E46 m3 exhaust setup! I need recommendations

[BinBuilt]

So I’m running dual oem resonators section 1, and Megan headers but rest is stock, just curious because I wanna get a lot more sound and I was wondering what was the loudest possible setup for e46 m3 while keeping the 2 resonators, I’m chasing a loud setup because I’m gonna track it but occasionally on weekends drive it, just looking for the most terrorizing setup lol,

I'm no expert but don't they have db limits when you track cars?

Sorry, but I think these cars can sound terrible when they’re quite loud. Make the induction sound amplified and you’ll have something enjoyable.

Would you recommend the turner intake? I have heard from some people that one is pretty good or is there any other you would recommend?

last I saw, the Turner intake was expensive enough to take it off the list, compared to the other available options, not sure why you would choose that over Karbonious or Evolve.

I have the Haimus racing airbox with Kassel mss54 conversion.
Karbonius is highly rated as well. I can’t speak for the Turner box, but it’s very common and likely performs just fine.

CSL style airbox is one of the things that makes our cars unique. It doesn’t add a lot of HP, but the sound is what makes it worth it.

Turner box owner, satisfied with it. Comparing with the hoses, clamps, filter, etc - it was right around $1k cheaper than Karbonius when I bought it on sale last year. Was readily available and in stock domestically (not sure if people are getting hit with additional tariffs/charges for those shipped from overseas).

After doing the upgrade, I understand the sentiment. Transforms the driving experience in a beautiful way.

These cars aren't new anymore so chasing a loud exhaust that will sound terrible just makes you look bad lol.

But for loud loud, SS Race.

Will sound terrible and like a Honda.

What could sound good: Dinan, Scorza, Eisenmann

What is cheap: Megan Racing, Gruppe M Replicas

Exhaust sound preference is so subjective. I've got the full Supersprint 2.5" system with cats, resonated twin pipe section 2 and race section 3 and like it. If you just want it loud, run straight pipes, but it will "sound" terrible.

The Sunbeam racing section 3 is always an option and does sound good WOT, but like Grey Phox said, db might be an issue.
