i was just wondering the other day what was happening with this.. interested to hear how you get on

Looking forward to this

Anyone developing an exhaust for the Z4 should look closely at the system you get on an Alpina Z4 IMO. The sound is absolutely sublime, could not be more perfect if you ask me and even better than a Z4m. No idea how they achieved it but I'm sure some of the exhaust bods out there will know.

Completely agree, heard Perry's last year & love it

So, am I right in understanding that that the system in question will be able to be bolted on to the bottom end of the manifold? If so, that would be marvelous.

That's correct yes!
What I've asked for is a complete cat-back system that bolts upto the downpipes on these two flanges (sat just behind the front Subframe)

thats a very clean underside

Yeah it is! Unfortunately it's not mine. It's a pic I borrowed from an American forum.

Wish mine was that clean

Like others have said, price dependent and if they can do one to fit the earlier 3.0 then I could be interested!

Does anyone have an image of the 3.0i exhaust system including the manifolds?
I read somewhere that the cats that are under the car are just secondaries?

So, Today was supposed to be the day I took my car over to Scorpion for the development, but unfortunately my Electric waterpump had other ideas.

Having had a strange experience yesterday on a shorter journey with the engine getting upto temperature, but the cabin heating not seeming to do anything, then the same thing happening this morning, as I entered the motorway the engine temp started to creep up above 90˚c.

Luckily I have a keen eye and pulled over as soon as it started to creep up. After a few minutes to cool down, I started the car up again and proceeded to make my way back home. At first the temps were creeping up again, then suddenly, they dropped down to 90˚c and stayed perfectly level all the way home! So... Looks like I'm going to need to swap out the Thermostat and Water Pump before Re-arranging the development slot!

Gutted, but at least it happened close to home and before I got there

bugger.. thats hard luck mate ... hope you get it sorted and back in for the system.. think a lot of us are looking forward to seeing and hearing it

Another one here waiting to hear the sound

With my waterpump and thermostat changed, and a rather extended road test, I now need to see when the next development slot can be made

I'll let you guys know once I have confirmation.
