My Active Autowerke (AA) Headers and Active Autowerke (AA) Exhaust!!

[INDY|UND3RGROUND]

Hey guys,

I recently bought an Active Autowerke Gen III Exhaust, as well as Active Autowerke Headers. The exhaust note is simply addicting, it's not to loud when coasting but when you slam the throttle it sounds perfect. This AA setup is great! I also felt a decent amount of power gains, as well as throttle response once I had the headers installed.

here is a video of revving and as well as an in-car video. (Videos don't do justice, in person, its incredible)

Is there an AA tune to get rid of the SES light?

[INDY|UND3RGROUND]

That's what my shop said, I also know that bimmerbrakes.com sells an o2 simulator that will bypass the SES.

Nice! If your experience becomes similar as mine with my E36 M3, the exhaust will get a little louder over time (in a good way).

Now that you have done that just do the AA Software and you will be amazed. :). They will custom tune to your mods, octane etc.

You have shrick cams already? Its in the zhp package.

I don't think the ZHP comes with Schrik cams; they're BMW Performance Cams which are 248/248. Schrik offers 264/248 and 248/256. The Schrik cams do give slightly more gains than the ZHP Cams (5hp). However, it seems kind of pointless for the money seeing as how you already have 2/3 the power for free over a standard 330.

This is what's kind of pushing me towards it ^ I don't want to upgrade my diff. because I heard ours is perfect with F/I, especially because I am investing in an AA Stage 2.5 Supercharger in the next few months.

Note that the Turner car uses a 3.64 LSD. They didn't keep the original car's final drive ratio of 3.07 The 3.64 ratio is the same as the E46 M3.

When is the LSD coming? :)

[INDY|UND3RGROUND]

Thanks for pointing it out, I am fully aware of that. I would go with the same LSD if I was wanting to go N/A. I heard any LSD other than the stock ZHP is to slippery with F/I?

[INDY|UND3RGROUND]

When is the LSD coming? :)

It isn't :( Unless I decide against a supercharger ;)

[INDY|UND3RGROUND]

Oh, and in a month or two I am purchasing a SuperSprint X-Pipe ;)

[mimalmo]

I've only heard those on M3's. Very interested to hear one on a non-M.

[INDY|UND3RGROUND]

I will post videos!

How do they sound on m's? Kill the rasp any?

If you want to get rid of the rasp on an E46 M3, Rogue and a few others make mid-pipes that get rid of the rasp.

Personally I like the rasp, only to a certain extent though. Its very distinct.
