well men... this may be the last you see of the beloved beast...
i was driving south bound on fell avenue past marine drive in north van, in the left lane due to 3 cars turning in the right.... i accelerated to around maybe 50-55 when out of no where comes a lady in a van... SHE SLAMS ON HER BRAKES!?!?!??!?!? and stops right in front of me... maybe 10 feet.... so i CRAM on mine.... but to no avail... it was too late



BRACE YOURSELVES MEN








i am fine.. jsut a little sore and a little pissed off

heres why i said it was write off... when i went to take it out of gear, the shifter would work... and i realized it was at the back of the shifter opening.. when it is normally at the very front since it has a short shift kit... PLUS... get this... the glove box was busted... and the HU face plate came off... and the amp in the trunk was ripped of its mount... so yeah... it was pretty hard

masking would be too much of a bitch and wouldnt end up beeing straight... no matter how hard you try... so i painted it... the sanded off with 80 grit to smooth it... then 160 for the brushed aluminum look, then i cleared over top

How much are they charging for the unit when they do a custom batch?  I presently have a 1-piece that is about 7 years old and may need replacement someday.  Back when I got it, I paid US$420, which is probably less than I would have spent on 4 crappy ANSA mufflers over the same time period!

How well do the 2-piece units fit together?  How well do they seal?  Exhaust leaks are annoying!

LIKE A GLOVE... hahahah its perfect with a muffler that is that quiet its easy to notice a leak and with mine ive never noticed a leak

...yesterday, they told me they were out of stock.

yup... it was a special order... and it costs the same amount as shown on their page... but you need at least 20 other people to commit to it before they  do a custom run....
and yes the exhaust is really quiet but i love it i think it sounds super refined compared to the stock and i couldnt be happier

well you see these units are no longer in production / available.  but supersprint will do a custom run if they get an order of like 20+... and i was one of the 23 or so people who was in that order. and i purchased it from turner motorsports

its the 2 peice.. and i fiddled around with how far out it stuck and i decided on this length i like it more because it  sticks out just far enough that you can read the Super sprint when standing over the bumper slightly... plus i think it looks more OEM... but its all personal prefrance right

I managed to get my hands on a BRAND NEW Super sprint exhaust system for my 318is... which we all know is out of production and requires a special  order for them to make it... well i was one of the lucky 25 to get one...
so here she is...




and know for the sound... 2 videos i just took when i had a free couple min... hope this helps shed some light on the exhaust for people who dontt know what it sounds like
