          It looks to me as tho he has taken this off his car, got sick of it cluttering the place up, and spray painted it - in order to sell it

          It has certainly never been on a car, with that 'heat resistant coating' which could be a £5 can from halfords.....





          just my opinion

            Hi All,
            It's not the ceramic coating applied by Zircotec, but a spray on ceramic based coating: http://www.duplicolor.com/products/enginePaint/. It is supposedly better than regular VHT - neatens up everything anyway.

            Thanks.

                Good adds all round. Ceramic paint is a bonus, you've gone the extra mile - A*, now lets hope you reap the benefits. Why didn't you post it up on here? Less numpties than on ebay! :-D

                  Hi there

                  This is tempting for my track car!

                  Right now I've got a Milltek catback systems. Could I keep the lighter Milltek back box and fit all these CSL parts except the back box?

                  Will the CSL backbox be heavier or lighter than my Milltek, I have to say that CSL backbox looks much bigger!

                  What kind of weight savings are the headers, x-pipe, mid-pipe and cats over the stock M3 exhaust?

                    Thanks Neil. I didn't think anyone on here would be interested in a standard exhaust, I was obviously wrong

                      Hello there, the back box is still very substantial so you're better off with the Milltek, as to whether it fits I would suspect it does, as otherwise Milltek would loose out on backbox only sales. Please confirm with them first though.

                      The manifolds are very light as is the mid section, cats are noticeably lighter but not dramatically so.

                      I think there is a comparison on one of the M3 forums and somebody weighed the parts.

                      Thanks

                        Are you willing to break the parts?

                          I would be willing to take the back box out of the equation. PM me let me know your offer, and we can take it from there.

                          Thanks.

                              All, I have now split the system and sold some of it, below you can find what remains:

                              E46 M3 CSL Manifolds - These are higher flowing than the standard M3, and also lighter. I have included photos below which show the factory CSL stamps and part numbers.

                              £650 inc. delivery.











                              BMW E46 M3 CSL Exhaust Centre section - This is lighter than the standard M3 version.

                              I have included photos below which show the factory CSL stamps and part numbers.

                              £225 inc. delivery
