not a big fan of big wheels or the rotors/calipers, but how do you like the exhaust? sound clips, vids, how much did it weigh and is there a power increase? where did you get it from? any alignment issues?

The car belongs to my friend hence the GruppeM exhaust - the Amuse hadn't been released when we ordered it.
The exhaust weighs 4.5kgs compared to 20kg+ stock system. The sound is just crazy - lowe rpms, you get a deep burble but as the revs climb, it breaks out into a high tone similar to F1 cars! Sounds the dogs danglies at WOT. The alignment was near perfect apart from the left side sitting about 3emm lower than the right.
The car revs a lot smoother and quicker. Had a blast with stock M3 and managed to outrun at the end of 3rd gear. That's a lot of performanve for just a cat back system.

I -forged ehhh... I would have gone with HRE, Finkse, or Kinesis. I-forged are cheap 3 peice wheels... I believe they are not hub centric. The exhaust on the other hand beautiful.

That's waht I thought too Roja- when I ordered the wheels - I asked about the hubcentric rings...I was told that they were not needed.

I could be wrong about that though.
Its funny how all the HRE people are saying that iForged is a bad wheel. Most of the higher end wheels are made in the same factory and/or use the same equipment. I have heard good things and bad things about every wheel company ever. Whats your point?!

News flash, HRE wheels suck just as bad as I Forged. Heavy wheels what are now even failing on the track. I know you'll tell me about the 2-4 wheels out of probably like 15-20 wheels they make, that are lightweight, blah blah blah, Fikse's are the way to go. CCW's are pretty decent also. Me, I'll stick to Rays Eng.
