Supersprint and drone and rasp

[Rkymtnrider]

With the supersprint GB going on, I have a question about drone. I think I remember obioban saying there was no drone with the street muffler and the resonated section 2 would prevent my car from sounding like a jet ski. Would that also apply to the sport muffler?
I’m planning on getting SSv2 headers with catted section 1, resonated section 2, and trying to decide on either the street or the sport.

I currently have unknown catless headers, stock sec 1 and 2 and Megan racing muffler. It sounds amazing above 4000 rpms but is waaayy too loud 80 % of the time. My friend can hear the car coming up the canyon from more than a couple of miles away. It also drones and stinks. Any help would be appreciated.

Ultimately, I’d like no drone, a deep throaty sound when in the high rpms, and a more civilized sound output with lower rpm. so I don’t have to bog the engine when driving past the trooper’s and the sheriff’s homes in my neighborhood.

THANKS

That is THE question with the S54 and these aftermarket exhausts. More sound from headers seems the clear answer. After that, it gets murky. If you can deepen it and kill the rasp, that seems like the way to go. But opinions vary widely on exactly how to do that, and part of that variance is FI v not, Track v not, etc.

I have a full supersprint exhaust, headers, race cats, resonated section 2 and sport muffler. Zero drone, zero rasp. I highly recommend this setup.

I have SSV1, SS Catted sec 1, 60mm res x pipe, and race muffler and feel like drone is still minimal, but everyone has different tolerance levels. I don't do a lot of highway driving.

If you're local and want to hear the setup we could probably meet up sometime.

The sport (and race) drones.

If you’re doing the section 1 either way, you should really go V1. The ONLY benefit of the V2s is that they work with normal section 1s. Otherwise, worse.

I personally love my setup but its a mixture of a bunch of different parts from different manufacturers. I currently run euro headers (catless), dual resonated section 1, supersprint resonated x-pipe, and a rogue engineering el diablo section 3. There is still a tiny bit of drone I get from 2500-3000 rpm. I previous had a stock sec 1 with only 1 resonator that has significantly louder drone across more of the rom band. To me, this is the perfect sound level because I can still drive in a fairly quiet cabin at highway speeds (avoiding the drone rpms band). This is perfect because I can easily have conversations with a passenger or drive long distances without giving myself headaches. Once you get above 4000 rpm, the sound comes alive. The videos below can give you a decent idea of the sound level. The second link is of a review inside my car, so you can tell what type of sound level is in the cabin at normal cruising speeds.

You can't do anything about the stink unless you get cats. Best option there is a euro style cat setup in section 1. I'm not sure how that changes the sound though.

You have any sound clips available for your setup?

My SS Sport did not drone either with stock headers and Borla mid section. With SSV1, SS noncat sect1 stock sect2 it drones, and rasp.

Here is a recent video on the dyno at Kassel.

I had a ton of drone with my V1s, catted section 1, oem sec 2, and race muffler. I also have drone with the same setup but with a Dinan muffler, which isn't supposed to drone 🙃.

I have 63.5 SS Headers>SS Cats>SS Resonated Section 2>SS Sport Muffler Gen 2.

I respectfully disagree that this setup creates no drone. There is definitely drone. I’m replacing the brakes this weekend and will record after a bed-in cool down. 55-85 miles an hour there is drone. The recording will come with a caveat that the car is stripped, but I could argue that gives you a better understanding of the exhaust characteristics. Rasp is largely eliminated.

I decided to do the v2 based on “Up to 300whp: 60mm kit, 300 to 400whp: 63.5mm kit. Resonators highly recommended to limit drone.” The cats have always been my main goal, and spending 5g’s on an exhaust is a bit excessive. With that said, If I were to decide to sell the supersprint system, I can still keep the cats. Basically it allows for more flexibility and I don’t ever see myself searching for more hp to really allow the v1 to shine.

That statement is true— you won’t actually get to exploit the way the V1s are better than the v2s below 300rwhp. It’s just… if you own the car long enough, inevitably you’ll be there.

No drone with Stradale?
