I'm very happy with my adjustable exhaust, best of both worlds...plus with the valves open its louder than a setup like...for example x-pipe with Eisenmann (because opened its x-pipe with no mufflers). Additionally there was a cost benefit since the whole setup ran $1,300 which is considerably less than a premium x-pipe and muffler combo like Superprint.

I see, do you have sound clips? I am a big fan of your car, you did a great job

I asked in regards to the Hamann because I wanted to hook you up with the Hamann exhaust, we had several in stock. I will upload a clip later

car is coming along great! good taste!

B M W · 12-20-2011, 09:08 AM

SICK!! Suggestion..... 35% or 20% tint, and a lipkit, trunk spoiler ( 3d or vorsteiner )

Ps. Can u post vids of the oem exhaust?

Looks great! I'm on m5board as well! I think you are the one who has the e39 m5 for sale. Your car was one of the reasons I got an e39 m5.

Very clean. I am planning on picking up an AW F10 in another year and we seem to have similar tastes in modding. Love the black roof and the exhaust setup! Keep up the quality mods.

ATLANTA F10 · 01-20-2012, 05:47 PM

Thanks for the positive words...I ended up changing to 20" Avant Garde and also added the M5 style trunk lip...also painted the tips/dumps for the valves satin black so they blend into the shadows under the car for a cleaner look.

Looking into getting the AR downpipes and a tune would be great...

datbimmerdoe · 01-20-2012, 08:20 PM

new setup is super clean!

luigimaster24 · 01-22-2012, 02:00 AM

Get the AR catless downpipes, you will be glad you did!!!

ATLANTA F10 · 01-24-2012, 11:52 AM

Yep I would like to get the catless AR downpipes soon...just want to be sure there is a tune available in combination with the pipes to get the full advantage...and no check engine lights too.

I know more tunes/options should be available soon for the 550. I would have to imagine the AR pipes with a correct overall tune would really wake this beast up.

Ryan@IND · 01-24-2012, 12:14 PM

It was nice speaking with you today. Your car looks great and we can't wait to see what the future holds for this beast

ATLANTA F10 · 03-23-2012, 03:10 PM

Just ordered AR Design Catless Downpipes for the 550 V8tt...ceramic coated black finish...waiting for scheduled install first thing Monday morning with my friend Jason Cummins and the crew over at Buckhead Imports...these will be combined with the rest of my exhaust system I've had for a while, also built by the experts at Buckhead Imports, with the custom x-pipe and electronic valves/dumps...with the valves open it should be wild and beastly and with the valves closed (going through stock M Sport mufflers) it should be a muffled rumble...stay tuned I'm excited!

Next up will be a tune to really take advantage of the 550 V8tt engine and these downpipes and exhaust...hopefully in the next few months.

DentalBoy · 03-23-2012, 03:32 PM

Cant wait for the report!!. Hopefully you will post some video/sound clips!!

Where is the pedal set from..

How do u like these pedals?

ATLANTA F10 · 03-28-2012, 12:30 AM

Got them from www.ultimatepedals.com

I really like the pedals, high quality aluminum, they let you choose textured or smooth...sometimes you see smooth finish for the gas pedal, and more textured for gripping the brake..like Ferrari pedals.

I'm a repeat customer...I love the fact you can just call them up, and describe in detail what you want to order...they are friendly and always make it easy...lots of options and custom things they can do.
