Matt from OG picks up an E46 M3

[Onefastsicilian]

watched the video last night, car looks great! Love the build man.

I was shocked to hear him say the e46 sucks in stock form. We all know it wasn't the greatest stock but theres far worse out there lol

Thanks guys! I take no credit for my build - it's just as basic as all of the rest of us

I do find my car extra buzzy and raspy in the low end, especially around 3k rpm. Which is odd considering I have the dual resonated section 1, and stock section 2. I'm wondering if swapping the section 2 for the dual resonated supersprint would make a difference. Not that I dislike it though, it sounds incredible from outside the car at WOT.

Scza is extra buzzy/boomy. I got rid of mine after 3weeks with it. The Dixis I replaced it with got rid of most of the buzz but lost some volume.

and I wouldn’t consider carbon fiber roof to be basic I’ve never seen one in NC with one besides mine

I got the single pipe SS resonated back on the original BF sale, combined with your same CPI rasp pipe and have been quite happy with the sound. It looks like you don't have cats though? That could be a big factor too.

Not for me. After maintenance, getting rid of the rasp was my #1 priority. To me it sounds so bad it kinda ruins the whole car.

To each his own my man. Some say bees in a can. I say chainsaw buzz

It's mostly the stock section 2. You could either do the SS dual section 2 or pair the stock section 2 with cats in section 1 and it will sound something like this:

I prefer to compare it to a kazoo.

Ok, i just watched the whole video and that is not true
btw the first video you posted was better

This is more like it:

This is great, especially the source. lol

Yep - I am catless.I figured the resonator in the stock section 2 was substantial enough, but maybe without cats I need something else if I want to tone out a little more rasp. Do you have a video tnord?

If I can get my hands on a supersprint section 2 dual piped resonated, I'll give that a shot. Tbonem3 had some bad things to say about how it sounded though.

Supersprint single-pipe resonated sect 2 and race cats in sect 1 is the way to go IMO if you are looking to tone down the rasp. I run this setup with Euro Headers and even with the SS race sect 3 which is on the louder side it’s less raspy than the OG video.

Clean car btw…even if Matt doesn’t like it!

I do not have any video. Best I could possibly get is an iphone video if that helps at all?

[Tbonem3]

Imagine not liking the sound half of a 90's formula 1 engine makes

[tnord]

lol. F1 engines sound nothing like an S54.

[Tbonem3]

FYI, it's the H pipe in Sect 2 people are probably not liking.

The 2.5" supersprint dual pipe's larger diameter seems to mask it. Unres, there's too much drone, so get resonated.

It still will sound like ass, but the power is good.

So far, people have only been willing to admit to me that it sounds like ass in PMs/DMs. You know how it goes. No one's allowed to criticize a new product from a "trusted manufacturer." Looking at you covid vax

The best sounding sect 2 is the SGT x pipe, but it fits HORRIBLY and having SGT parts might make you feel ill. At least you can find them used and avoid dealing with Mike.

SS x pipe also sounds good. A guy in the know told me unres actually sounds better than res. if worried about drone, make sure you have res or cats in sect 1 and a muffler with at least SOME packing.
