CSL Exhaust options?

[shimmy]

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.

Only cos your SS back box was fooked

Supersprint lightweight race - that is all you need.

Good starting point without doubt:thumbs:

Too many exhaust modifications make the exhaust sound like a trombone has been stuck on the exhaust, like the 3rd/4th car "M3 BXD" in this clip.
What set up is it? As that is not my cup of tea.

I would like to increase that raspyness without that deeper parpy trombone sound! I'm loving the stock sound but could do with a little more so the same; I think is sounds best when cold where it is particularly raspy, but that quickly dies down once its warm.

Whats the best way of maintaining and enhancing that initial raspy sound once its warmed up, without fundamentally changing the exhaust note?

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.

Change to Supersprint cats.

stock with ss x-pipe if you want rasp. If you want bass and very decent sound its the ss race with stock cat.

If you want light weight and a superior sophisticated noise thats not over the top until you truly open the taps its Dixis.

Video's never do the exhaust justice, so only real way is to either listen to them in person or buy and try.

I was looking to get a SS Race, but never found one in my neck of woods and this Dixis came up. Paid a premium, but dame, every bit as classy and sophisticated as people say throughout the forums. I got my recommendation from my old lambo forum friends who had it on their M3.

In the UK it should be easier to get SS Race, so I'd be going that route if I was looking for more presence, but if you just want rasp, look at an super sprint x-pipe. I had it on my E36 M3 and it rasped like a bitch in a very nice way.

Which is the ss x-pipe?

but if I were to pay for the above I'd buy a SS Race used from someone.

I've looked at these videos so many time its not funny and the above seems to provide the best sound on youtube of a SS Race (ignore the shite background music). You can never go wrong with a Supersprint. :hahaha:

there's one forsale on the forum

here's another side by side comparison video. Not the best thing when you are just revving it, but you get the idea that the SS Race has more bass

anyones cesil from here?

more ss race

non of the video's can replicate the actual sound of the exhaust.

I had to take a leap of faith for my DIXIS and dam, its pure music from the cesil + the airbox. In enclosed areas, the exhaust sounds breathtaking for a inline 6. I'd prefer the SS Race as its not titanium (dun have this titanium tinny noise at low revs), but no luck for me in getting one.

As sods law would have it, I got the DIXIS and then the above SS Race appeared :bigcry: I would have brought it and got my mate to bring it back to me. :banghead:

These were sold within 48 hours

Bloody bargain

Hope you bought these Yanto!!

I've also got the Dixus and love the fact you can hear the induction noise and yet the exhaust note sounds amazing.
The Dixus is also mega light and looks a work of art if you can find one?

Cheers Jamie
