Thats a nice room but do you drive in an acoustic chamber? I don't and if there is any one out there that does please get me a video it would great to see. We test our sound based on the human ear and what is pleasing to it. That is a real life test and that is what makes all the difference, what sound good driving down the street not driving in an acoustic chamber.
That's like saying : Do you drive on a dyno? Why bother?
You referred to those 2 companies as the "other companies that might use stainless steel from mill out of nowhere"...

I'd like to buy from a fellow Canadian entreprise and help the economy here instead of over there in Europe, anyway, what does that matter, I'm a consumer, I'll do whatever I want with my money.

X5E70,

Find a statement where I referred to those companies by name. I know there are more companies than us and the two other companies you mentioned that make exhausts for the X5. It was you that made that connection, the only reason I am responding to this is I want the members of X5 world to know I won't say anything negative about any specific competing company as its not my personal character nor would it be professional.

If you or any member has questions about our product I will be happy to answer them. As you said its your money so do your research on all companies and make your decision......moving on....

-Brent

MESSAGE TO ALL THAT ORDERED AND DID NOT GET WHAT I PROMISED.

Please contact me at [email protected] as you are all now aware the systems were not mandrel bent and the pipes were 409.....

WE WILL EXHCHANGE YOUR PURCHASE FOR WHAT I PROMISED. AGAIN PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR AN EXCHANGE.

From my personal point of view there is no excuse for this error. I won't sugar coat this in any way this was our fault and we intend to make good on our promise.

-Brent

FYI X5E70 I have installed many name brands in the past, and those experiences have ot always been sweet and easy either.
Based on the information available I made a decision to give Stebro a go.

I must say that had the product arrived promptly and had it been made as they promised, I would be resonably happy. Just a shame they have had a number of issues and I am stuck down here in OZ.

I ope my comments and experience help those in the USA and hopefully when some of the systems are changed, positive posts will be made. Frankly, I thought they would offer to credit me for the system of at least a large % to make up for sending the wrng product and many weeks of inconvienience. The fact that they didnt means my business goes elsewhere now and into the future - as do my referrals and recomendations.

FOOTNOTE TO STEBRO EXPERIENCE

Guys,
I will add - whilst I have paid more than I should, it took time to get the system (being in Oz doesn't help), the system quality (stainless and welds) not being what it should be - there is a small upside to this whole Stebro exhaust experience.

It has been commented to me by a number of people now that they love the sound of the car. I am not tonally enamored, but the response has been 100% positive from everyone that have heard it.

So - if you can get the stainless product and want a good sounding system and what ultimately seems like a good price in the USA, i would suggest looking at Stebro. They seem to be getting their act together with Customer Service etc.

I am still going to be installing a few other systems in the next couple of weeks and will post videos/pics for each unit installed - so perhaps if your considering an exhaust system, wait a couple of weeks and I'll post some content for you to consider - I'll do my best to let you know in detail about each system.

Cheers

juicer

All I will say is that my Remus cat back system on my E53 looks better than that does after 6 years of use . Oh, and it cost me $800 at the time . Thanks for the update Juicer, and keep us posted on not only your refund, but also the new contestants! Bigger pictures would definitely be appreciated. You have been extremely patient with Stebro, so hopefully they will take care of you. We all know that word of mouth on forums like this can make or break a supplier . Good Luck!
