Riss Racing or Berk Exhaust

marsel · 12-07-2010, 01:49 PM

Hey guys im going to be purchasing an exhaust for my 135. I can't pick between a Berk or Riss racing exhaust. Can I get your guys opinion? Thanks

i've got some great advice for you

ask questions like this in the general questions thread. it'll save the forum from pointless threads every week

I recommend Berk, the RR required some massaging to get it to fit perfectly and are very aggressive. They are also out of business.

"Technical talk specifically related to the twin-turbo engine, exhaust and drivetrain in the 135i"

Berk

I have Riss.

Of course I paid only $400 (slightly used) for a cat-back.

None If your going to do any of those, stay stock on the exhaust. I have AA currently and its a great exhaust, but one flaw is that silencer. I think the best Exhaust on the market currently is of course the most expensive(Meistershaft) or just do a simple custom exhaust.

Don't get the RR. It's hit or miss on fitment ... and mine was definitely miss. Plus I bought it when they first came out so I paid over $1k for something that took a LOT of work to fit. Sounds great though!

Brandon26pdx · 12-07-2010, 05:48 PM

I go straight for the Berk. Pretty sweet looking piece.

Definitely, Berk.

Looks good, right?

sorry if it came off impolite. a simple search would have netted you these valuable threads:

here

here

here

here

as you can see, every few weeks someone else starts a new thread exactly like yours (exhaust A versus exhaust B). by searching, you can find your answers that have been brought up and responded to countless times. it would limit the clutter this forum gets and keep the more important threads in view.

I'm very happy with my Berk Axle back (steel version).
