Megan exhaust now out for the F30 335i and under $450 bucks!
Seems like a great price for a quality piece, they also have one with burnt tips, Here's the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/MEGAN-4-Dual...sories&vxp=mtr

Interesting. I'm on the fence about the Challenge system. The stock catback uses 3" piping all the way but it bends down to 2.5" in a few areas. The Callenge system also uses 3" piping but does not bend down to 2.5" at all. I'm not sure how much that could actually help.
I do LOVE the sound of the Challenge, just not sure I can justify spending an extra $1000 b/c I like the sound a little more. |

I didn't think it sounded that great. But, the price sounds great.
I like the tips, though. Well, the point is moot for me. I'm port installing the M-Performance exhaust and there are no warranty issues. The Meistercraft and Challenge systems sound amazing. |

After listening to the clip vs the Challenge a couple times, I think they sound pretty similar. I guess I'll have to wait until my car gets here to get under it and see how restrictive the stock piping could actually be. I really wanted to have all my parts here waiting for the car but $1000 is $1000

its an axle-back where you have to cut the stock pipe. why not spend 2x and get a proper replacement? Does the M Performance one bolt on or do you have to cut the midpipe?

My disclaimer is that I don't have the car yet so I haven't been able to confirm what I've read on here. Sounds like the stock system is a pretty good one (other than the muffler and DP). Last edited by mikew2069; 11-24-2012 at 04:32 PM.. |

And I do not think the Megan exhaust sounds the same as the Challenge. The challenge sounds way better, plus it has all those popping cracking sounds in sport mode; I do not think the Megan one had any of that. I think I want the Challenge exhaust, best bang for your buck. |

wow, sounds horrible...for an axle back, might as well just get the BMW M Perf, it's $900, but sounds much better...
