▀▄ eas | MY11 M3 - Brembo 380mm GT, Akrapovic, Challenge Race+ X-Pipe [w Sound Clips]

tom @ eas · 05-23-2011, 06:26 PM

As most will remember, Charles' 2011 M3 ZCP is no stranger to our facility. This M3's last visit consisted of the following items:

- AIB 3.0 High Powered LED Angel Eye system
- B&G Lowering Springs
- Rogue Engineering OCTANE Short Shifter

This visit was no exception, and Charles simply wanted more - the mod bug was back. Up on the menu was the following:

- Brembo GT 380mm4, 6-piston front calipers, 4-piston rear w/ stainless lines
- Challenge Race+ Stainless Steel X-pipe, omitting primary/secondary and resonators

As for the end result, we'll let the pictures do the talking:

Akrapovic system, w/ customized Gloss Black tips and hand-painted logos from IND:

AW e92 M3 Brembo Install:

Akrapovic Exhaust w/ Challenge RACE+ X-Pipe:

After brakes were bedded, sound clips were taken. Audio/Video does this beast no justice, but the end result really makes for an amazing machine with an intoxicating exhaust note:

Thanks for the opportunity to be included again on your build, we hope you enjoy your M3 as much as we did during the installation.

Enjoy!

i really thought it would sounds better.... not sure

DTM-POWER · 05-24-2011, 07:06 PM

Looks amazing. I'm curious to how the lowering springs affect the comfort ride quality and the sport quality. I would imagine it would bounce more like it has no rebound damping.

spdy330 · 05-24-2011, 07:12 PM

Awesome!
