Catching Some Z’s

02 Aug Catching Some Z’s

Now that the C63’s header and midsection are done and fitted, and the car is back on the dyno (with video coming soon), it’s back to catching up on the Z4M.

This is what the underbody of a Z4M without an exhaust looks like. As you can see, there’s going to be ample room for what we have in store.

Now this is an engine we’ve worked with countless times in the past, just in the body of a different vehicle, so we’re moving through this exhaust pretty quickly.

Much like his E38’s exhaust, Eric is aiming for more of a sleeper style with the roadster, something that won’t offend entire towns (not that there’s anything wrong with that, it’s all based on the client’s personal aesthetic), so we’re going with a set of mufflers and a set of resonators. That way, the Fluid custom sound will still be apparent, even in muted tones, which is spot-on with our goal for this setup.

As always, watching an exhaust be created is a thing of wonder. Not just because so many smaller pieces of metal seemingly arrange themselves in some sort of tube made of awesome, but because of the level of workmanship involved in crafting such a thing. Even though we’re moving at the speed of light with this exhaust, we never let quality dip one bit:

We’ll keep you updated on this exhaust as it develops. However, by the time this sentence is finished being typed, we’ve probably managed to make 5 copies of this exhaust. Don’t worry, though, the next blog post will contain everything we hope you like about the exhaust blogs — metal and welds (occasionally with interesting colors!)

As a final addendum, the official Autobahn Tech Inspection sheet is available for viewing, downloading, printing out, etc. Take a look at the post to see it.
