My car is having plastic surgery today:

flpnout · 11-01-2010, 06:05 PM

Scary stuff

:
Bumper is going under the knife!
I'm getting implants for a new rear end that's on the loud side.....

rmorin49 · 11-01-2010, 06:49 PM

Let us know how it goes and if you like the new sound.

teagueAMX · 11-01-2010, 07:54 PM

Somebody has a nice lift and some great tools in their garage!

Also, you must be going with a quad tailpipe system, otherwise you wouldn't need to remove the fascia, right? Unless you plan to change it anyway to a different style.

flpnout · 11-01-2010, 11:07 PM

It sounds spectacular!! It has a very deep sound and it growls at start-up. The burps and gurgles are more noticeable now during down shifts and when you let up on the gas. I have no regrets with Eisenmann Race. It will sound even better after 500 miles break in. It smells funny though. I just got home. Alekshop did a fantastic job. I highly recommend him in the Bay Area! He is from the M3 forum. Very happy with the results.

I will post pics and clips soon.....

teagueAMX · 11-01-2010, 11:51 PM

Is that a catless exhaust system and will it pass Calif smog?

Alekshop · 11-02-2010, 12:25 AM

Cris thank you for coming today to the shop ! Sorry that it took a bit longer that we anticipated but now your car definitely stands out form the crowd !

Car sounds fantastic and it feels like with system you unleashed another 10-15hp ...

Please let me know what you will be available for a follow up appointment.

Aleks.

flpnout · 11-02-2010, 01:18 AM

Thanks Aleks, it was well worth the wait!! And thanks for debagging my left and right front fenders. No longer do I have to see that sDrive35i. Much appreciated!! I'll see you when I get back from Germany for a follow-up! I still want my M front bumper and M steering wheel done next.

Silver-Bolt · 11-02-2010, 07:17 AM

Very nice!

Roadstergal · 11-02-2010, 08:06 AM

Looks great! I can't wait to hear the new exhaust!

Land_Shark · 11-02-2010, 08:11 AM

Very nice... Can you plz take a pix of the full back when you get the time...
Thanks!

ttuner · 11-02-2010, 12:19 PM

how much of the bumper did they have to cut out?

flpnout · 11-03-2010, 12:07 AM

They had to widen the existing exhaust outlets to about 2mm each.

Chuck76 · 11-03-2010, 12:28 AM

Nice pics! Can't wait to hear it.

I need to take better pics when I get back from Germany, but here is what it looked like when it was being worked on:

heha · 11-03-2010, 01:45 AM

deflectors gone?

Land_Shark · 11-03-2010, 02:21 AM

Thanks... Very nice... Like it!!

flpnout · 11-08-2010, 04:09 PM

Here is a sound clip of before and after. I think I need a better camera as it sounds so much better in person, but thought I would share anyways:

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/a3YfyLwJSqI?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/a3YfyLwJSqI?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

Or here is the link:

Mr Breeze · 11-08-2010, 05:01 PM

NICE !!!!

Love the sound and the look. The new defuser is sweet!

So I've gotta ask - what was the damage to the wallet?

flpnout · 11-08-2010, 05:07 PM

Thanks! I sent you a PM.

No wonder you were out running around right away and could hardly post photos of how your Z looked and sounds.

Very nice - congrats!!!

flpnout · 11-09-2010, 12:04 AM

Thanks! Now what else should I mod? M-Bumper, maybe? I like it the way it is for now, probably wait next year for the M-bumper.

flpnout · 11-09-2010, 04:04 PM

Thanks for the PM I received from some of you. Alekshop ordered and installed the Eisenmann on my car. Please feel free to reach out to him. He can also get you the 3D Design diffuser. His contact info is posted somewhere towards the top of this post.
