Alright Alright !!! :smt044 :whistle:Originally posted by Windowlicker View PostIf its a minimalist race unit with no extra fat.....why have trims on it at all, why are'nt the exits from the backbox just that, 80mm round stainless tubes exiting the cylindrical chamber, they dont need conical inners that dont fit properly to be there at all.
Just a bit surprised like i say, a bit half finished in my opinion.

Is the BMSport race exhaust OK for trackdays or is it too loud? Assume it allows plenty of space for a proper diffuser - idea on the weight? Any pics?Originally posted by houlbt View PostLooks good Daz... glad you're pleased with it. I've had this exhaust (the race one on the left) on my car for a couple of years now.
What's interesting though is that my pipes don't have that twin rim look to each exit pipe like yours seem to have . I'm at a loss as to why that is and figure they must have altered the build process somehow.
As Daz says it is considerably lighter than an OEM exhaust (and also their other spec road version) but there is no doubt that it was still designed with the road driving public in mind if only by virtue of the fact it has 4 exit pipes.
A true race spec exhaust (say like the one BMsport has made for E46 racers) needs only a single silencer ... i.e. it's missing the extension and silencer box for the right hand side as you look at the rear of your car. Trouble is though I don't think many road going CSL/M3 drivers would like that look

Suspect it will be touch and go for trackdays but certainly no more so than the Supersprint Race. We were talking about options for this today with the fabricator.Originally posted by _Nathan_ View PostIs the BMSport race exhaust OK for trackdays or is it too loud?

It runs straight back yes so allows good space for a proper diffuser and weighs in at less than any aftermkt solution currently on the mkt. I can also get it made in titanium like I have on my race car if that floats your boat.

Daz,
Any idea how this back box will fair on the noise checks at track days?
Really like the look of that and if it does something for the performance then its a winner all round.
Only concern i have is that it would fail the checks at a track.
My next one is Croft @ 98db strict
BTW
car looks stunning :smokin: they just look so good dirty :thumbs:

Just for interest, std back box weight is 25kgs.:bigcry: SS lightweight race back box is 10kgs, weighed with wrapping/packaging, so saves at least 15kg's. That's the reason I have one. :smokin: Noise is very nice in combination with silenced SS centre section, which I'm currently running. Fairly sure most trackdays wouldn't be a problem with mine.
I found it not to my taste with 100 cell cats though but I'm sure some would love it.

Cheers Mate , think it should be OK as its the same set up as thorneys actual road car, which was ok for track days, as Alex says with the silenced SS centre section then its not as lairy, its just the right level of more race / rasp sound to it / but still with the induction roar not too in your face or embarrassing for day to day !!Originally posted by rstoughy View PostDaz,
