That's correct. Made by Ericsson and the claim some big hp gains but never proven by private party.
The system is about 12 to 15 K, insane. Do not know of any member who's bought it.

Seen the same exhaust online a few days ago for the first time. They want you to spend ~$12,000 for their exhaust that claims ~25HP (i dont remember price and hp claim off the top of my head)
You can buy evosport headers + exhaust + pulley and get the same or more HP, and your spending a hell of a lot less.
"Coolness" factor here because of the design of the tips. I think it's just titanium heated up and it turns that color.

To quote M5Ranger: "The "one and only one" is from Japan. In the video it sounds so good because of sound accentuation. Driving in an empty enclosed race track the sound reverberation is incredible. It's like driving and revving in a tunnel. It's bull. Oh and BTW it will cost you approx. $12K. They claim 38 bhp but I have never seen any independent results."
Looks great though. As avlnch said, get SS/evo/RPi headers and RPi/ASR system instead!
I too was awestruck by those OneAndOnly vids... That is definitely the sound I'm looking for!
As far as looks (blued tips), I believe any titanium exhaust can be had with that look. I know of 3 other manufacturers of Ti exhaust:
Meisterschaft (about double the SS price)
Dixis (Japanese = $$$)
Encore Innovation (fairly priced, about SS price)
I'm more concerned with the sound (youtube vids) and performance (I'm fine as long as it doesn't lose HP/TQ). The tips are just a "NICE TO HAVE" for me.
I am seriously considering the last option (Encore Innovation) but am reluctant due to the fact that I can't find any reviews on it. I posted in the M6 side if anyone has any experience with them but got no replies.
Have any of you M5 owners ever tried Encore Innovation?
Thanks!
