Longlife Exhaust Z4 Coupe

Got my Longlife Exhaust back box made today, by topgearstockport.co.uk

2 staggered, 3 inch slash cut tails, so quite discreet, but clearly different, unlike the noise lol! It sounds freekin awesome!
Little bit boomy on the motorway, so going to experiment with sound deadening in the boot and adding some foam back to the sound pipe!
May get better as it soots up, but will live with it for the race car sound on acceleration!

Cost is around £300 fitted, 4 hours approx ! Can be made quieter and your old box can be put back on later if you wanted!
Workmanship is top notch and the welding is mint! I would say equal to the Eisenmann race i had on my last z, but far cheaper!

Noise at start up is lovely, around town is stunning and some nice, not too loud pops on overrun! Cruising on the Motorway is fine, just a bit loud on a low revs pull, but you could have it made quieter and there are plenty of tailpipes to choose from!
I will change the clamps to Mikalor though, use them on all my cars!

Would be interested in hearing this at some point.

I'm hopefully going to be having a custom cat-back system done on mine in the next few months, either by Pipewerx Cars or BCS Exhausts.

Happy to meet at some stage so you can have a listen. I've checked your centre section mod and might do that next. Oh and btw, I've nicked your splitter idea, ordered one today lol. Check out topgearstockports.co.uk , their welding work is excellent. Real car enthusiasts too. Only came across them by accident, based in Bredbury !

Quick update ! Put the foam back in the sound pipe, i'd removed nearly all of it! The drone/boom is far less on acceleration and gone when cruising!
I'd say it's as quiet as pre back box but with sound pipe mod.

It's now fine for a day to day car and sounds as it should've from the factory IMO

Going to experiment now, removing foam until i'm totally happy.
