Great Vids! We need to hook up again this summer. Any chance you'll be back up this way?

I will for sure be back up in Canada at some point next summer for 1 or a couple CSCS time attacks. We don't have those style events down here in America

hahahaha I just read this thread and got a really good laugh @ the avatar issue
I actually personally wasn't expecting anyone else to be using this avatar, but when I did see some others with it, I tried to change it to Yoshi or something, which is also one of my childhood heroes But this forum doesn't allow animated GIFs lol sorry OP, I wasn't personally about to tell you to change your avatar or anything, but I like yours the way it is now anyhow! Back on topic: I prefer SuperSprint sound on our cars. Everything else either has too much rasp, or doesn't sound as good up high. But that's just me I'm going with JVT headers, B&M drop-in filter, SuperSprint Race cannisters, and Active Autowerk ECU tune. This combo as-is should yield me at least 315rwhp, and around 260rwtq. I'm hoping for more in both hp & tq, but we shall see. If I can find a good deal on SuperSprint x-pipe and/or connecting pipe, I'll put those in as well =] Last edited by mfanatic325; 12-11-2010 at 07:58 PM.. |

Haha no worries on the Avatar thing, I was just too lazy to change it at first I just needed a little motivation lol. Yeah this exhaust thing is a real pickle. I like the S54 rasp (very distinctive) but the problem is nobody can make an exhaust video worth a damn haha. And I think there IS a big sound difference between the NA and Euro cars sound wise so you never know what car the exhaust is on. I also curbed two of my rims in a winter drifting...incident haha, so they're now officially my winter rims only. I might just say to hell with it and get the RPI "mufflers" for a season so I can buy some rims. |

Here is a video clip.... well more of a sound clip of my set up. Some people were wondering what my setup sounded like so I decided to go out and film it with a go pro. It is at night and the go-pro is mounted on the rear bumper next to the exhaust pipes.

haha interesting take on the recording there. I guess I'll do a recording once I get all my stuff installed.

As for US vs. Euro, I think the difference is in the intake and/or headers? One or both of those items are different on the Euro cars, no? Less stringent emissions regulations, etc. |

^euro spec z4m's only have primary cats in section 1 vs na spec z4m's with primary cats in the headers and secondary cats in section 1. as far as i'm aware, there is no intake differences between euro and na.
thanks for the video recording f360c. did u modify ur intake? honestly, the s54's song drowns out ur exhaust setup as the throttle is opened into the higher revs. |

That sound is ALL exhaust. I had the camera mounted low on the rear hatch right next to the BMW roundel pointed towards the exhaust tips. That way you could really hear the exhaust only and especially all the back fires.

And this how the RPI's sound, please ignore the dodgy Greek signs in the beginning...
I've got several in-car videos also. FYI they drone A LOT at 2.5-3.2k RPM...

GREAT video!! Yup I like that sound, with the NA exhaust manifolds it should tame them just enough to work. |

This video sold me on the rpi axle-back. I've heard some tales about the exhaust being too loud to live with. What's your opinion?

Rogue Engineering Diablo cans sound AWESOME - love the look - love the throaty sound - saved significant weight over OEM - sounds like a sport car now.

The rogue has come back into the running for me. I wasn't aware they had an X pipe option, so that'll work great if the cans turn out to be too quiet. And of course the price is right.
