Edition 30 bcs exhaust
« on: April 21, 2019, 03:07:54 pm »
Been undecided on what exhaust to get for a long timer or my edition 30. I only have a budget to get a cat back system. I have read good and bad about milltek but been looking at the BCS but I have a few questions
The difference between Bcs sports system and bcs Sports Prestige System
If I was to order a BCS system what sort of delivery time.

Also any videos of just the BCS catback system

BCS sports has a smaller centre box. louder
BCS prestige has a larger centre box. quieter

BCS are fantastic and have some of the best aftersales service I have ever experienced.

Not sure about lead times but give Nige an email and he will sort you out.


Buy BCS  :happy2:

If you have a limited budget, then the sports cat downpipe is where the power gain is. BCS have a lovely build quality.

I bought the BCS cat back sports prestige, its bloody lovely and not loud at all... I prefer a quieter life. It has a very understated burble and build quality is second to none. I went up there to see it put on and fitted... that's a 7 hr round trip  :doh: as I like to meet the guys who do bespoke stuff like this. You lose the suitcase but gain some very well built silencers. I waited about 3 weeks to get a slot but Nige says most of the work gets shipped out to customers with only a few actual on site fits in a week.

I think it would be a 7 hour round trip for me so I will be getting mine delivered. Have you and video clips as I can only find one were they have the full system

You lose the suitcase but they still charge a fortune for it  :grin:

I'd want a suitcase personally.  German cars use that style of silencer deliberately to reduce 'parachuting' and to tune the front-rear weight bias.

But no, just chuck it out and worry about the ramifications afterwards.....the usual aftermarket working practice  :grin:

One of the reasons I went BCS over others is to remove that back. All the aftermarket ones at the time were massive and hung down so you could see it from the rear which looks sh*te.

My milltek back down hangs down so can be seen from behind the car.

I haven't unfortunately you would need to speak to Nige about that. We did do a drive by and he did record it so I guess its in his archives somewhere?

@Powervalve Nige  Have you got an sound bites on this one?

I know what you mean, but I like it.  Especially on the M3 & M5.   Can't see the back box on mine (oem) from behind unless you're 3 foot tall.
