I got my Rogue Engineering DMS Exhaust earlier in the week and today I found the time to install it. Since I think there is only one other 135i with this exhaust (I think this is the first production unit), I thought I would post some pics and initial impressions.

The quality of the exhaust is noticeable immediately. Most of my aftermarket exhaust experience has been with SuperSprint. I always felt they were top of the heap. Until now. This exhaust is a thing of beauty. The Rogue Exhaust weighs 15lbs while the stock exhaust weighs 29lbs (I weighed both on a bathroom scale so the accuracy of these weights may be off a bit). You can read about more of the details on the Rogue Engineering webpage as well as see a video of the exhaust in action. I am still getting used to the change in sound and would prefer to have more in car time with it before I give any impressions.

Not much love for the performance mods on this site, saw your post on 1addicts. Glad you're liking it. When I decide to mod I think I'm either getting this exhaust or Berk.

That looks awesome man, the quality of welds alone speak for themselves !

Notice the smoothness of the bends, and the elimination of the resonator box, it's gonna flow very nicely.

Thanks posting those quality pics !

Sadly, I went back to stock. It was just a bit too loud for me at highway speeds. I must be getting old.

That's disappointing. Did you sell the rogue already?
