ARTIGIANATO Italy FULL Exhaust!!
Hey everyone! I'm putting the car for sale  so it's time to get rid of my most prized possession on the car - my ARTIGIANTO Italy exhaust! I'm not sure if most of you have heard of this company, and that's because they are produced in EXTREMELY small batches, and they are practically impossible to find in the US as they never started distributing them here. A buddy of mine had them as a sponsor on his car, so I got lucky enough to get my hands on one. I have a lot of experience with E9x M3 exhausts, and have installed plenty. I can safely say this is THE best fitting exhaust on the market, right on par with Akrapovic. The craftsmanship is amazing, and it is all T-304 Stainless Steel with TIG welding. Soundwise, this is one of the best sounding exhausts I've ever heard on an E9x M3. Period. It has ZERO, and I mean ZERO drown. It's throaty, but tight, and has a very exotic sound to it. Mine is the "Hand-Brushed" finish that is well, brushed by hand  I've had the axle-back on for about 4,000 miles, and the mid-pipe was never installed. My mid-pipe was the catless one, but my buddy who is sponsored by ARTIGIANATO has a new catted version he never used, and if the buyer wants it catted, he says I can swap it for his extra one. The mid-pipe makes this a header back exhaust. A la Akrapovic, the mid-pipe has an H AND X pipe, and that's what gives it that amazing exotic-car sound. I have to take a bunch more pics, but here are a few from when I first did the install. I will post sound clips tomorrow for you guys! Pricing: Axle-Back: New: $3,500 + int'l shipping Mine: $2,000 picked up, $2,100 shipped Catless Mid-Pipes (never installed!): New: $2,700 + int'l shipping Mine: $2,000 picked up, $2,100 shipped Catted Mid-Pipes (never installed, can swap for catless from friend): New: $3,000 + int'l shipping Mine: $2,300 picked up, $2,400 shipped Any questions, let me know!   |

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

I am located in South Florida. Shipping is not an issue, as I can use my companies FedEx account and get the shipping rates down a bit. If someone wants the FULL exhaust, shipping will only be about $125. Last edited by 1bade92; 05-25-2011 at 11:35 AM.. |

OP and Andy know each other, both have the same type of exhaust, thus OP used Andy's pictures to show the tips. So from my understanding.... they each have an AW e92 M3 with an Artigianato exhaust, but they're different cars.

They are adjustable tips, and are polished, with a slant cut.
