RES catback Exhaust system for M40i

So a few days ago I was involved in a hit and run and was rear ended and my modded exhaust got f'up. So what do I do...scoured the internet and found this in China https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6RiDgMZ0ig. It comes either in SS304 or titanium with 4 different color variations. The catback exhaust comes with a midpipe, a dual valved muffler, quad tips and a remote control kit for the valves with a keyfob remote.

I just placed on order for the titanium system in blue and was told it will take 10-15 days to make. Once made it will be shipped by UPS and will take another 7-10 days to reach the US.

So the price that I was quoted SS304 system $1625
Titanium system for $2475.
Shipping to NY $550 through UPS.

I will update with install pics once it arrives and take more videos when driving. Hopefully it all works out.
Here is their contact info I found if you have questions.
Email: info@res-exhaust.com
WhatsApp/WeChat: +86 18126632202

Here are some of the pics they sent to me

Have you had anything shipped overseas via UPS? I’ve seen them charge outrageous import/customs fees on foreign shipments. Might want to do some research on that. Just FYI.

Very sweet looking exhaust, can't wait to hear your impressions. The best shot seems to be that one of OEM next to RES. Looks like the muffler is smaller--maybe get a little be more good noise?

Did they give a weight difference between titanium and SS?

BTW, what would the price of OEM have been?

I’m sure you found this? Low quality, but an idea

Sorry I really didnt ask about weights one either ss or titanium. I have to assume it will be lighter if its really titanium.

Local dealer quoted 1800 plus tax for stock exhaust.

got damn that's solid value for a system that keeps the valves. Weld look okay in the pics, interested in quality once you get it

nice find

I saw the same exhaust recently and reached out. I need something that won’t break the bank and this seems like it might be the option.

Man that looks great! Definitely looking forward to the results.

See that's the thing about China... as they develop more and more, they're starting to make some quality parts. People talk about crappy Chinese made stuff, but they're starting to develop some pretty interesting and nice car scene over there. And with it comes some quality parts.

This is no longer the same China 30 years ago.

tons of videos of their exhaust installed on other makes and bmw models on YT, plus I've read they produce exhaust for other companies that sell them as their own brand.

Looks amazing under the car! How much work is it to install yourself provided you have a lift?

Dont know, those pics are from the manufacture. I haven't gotten the exhaust yet.

But in general to remove the stock exhaust is to unbolt some crossbars and disconnect from DP.

I know some guys have removed the system while the truck is on jack stands, So having a lift will certainty make removal faster.

LOL Im just gonna cut the stock exhaust in sections since the new one comes in sections and I can slip past the cross braces. Thus make it easier to store and just reweld if I need to put the stock one back on I guess...

I don’t know if easier, but I wanted to do it at home (w/ a skilled friend) rather than take it somewhere

Was maybe a couple hours…very straightforward tbh

This was the Stone cat back system
