VIDEOS/SOUND CLIPS:

The sound of the startup and rev is very close to the exhaust but the sound and tone is nice and deep, but it is not obnoxious at all, very respectable sounding startup that your neighbors will not be able to hear in their house. Quiet idle, but slightly deeper note. Reving and hard acceleration is deep and throaty, while highway crusing and around town driving is mild, with ZERO resonance and no droning whatsoever (SAME AS STOCK sound levels while crusing on the freeway).

I'm interested,I'd like to hear a sound clip and see it installed before I buy it though.

I forgot to mention that we offer a 100% money back guarentee 10days/100miles install it, drive it, and if you don't absolutly love it, then we'll buy it back. But sound clips, dyno sheet, and pics will be coming when we run the dyno.

shouldnt this be in the group buy forum?

yea,, maybe it should be now, at first I was looking for a test vehicle but now it looks like a GB can come out of this as well.

Moved to the Group Buy forum. Good luck!

Thanks!

hi Lance,

Have you already found someone to run the dyno on? I'm in the LA area and have a pretty flexible schedule. Let me know. Thanks.

black chrome tips?
 

I have stock exhaust on a 4.4 with black chrome factory tips. My X is all blacked out and I like that look. Are there black chrome tips for this system? If so I would be interested!

An interesting thread regarding another Ztek group buy - this one's on an FX board:

http://www.infinitifx.org/phpBB2/vie...r=asc&&start=0

Yes, we have been developing a bunch of new systems, and helping out the forum community by getting some awesome pricing. Check out our website www.zerotek.net regularly as we release new systems each week. PS-Our Ferrari systems finally are here, if any of you guys are looking for an exhaust for your 360, PM me.

Since this is an BMW SAV board, give us an update on the testing and group buy for the X5 pipes. Have you get a test vehicle? Did you get any dyno work and sound clips done? Is the group buy still open?

Yes the GB is still open, and I have setup a test vehicle and will have results published in about 3 weeks, please pm me or give me a call if you are interested in purchasing the exhaust at the gb price.

Ok guys! The exhausts are here and I'll be on business here in Sacramento for a few weeks so I am trying to get some sound clips asap,

so.. anyone in Sacramento or the surrounding area that can volunteer their x5 for one day, that would be great! Give me a call at 916-717-8151 and we can setup shop.

Anyone still open to get a great deal on this system, you can also reach me at 1-866-zero-tek. PS - only a limited number of systems availible so call fast!

All exhausts are here and ready to ship. I'll be offerign the GB pricing for one more week so call fast to 1-866-zero-tek or 916-717-8151 because we only have a few more sets availible. $899 shipped, larger discount if quantity reaches 10 or more.

Any more shots from farther away? Don't know if you answered this already, but how big are the tips compared to OEM? Thanks again Lance. :)

Oh, and any clips of it on a 3.0?

The tips are slightly bigger than OEM maybe like 3-5mm larger and are about 11mm longer than the OEM tips and are at a more parallel angle to the rear bumper. I'll try to get some more pics, and the sound should be pretty much the same on the 3.0 since it is the exact same muffler.

Well, the V8 sounds a lot better than the I-6, just trying to get an idea of what it'll sound like. :)

11mm longer? Do the tips of the pipes extend beyond the bumper? If they stick too far out, a car parking behind to come into contact with the tailpipes. Do you have a side view snapshot?

Oh no, since the angle is changed to be inline with the bumper it really doesn't extend much farther than the stock when installed. They are about 50mm inside the farthest point of the bumper.

Here are all the rest of the pics I have:

I am interested in the Ztek but I do not know if it is going to be loud enough. I really want a nice rumble from my 4.6! Will there be a choice of "loudness" of the exhaust systems?

I would also want the 4.6 tips. I know Lance said of 10 or more were interested they could make them with the 4.6 tips. Not sure if anyone else would be interested in a 4.6 tips.

I thought the pipes were only made and tested for the 3.0 and the 4.4...they have not tested the pipes for the 4.6...is this correct :confused:

I'm in LA and interested if space still available.

As far as I know the pipes on all three are interchangable.

Hi Lance,
is this exhuast still available?
I live in Singapore. How much to ship here?

Thanks,
Kvin

where is the dyno info available?

We have been trying to look for a donor x5 to do the dyno on, but we weren't able to secure a spot.

All our exhausts are diameter matched to the exact specificaitons of the engine and exhaust configuration to produce useable power gains. We back all of our exhausts witha 100% money back guarentee and a lifetime warrenty.

Interested in the exhaust? Feel free to give me a call at 1-866-Zero-Tek during business hours. Cheers!

I wasn't very impressed with the quality of the videos, can we get some more with engine under load, revving (done right), etc?

Yeah if it sounds different on the 3.0 I cannot think about buying it w/o sound clips on the 3.0

:iagree: want to upgrade 3.0 just need so get some clips

How about cutting me a deal and then I will get some sound clips?
