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

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

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

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.thecremeegg wrote: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
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
