Adam Lz's M3 Exhaust Setup

[Altaran]

Let's not forget this classic.

That one always comes to mind when I see video no. 1246 of someone claiming to have the best ever exhaust of an S54.

Since we're sharing exhaust videos. This is the best exhaust note from an E46 M3 that I've heard on video:

BUT, as mentioned above, it's extremely hard to capture the horrible noises that most exhausts make at low rpm on this platform. WOT sounds great in this specific clip, but it's possible that I would find that setup unbearable in person, who knows. For now, I'm sticking to the quiet (stock) muffler and loud airbox formula.

you really do need to hear an exhaust in person and better yet, in car. no mic or internet video has ever been able to demonstrate the horrific drone our cars with minimal muffling are capable of between 2400-2800rpm

What "sounds best" is subjective of course. I've always thought this was the best sounding E46 exhaust clip I've seen.

It's a clickbait title, he makes his money off of youtube and its the source of his fame. People will buy the exhaust without having heard it in person and a single dyno plot being published. It could lose power for all we know.

Different strokes as they say.

Youtube's algorithm is also something they have to consider. A video titled "Nice Sound" will get less clicks than "THE BEST SOUNDING EXHAUST EVER MADE", and if your income is based on view counts, you follow the money. If you are an e46 M3 owner getting all of your opinions and direction from YT instead of this forum then you were probably a lost cause to begin with.

I think that sounds pretty good. Honestly I'm happy with how my El Diablo with resonators and CPI stepped headers sounds, but I do think the old El Diablo design is too restrictive, flow wise. I would be interested in switching to this if it is catted and keeping my headers was an option.

i always get annoyed when something as subjective as sound is touted as being the best ever on someone's specific vehicle and especially when they have a very large following base. now this Youtubers "opinion" on his car and how it sounds has now become the opinion of a large amount of people at once with no other context other than video. They aren't there in person to hear the intake/exhaust on and of Load, in and out the car, deal with the Drone or any other small intricacies of the exhaust note.

They could have easily made a video that said something along the lines of "Fantastic sounding E46 M3" but they chose to go with a factual like statement of "THE best sounding e46 m3 on the internet"

you have tons of people that follow him that will now go out in the world and tout this as facts and preach this all because they heard and saw someone on the internet say it.

Just watched the video and I dont hear anything unique about it that makes it the best.

other people online have posted clips that sounds extremely similar with different variations of exhaust tone.

it sounds like an M3 with a CSL style airbox.

I dont know, unless you have a lot of money there are other exhaust set ups that sound good at a fraction of the price. If you get it, its your duty to post good pics though!

The entire exhaust, including everything from headers to tailpipes, for $4200 and US built with quality steel... not bad pricing at all if the quality and fitment is good. Wonder if this is catless or with cats?

Too bad they aren't forthcoming with info.

I’ve been trying to find out the info on this exhaust too. Hopefully you get some pictures of it or some details!

are the RMS headers mentioned these: http://www.racemarque.com/product/rm.../#.YrIAtRbTUlQ

the guy running their instagram is not a wealth of information, but this is what I know:

-“full custom exhaust including headers (built to order)”
-stainless steel
-$4200

this is the only pic I was sent :/

[jet_dogg]

What kind of gains are we talking about?

[Casa de Mesa]

Is that section 1 and section 2 only, or does it include section 3?

[digger]

$4200 ouch.
