Thoughts on AC SCHINTZER exhaust system?

[tradebeast2g]

Hey guys,

My car: BMW M4 f82

So my dealer has offered the AC SCHINTZER exhaust system for me at a decent price. However there doesnt seem to be any proper videos or reviews of this system on YouTube or much on the forums here which i find a bit odd. Is this not a good exhaust system?

I have also the option for the Akrapovic but its quite expensive.

Anyone have any opinion on the SCHINTZER exhaust? Or any videos of their own.

Thanks a lot.

AC Schnitzer (not schintzer) is a very reputable company. I think there was a thread of someone getting their exhaust, I'm sure you'll find it if you search for it. However, you wont find many videos or reviews of ACS products here, the company doesn't have a lot of presence in North America. Eitherway, videos will never properly portray the sound properly anyway. So if you are in the market for an exhaust and you are getting a steal deal like you suggest, I'd go for it. Personally I think the Akra is overpriced and doesn't sound that great.

Exhaust video is on second page....absolutely love it and receive many compliments on the note.

As mentioned above, no video will truly give you the real sound of an exhaust. If you are getting it for a discounted price I'd go for it especially that it would keep your warranty intact.

Mind you, if you buy a car from AGMC, who do not offer Akrapovic, then you cannot install the Akrapovic exhaust from Abu Dhabi Motors as that would void your warranty. I've asked and got this from the warranty manager through the call center.

so I'd stick with the AC Schnitzer or M Performance Exhaust if you care about your warranty.

On the other hand, if you bought your car from Abu Dhabi Motors, who are the Akrapovic dealer, then that's a different story but I would only get the Akrapovic with downpipes because without them, it barely sounds any better than the stock exhaust.

Hi bro thanks for your comment,

I saw the video, looks good!

I Noticed you did some tuner stuff as well, does that have a factor into the sound of the exhaust? I will not be doing any tuning stuff just the exhaust.

Thanks

Oh I didn't know about the the warranty issues. I am with AGMC dubai.

Yea I guess the option for me is between the AC Schnitzer or the M Performance exhaust. But the M performance exhaust is quite expensive here i think its almost double the price of the AC Schnitzer from AGMC.

I wish there were a lot more reviews for the AC tho.

Well there you go, if you want to keep your warranty, stick to the AC Schnitzer exhaust because yes, the MPE will cost you around AED 44,000 if you add the carbon fiber exhaust tips or titanium exhaust tips.

So go for the AC Shnitzer, as mentioned, you don't see a lot of reviews or videos because it is not very common in the USA since folks can get the MPE in the US for just $5K USD, we pay more than double for that.

No the tuner doesn't affect the sound of the exhaust. it will sound the same on your car.

FYI, the ACS exhaust is a rebranded Remus exhaust. Remus manufacture & private label for ACS. You'd pretty much be getting the same sound as a remus car back w the resonated mid section. Hope that helps out and you'll be able to find more sound clips.

I met a guy today at McDonald's and he saw me wearing the M Bracelet so he was like, what car do you drive.....then we started talking about cars....., long story short, he has a 2014 Z4 3.0L with the AC Schnitzer exhaust so I was like, can I hear it? We went out and he started the car, it had a very nice deep tone just like you would hear on a super car, I was shocked by how good it sounded. He revved it a little bit but nothing crazy and it sounded awesome. I was thinking in the back of my head, wow, if it sounds this good on a Z4, it would sound even better on an M3/M4.

Haha i always end up meeting people at Mcdonalds regarding cars.

Thanks for the info bro, will make a follow up video soon on this.

Just came across this thread.
I have installed the AC Schnitzer exhaust with Sound Pipe on my F82 and it just sounds great!
It is really loud on Sport/Sport+.. best mod i've done so far..

What's a decent price before I post my .02-cents?

Prices vary across different markets.
In the UAE, the ACS exhaust with the additional Sound Pipe and black tips costs $5,000 installed. The MPE costs $6,500 with Titanium tips installed. CF tips adds another few hundred bucks. But again, the ACS price vs MPE could be very different elsewhere.

Love my ACS exhaust! It's very aggressive sounding on the competition package.

Video I made after getting the exhaust.

Definitely one of the better sounding exhausts I've heard on an M3/M4. Most videos I hear there's a ton of cracking and I barely hear any of it with your setup. Do you not get that with the ACS export version?

Contemplating an M4 purchase sometime next year and this video definitely has got me considering the ACS exhaust as my first mod. Especially with the MPE/akra exhausts being so damn expensive.

Hey buddy, since I have the standard M4 what I get is a deeper sound and definitely louder while accelerating. There are few small short pops here and slight burbles.

If you have a competition package then the exhaust makes it even more crazier with the long burbles etc..

I think its worth it as an overall package.

Awesome. I'm not really considering the competition package so it looks like I may be in the same boat as you with the standard edition. Was there a specific part number for the model you went for?

I was looking through their website and the details are pretty limited. Seems like it might be a bit more challenging for me to order since there aren't any official US dealers.
