Looks like NM-Engineering just released their Clubman S Exhaust. I got one on the way!

How much hp are they claiming this will give you?

 

I just put mine in, I love it, it sounds great and looks amazing. I haven't found anything on their site claiming how much HP it adds, but I can definitely tell that I have much more now than I did before.

 

"Much more" , a bit subjective, any objective info?

 

Yeah, I don't really have anything more than that for now. I'm looking to get my car on the dyno in the next couple weeks, I'll put up a post when I know.

 

Pics, Videos, etc?

 

I put mine on back on Aug 26th. I STILL have to write the review I promised.

Here is a link to my pictures and some RAW, VERY RAW video. No making fun of the videos!

PS: for the rolling video you'll need some decent speakers. On my MacBookPro I could not really any of the exhaust during that video.

I have really been waiting for the unit to break in and produce it's final sound. I think 45 days should allow for that. :D<lazy>

I'll get my review up at the beginning of next week.

 

So here are some pictures of the exhaust, a video is available from their website.

 

I am strongly considering a Catback exhaust (NM or Magnaflow at this point) and a stock JCW ECU tune for my Clubman S. I want to wake it up a bit, but don't want gonzo HP at the wheels. I plan on staying with my stock intake, as it's the same as the JCW base intake anyway, sans sticker/decal.

The NM, Borla, and Milltek seem to be extremely overpriced, and rumor has it that Magnaflow is heavy and get's "droney" as it breaks in....anyone's experience with and opinion of NM, Magnaflow, Milltek, etc would be appreciated, thanks! I want a little more crackle, but also don't want to hear drone wars when I am cruising at 82 mph, either. Reccomendations?

 

So I put my NM catback exhaust in about 4 months ago now and every time I drive my car it seems to sound better. It may just be that I love the sound, but isn't that enough? Oh yeah, I haven't noticed any droning either.

 

I am SO SORRY!!!

$1000.00 FOR A CAT BACK EXHAUST?!?!?!?!

Are you Friggin kiddin me?

I dont even think that includes shipping!

 

No ##&*!@# kiddin' !!--- I agree, $1k is way too much for an exhaust...yeah there's r&d and tuning research, but I really feel the manufacturers and retailers are seriously gouging the end user on exhaust systems. NM is like IPOD exhaust....One "fixed price" at all retailers. And some retailers have the gall to quote full retail, and tell you there discounting it as far as they can, yet it's found for $50 less on the net, anywhere else!!! Yeah I think NM is good, but give us a break here guys, no one's making the $$$ or spending the $$$ like we used too...lighten up a bit on the "retail pricing" and you'd might be surprised how much your sales would increase.....alright, I am off the soap box now.

 

I think comparing NM to Milltek is a more fair comparison.

 

what about a cost efficient exhaust upgrade for a justaclubman?
