Adam Lz's M3 Exhaust Setup

[MattMF1]

Spoke to someone at Castro. The exhaust from headers to section 3 is about $4200. Waiting on pics

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

I’m certainly in the minority here, reading both this thread and other noise related posts. I feel that rasp is just so indicative of this platform, what is the motivation to make it something it is not?

In my case, I love everything about this car except the exhaust sound, and that's trying 2 different systems so far. Different people like it for different reasons I suppose, as they do most cars, but even though we may like the overall platform, there are always things as individuals we want to change to suit our personal tastes.

Yes it will pass smog, I think Chris Castro told me it's about $2500ish. I know the tinny sound you're talking about, but I personally don't think this is the best sounding exhaust.

Any suggestions on a system that might also eliminate that tinny sound? 2500 sounds a bit steep but honesty, I dislike the sound that much that I would bite the bullet. The problem is it might be better to spend a bit more and just get a Karb airbox.

Good for him enjoying the M3, I've followed him since his BMX day's and he has put the effort in and now enjoying it unlike so many other youtubers that didn't build anything from the ground up and came straight from money/investors.

As for the CSL airbox the older I get the less impressive they sound unless on a legit CSL, I've heard 3 different brands over the years within the friends/mutual contacts group

EVOLVE/Karb/GSR and none of them sound as loud as a legit CSL, I'm convinced real CSL's are just louder due to less noise deadening in the dash area.

A friend had a CSL for a few years, biggest mistake he made was selling it. (they're 150k+ here now...)

Interesting to hear this.

Have you seen this thread per chance? Discussing that exact topic.

Damn, some sick burns in this thread

We should be happy he bought an E46 M3. This guy's driving up the market for people here who might want to get out. Also, who cares what he does to 'his' car.

Any reason not to buy supersprint at this money?

Honestly, I just wanted to see if anyone had this exhaust setup or knows anything on it on here. I am not sure how it ended up going off on totally unrelated tangents. I am particularly curious if it would pass smog because if it does, I am getting it. I have euro head. with a Rogue El Diablo now and though it's ok, there is that 2000-3500 rpm range where it just sounds very tinny, esp in warm/hot weather and it's the most annoying sound (to me) so I really want that get rid of it.

You’re like that bitter old man that posts on here 24/7. Your best accomplishment in life is an old 3series. How old are you again?

And you, with your 200k mile m3 worth $15k and yellow easy-oven ebay Porsche Boxster calipers

I feel personally attacked but also can't stop laughing because I also have a 200k mile M3 with easy-bake oven yellow brakes. 😂 Toby brought the heat.

Ya got me tobey.

I'm not sure either, but the fact that he resorted to personal attacks is very telling. His behavior is not unlike that of my 10 year old niece.

You’re in your 40’s/pushing 40 driving around in an old 3series with gold wheels constantly criticizing kids with the same car. Your car is not unlike that of neighborhood ricer kids car

I missed whatever has transpired preceding the posts in this thread (and could not care less, truly). But man, it's like you just walked into the Pink Floyd Fan Club and said The Dark Side of the Moon was crap and Gilmore's guitar playing was shit on The Wall!
