Where does he live? Could get a custom system made up relatively easily.

I had a Milltek on my 3.0 Z4, not supirsied they don't make it. It was the worst exhaust to live with. It droned so badly I would get a headache driving it. I really stopped enjoying the car. Anyway, I lived with it for two months and removed it to sell on.

Went back to standard for 3 months which was bliss, but then go bored again. I then went for an ESS box, I had the supercharger from them anyway. It was gorgeous, much deeper, say 25% louder, but not intrussive, didn't drone either. I would definitely recommend it. You can buy one from a UK agent, Simpson Motorsport or CA Automotive. I don't see it on the ESS website anymore either, but give them a call, there English is very good, as are all Norwegians.

Longlife exhausts are experts at creating something special. A mate had them make a stainless steel system for a very rare Noble a few years ago - still looks good (but sound was not a priority). Check out www.longlife.co.uk

A few for you. Personally I think you have to be careful only to make the existing (beautiful) sound louder, and not change the note.
