Active Autowerke Exhaust Installed + Review

[edwinm3]

The mounting hardware (Center bracket) looks very similar to the way the E9X exhaust was , any fitment/install issues with the AA exhaust?

We sold a ton of these exhausts, never ran into any problems

We make them in house on the jig so fitment should be 100% every time. Stop by and check them out

Can you get some driving, revving, etc.

do you think this exhaust is possible to install at home if you jack the back end of your car up?

Yes, I did a review on this exhaust and did it with some ramps. Took about 3 hours. You will need a second hand to make your life easier when doing the actual swap.

Nothing special, just some ramps from advanced auto parts...

Should be no problem at all most of our customers installed it on their own

Yes he is sure
Full exhaust with downpipe sounds amazing, it is almost too good to be true . Thats why the first page is full of AA exhaust positive reviews

I just installed mine and it sounds fantastic. Really deep, not too loud, and no drone.

I posted a short clip of idle/short revs (post #2):

Thanks for the review.
Heard the exhaust in person and I was blown away. Best sounding system for the F8x so far IMO
Great work by AA !

Love the AA exhaust - full system with DP's was installed today. The only thing I don't really care for (cosmetic only) is the way the tips stick out a bit far IMO. I would really like to replace the tips with some black tips that are a little shorter. Any recommendations from you guys?

AA does make black tips, here.

I personally like the vorsteiner daimond black ones that I'm planning on swapping when I install mine.
