What's the best sounding exhaust ?

[mattCSLnut]

My set up sounds deeper and slightly more burbly/raspy than Robs -

SuperSprint 100 cell cats
SuperSprint Resonated Centre
SuperSprint lightweight BB (not race version as is on Robs)


Love it :supz:

I'd love to hear that on full chat :drool:

I had the Miltek Mk.2 full system, boooooom-tastic, made worse with 100 cell cats.

I now run standard system (and standard cats) with SS Race Lightweight backbox - it amplifies the CSL 'rasp' nicely and is rather less droney than my old Miltek. :thumbs:Also looks better too imho, and passes noise testing with 97db at most places i have been - except Oulton where it was 101db?! :smt102

Hmmmm... pleasant, but a little too muffled for my liking

Actually, under hard acceleration, it's slightly louder than the Miltek i had - but in a 'more pant straining' way - to my ears anyway! :supz: :whistle:

Exhaust noise is always very subjective and everyone has a preference of course. I simply tired of the Miltek as it droned too much for my liking and sounded more like a Porsche C2S from behind than a CSL! I have track side footage of my car (with Miltek) following another CSL (with standard exhaust) round Castle Combe and my car sounded dull and boring in comparison to the other :banghead:

Only one (reasonably priced) option and that's SS lightweight backbox. It sounds great, looks great and weight is only 10kg's not 20. Standard back boxes are 25kg's+.

I have std cats, SS silenced centre section with SS lightweight BB. Very pleased. Rob swopped to his current SS backbox after a Miltek and after listening to mine at CC. Robs flyby is a reasonable representation of the sound but still doesn't sound like it does in the flesh. His car sounds lush and so does mine.:gayfight::hahaha:

I love you too Alex!

Only exhaust i would have considered over the stock setup is a Kreis-Sieg. Just a shame its about £6k!

A full Supersprint (incl. mani and race cats) is close, but doesn't have the advantage of having a quiet mode like the Kreis-Sieg.

That's all as may be but 99.99% of the time you are sat inside your car listening to it... what's the best sounding exhaust from inside?

I have a Miltek on from buying the car a few weeks ago and when you are on one it sounds great but at low revs sounds awful...

Straight pipe .... nothing beats it on the s54B32 :thumbs:

Standard pipe with a Gruppe M back box.

Has anyone on here heard off or had experience with a " Larini " Club Sport back box ? There is one on fleeBay at the mo.

Does anyone on here know how a combo of Super-Sprint 100 cell cats + standard CSL back box are going to sound. I've managed to source a standard Genuine BMW CSL specific back box at a very reasonable price. :thumbs:
