CSL Exhaust options?

[tomvcarter]

Ive just put a deposit down on a CSL, so hope to have it for the weekend, but interested to learn more about the best mods for the car.

Which aftermarket exhausts set ups are held in highest regard?

What are the options, and what are their pros and cons.
straight pipes? xpipes? lightweights? race? sport etc etc

Is it the one at Benham Wolverhampton?

That seems to have disappeared from sale

Depends what you want really:

Quiet/loud, full system, 100 cell cats, track day friendly, etc...

Most popular tend to be Supersprint, Milltek followed by Eissenman, ACS, etc.

OEM is good too but relatively heavy of course when compared to some others.

If you like loud,then Agency power are the dogs dangly's :smokin:

No it's the SB one in Scotland.

I don't mind loud so long as the quality of the sound is good. I would also prefer not to be hates by my neighbours, so prefer it to be quieter at low revs.
I had an Eisenmann race on an E92 in the past and that was not too loud, although the cold start was a little antisocial!
Is there ever a gathering of CSL owners where I might get the chance to hear some options?

I have a full Miltek system on mine and it sounds great! Not quite as crisp as the OEM system but with a significantly deeper tone. The only issue I've had is the CEL coming on from time to time, caused by the emissions sensor in the CAT's. This is easily fixed though with a little wifi OBD port plug and an iPhone app to check the code and clear it.

Good luck with the purchase, hope it works out for you!

Supersprint lightweight race - that is all you need.

[Pooky]

Does fitting a louder exhaust detract from the intake noise, which is surely one of the reasons for having a CSL?

+1 perfect balance of weight looks and importantly noise (which isn't over the top)!

I initially had a Miltek system and really didn't like it much at all; drone-tastic...

Here's mine with the Supersprint:

Not really - unless you have a GruppeM or straight pipes fitted, i.e. loud!

There was a small gathering last year.

Personally I prefer OEM as the CSL hardly needs any more noise, and the signature CSL sound comes from the front, not the back.

Ive tried full supersprint then mixed and matched with OEM and personally the best noise for me was OEM backbox, Supersprint cats and supersprint non res pipe.

Drive it for a while on the standard box mate,
It's got a great metallic rasp and doesn't sound
Like Kevin and perry driving through the town.
Also it's nice when someone comes up to you at the lights and
Says is that standard mate because it sounds amazing
And you can say yes.

Supersprint race, dixis titanium if you can find one. Stock if you want to hear the air box for awhile longer. Congrats on the purchase.
