Was planning opening a new thread but GreatWhiteM2 beat me to the punch!

Went down to Active Autowerke to get this fitted. Couple pics of the install. They were finalizing last measurements on my car so this should be ready for go pretty shortly.

**Edit

Adding vid links to first post.

Active Autowerke Signature Exhaust - single center Midpipe with Full 3.5" into AA muffler

The tips look like they hang a bit too far down. Is this intentional?

My driveway has a long slope and my girl was recording the video sitting down at a lower point than my garage.

Its just the angle, they sit about half an inch from the diffuser.

In the works, I am waiting on Thomas to finish lip so I can pickup diffuser. Then I will polish these tips so they are also gloss like it.

Thanks for the recommendation Marc! I will be pulling them off to polish and match the diffuser when I install so I will do some final adjustments at that moment.

Roughly same price of the same system for the M4. Final price depends on tip selection I believe.

Are the tips adjustable? Can they be installed more flush with the bumper? Where is this exhaust made? Someone told me AAW outsources their exhausts to China. Not sure this is true?

Followed back! Will probably do MPE or similar style. I like the lines on the stock just need it to be carbon!

Yes, tips are completely adjustable. You can move them in or out which is nice in case you go with an aggressive diffuser you can align them as needed.

Not sure on the Chinese thing. This exhaust is a work of art with beautiful detailed welds and much attention to detail.

The shop has a whole fabrication area, the system is in final development and they had two fabricators there adjusting on the fly. So they have full in-house capability to do full exhaust.
