Whats in a name?

I say who gives a fuck, its your car, you drive it and if you enjoy the sound then go for it. If they really are the same exhaust, I wouldn't hesitate to buy the cheaper one anyways. Why spend the money if you don't have to.

[KaiserRolls]

If it's exactly the same then why spend more money?

Same thing happened to me when purchasing a full exhaust for my supermoto. I could have bought a 700-some dollar yoshimura titanium exhaust system, but after searching for a while, found an exhaust builder out of CA who worked with an engine builder and they developed a pipe that performed very similarly (a tad more peak hp) than the yosh pipe. Oh, and the pipe was over 300 dollars cheaper. It was made out of stainless (and it was about 4 inches shorter) so the weight wasn't much of a concern.

Is there any difference in customer support? build quality? (if anything were to go wrong)

So yeah, personally if it was literally an identical twin, who cares? save some quarters for the same sound; just my .02

Oh, and thanks for that video, sounds nice.

^ that's what I've been thinking, the only real concern was (and I know this is shallow) but I don't really want a Megan logo on it. Like I said it's shallow, but, the name just doesn't sound like it belongs on this car I'm sure I can get the tips re-polished to remove the logo though

Also, pics of said supermoto? ^

Go with the Megan parts and use the money saved to buy the CSL intake. That will give you more of the sounds you crave

Ohh the CSL intake! one of the best sounds out of a BMW ever! Its just a shame that you have to spend so much on the intake and then $1,000.00 on software

Here you go. My daily (except for winter)

owned it since '07. 14,xxx miles later as it sits

cosmetic/safety/relocation stuff are easy to see,

But I put in hotcams (in & ex) fcr-mx carb (a bitch to jet perfectly) full exhaust, airbox modification + k&n, etc.

Just go with ITB's. Screw intakes. ITB's with stockings rubberbanded over them for that old school race look.

^That's a sick looking bike!

I have ITB's

Or do mean stacks?? Because that would be awesome too, but even more money and work

[Brian.]

I keep forgetting M-series use ITB's. Yes, slap on velocity stacks as well.

Thanks! it's a lot of fun too! getting pulled over sucks though

[AvusHatesCones]

FMU has done it, I just wonder what the drawbacks would be, if any. I could see that being a lot of really hot air going in the engine, where as right now my intake brings in just over ambient temps into the engine. With air being pulled in through scoops in the front grilles and piping coming from the air duct next to the driver side fog light.

Getting pulled over sucks no matter what!

If you do velocity stacks you can run a plenum ontop of it, to have an air intake tube from the grill/headlight or foglight area. velocity stacks are fucking sexy sounding too. like, Omg wow sexy

[AvusHatesCones]

Well I guess that would essentially be the CSL box, six stacks with a filter right in front of them with a plenum surrounding it all.

[Brian.]

Guess so ;3
