Thought I might share this with the wider community, I've already posted it under the UK section so apologies for the double post.

I have a 330D M Sport and this is my latest mod, the AC Schnitzer Dual Sports Exhaust.

It's quite large and your eye is certainly drawn to them, the sound at first was pretty much the same as stock, but I have started to notice it's getting deeper and more noticeable when revving etc.. maybe changes over time as it's run in. Obviously I'm not expecting this to sound like an M5!

My car already had the M Performance kit which was a slight problem for the rear diffuser, AC Schnitzer provide a diffuser for this exhaust but to be honest I really like the M Perf one and didn't want to lose it. I could have cut my current diffuser up but seeing as it has space on one side for twin exhausts it wouldn't have looked right (holes for the pipes would be massive).

So instead I just purchased the 335i diffuser which it a perfect fit for the exhaust.

Here's some crappy iPhone pictures:

Cheers mate, I don't think they like Diesels!

45 views and no comments, they were probably thinking you'd typo'd 335i!

How are you finding your ACS exhaust now you've had it on the car for many months now? Ive been thinking about it and have exchanged emails with Lorcan at ACS.
Sound changes? Performance changes? I certainly like the look of the tips but am struggling with the outlay if there are no other benefits
Would be good to hear your thoughts

No probs with the exhaust, under normal driving there's no difference in sound (that I can tell) but once you start pushing it (in sport mode) the sound gets deeper and a bit louder, not instantaneous seems to need to heat up for it to get that sportier sound and once you return to comfort mode it's still noticeable until it cools off. It aint no M5 though! I should really get a video up, will work on that this weekend. There's no performance difference, I did it more for the look, wanted the 335 symmetry (and bigger pipes!) and apart from third party solutions it was the best option at the time, doesn't effect warranty as fitted by BMW etc..

Thanks for the feedback, I will bear it in mind and see what Lorcan can do on price.
I cant find anyone online who went down the Supersprint route - http://www.supersprint.com/ww-en/bmw...-hp-2013-.aspx - which is a shame as it would be good to compare. ACS would certainly be my preference over BMW's M Performance Active Sound solution, due out in 2016, I believe, which might sound good but looks like a dog's dinner underneath the car - http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1166374
