Arqray exhaust for N20 installed w/ PICS

I just read on Arqray website that they have released their exhaust system for the N20 application.

Need to know who can sell me one!

I can't wait ... Local fabricator that I saw didn't want to work on my car since he wanted to do some body work on the trunk to fit regular mufflers. I was not to lean on letting him cut my brand new car. This bolt on system should be perfect!

So far my new car looks amazing, now with the matching Vorsteiner rear diffuser and quad tip exhaust, this will be perfect

This is on a 535. It will not sound the same on the 528.

Check with www.mastermindna.com. They are the north American importer of Arqray.

I was going to order that exhaust, but I ended up getting a 535 instead of the 528.

I did received my Arqray exhaust yesterday! Will have the rear Vorsteiner CF diffuser install on Monday and the exhaust on Wed.

Very impressed by the quality of the exhaust. I just not sure about the tips... Looks pretty bling bling to me. I think I am going to have them painted black.

will post pics when all is done... Should be pretty nice... So far I only get compliments for my car, that front Vorsteiner lip with the black grills really give this 528 a meaner look...

enjoy!!!!

Arqray exhaust installed this morning. Above 2500RPM no difference what so ever than stock. Below 2000 RPM your can feel a deeper tone more base. No drone.

Excellent fit, with all hardware included. The exhaust shop couldn't believed the quality and perfect fit. Very pleased.

I was not a fan of the titanium blue tips so I blacked them out. very slick and OEM looking

So you can see that I added

1.Front Vorsteiner lip
2. rear Vorsteiner diffusor
3. AC Schnitzer roof spoiler
4. Black Kidney grill
5. Laminex Blue overlay of fog lights
6. 19 inch BMW 350 wheels
7. tinted windows all around
8. Arqray quad tips exhaust
9. Hartge engine tuning...on order

Sound clip

I have no sound clip and not sure I need to post one cause you wouldn't hear the difference. It's like stock. The only difference is below 2500 rpm the bass is deeper and you can feel the rumble compare to stock. If you drive in sport mode, your shift point are higher and you don't notice it! In comfort mode you always end up below 2000 rpm and you can hear a deeper tone. I suspect that if you would disconnect the vacuum hose from your stock exhaust, you would feel the same experience!

So it's still sound like a 4 cylinder, don't expect an exotic sound or performance increase. It is a quality product but not aimed at sound or performance... Just looks. This is what I wanted so fully satisfied customer.

With the Hartge tuning package, it might bring this car to a more performance level but again my hope are very limited. It is not a M5 or a 535, it's a high school kid wearing it's father Hugo Boss suit!

Reach out to Rajeet at MastermindNA he will be able to quote you a price.

It is not cheap but it is a quality product.
