OK guys - With the Z4 back on the road and a weekend full of extended road tests - It's all good to go, so a quick update:
Development is back on, I will be dropping the car off with Scorpion on Sunday this week. Development begins on Monday.

Onwards and upwards!

Very interested in this!

I have been searching and searching for a replacement system and come up empty, I don't like the Eisenmann system either as the sound just isn't what I'm after. Really hope this comes to fruition :driving:

It will be doing :)

Got my route planned to Scorpion on Saturday, and will be getting a lift from Scorpion to Buxton for a VW/Audi meet with a colleague in his Porsche Cayman-S, then getting a lift home afterwards.
I'll probably spend my time at the VW/Audi meet in the pub having a few beers and some foods though instead of looking at the cars lol.

I really want an S2000 style exhaust - one large exit either side. Anyone know of any Zed with this?

You'll be needing to go and have a custom one done for that.

+1
all of the ones I have seen stick with the twin tail setup, if you're after something like an S2000 exit the best option for you would be a custom that way you get exactly what you're looking for :thumbsup:

Exhaust Manufacturers who sell off the shelf product don't generally get involved in anything which is going to require:
A) Cutting of the rear bumper
B) Welding or any additional support bracket setup
C) Anything with a possibility of melting the OE bodywork

Yea that's fair enough, however there seem to be loads of options for fake z4m style exhausts which are essentially the same thing :p

It's a little different with the ///M replica exhausts as there's an OEM bumper that's a direct fit which will accommodate 4x Tailpipes.
Plus there's any number of people out of there who are looking to make their car look like the ///M model.

True. Any ideas on ballpark figures for a custom exhaust? Tbh I don't really want it much louder, just a tiny bit of a rumble!

'scuse the blunt reply, but not a clue. Ask a custom exhaust specialist :)
