Best sounding exhaust

[maw1124]

Want best sounding exhaust? Sell E46 and get something with S85. Obviously a joke, but not really...

[whistle!!]... Foul on the play... can't compare a 6 to an 8 as far as exhaust sound... carry on.

It is amazing how good an S85 sounds, one of my favorite exhaust notes I have heard in person.

One of, if not THE best sounding BMW engine ever. Even stock.

I've had the SS Sport on for a few months now and get the hype. Great quality, fit and nice refined sound. Still miss the El Diablo for its pure rawness up top but not for normal driving.

Should have gone all SS originally as many have said but my budget build is exactly to my liking sound wise so not changing anything at this point.

Fabspeed headers (BF special few years ago ) to Fabspeed catted section 1 (lightly used and a steal from m3forum member), SGT resonated section 2 (think it was $400 on sale and received in 4 days which has to be a record, lol) out to the SS sport (recent group buy)

Currently a CSL muffler from ECS/Turner is $1100, a US M3 muffler is $2100 from them.

True, but used they're $0-100, and they're not a part that goes bad...

CSL muffler is only 2 lbs lighter than stock, and that weight is in a pretty optimal location. Also doesn't flow any better than stock (not a knock-- stock flows great). Unless the price is pretty similar, CSL muffler over stock seems like a bit of a waste of money to me.

adding cats is a good idea. Go SS sport or street to avoid drowning out that airbox, maintain flow, but provide a better tone than stock.

Gents, I need a new exhaust.

Over the summer I installed a Turner CSLish airbox, and AA headers and the car already has the added resonator (AR20?) in section one and an AA rear muffler. During a track day the car got noticeably louder, so doing a nut and bolt check post track day I see that all of the muffler hangers have failed and the AA exhaust is now split in the back and is a big contributor to the car sounding like poo.

I'd really like a quiet exhaust. Without spending $8k on a full supersprint setup, or choking the motor down, what direction should I take?

Right now I'm leaning towards adding cats to the already resonated section 1, and an OEM CSL rear muffler. Thoughts?

Here is mine

I’m really considering a resonator like a vibrant ultra quiet in the section 2

The best I have heard is from a gent on IG that goes by the name jjjaacoobbb. His car to my ears sounds amazing. Sounds like a combination of airbox and exhaust.
