhh, been down that road with a long ago VW Bug that I fitted with an extractor exhaust; it sounded great in town, but got mighty drony on a long highway trip. At the time I thought, gee, be great to turn it off and on.
So I understand exactly why BMW sets it up as they do, tho' I do like the way mine growls when you really get on it...something I haven't done much due to the low miles. Moon |
