Try Remus, Supersprint Powerloops, or Eisenmann Sport. Rogue Diablos and RPI are known to be the loudest exhausts out there.
What's your experience with sports cars?

I would think a hole set of supersprint headers, cats, xpipe, powerloop would sound OP but again $$$ |

please take a listen to this car (at 6:00 mark)
Can anyone confirm, is it the x-pipe that gives it the totally different sound from the rest of the cars in the group? I find this car sounds more like a V6 than a I6. |

Rogue Engineering Mid-Pipe (replaces unmonitored secondary cats)
http://www.rogueengineering.com/rogue/MZ4EX/MZ4CP.html Rogue Engineering X-Pipe (replaces resonator) http://www.rogueengineering.com/rogu.../E85MZ4XP.html I have Rogue Engineering Diablo mufflers and am considering both of these upgrades. After Rogue responds to my RFI, I will update this post.

That's my car @ 6 minutes in the video. I think that it may perhaps have just been the way I happened to have driven the car during the recording of the video that made it sound the way it did?

On another note, does the X-pipe remove the backfiring characteristic (when you get off the throttle) of our cars? It's one of the things I really enjoy about mine. |

A non-resonated x-pipe should increase burbles, pops, and rasp.
I'm not convinced there's a huge performance benefit of aftermarket over stock though. I believe DKF mentioned it's an area you could pick up power, but I've never seen a convincing before/after dyno.

It will do a much better job of rasp and drone reduction. A little bird tells me that DKF has some in stock that they will move at a good price.

Only issue is the 300 cell cats that are shipping now.
That wouldn't affect you though either way, since you will be retaining OE manifold & cats.

Jumping in here... I know there's not much peformance gain for either, but X-pipe over mid pipes (section 1) for some increased noise that I sometimes miss from my srt4 (popping/ backfire)??

Muffler delete is fairly common for both M's and non-M's I believe, there should be some info available. What is the main question?

No way!!! I drove my cars with the mufflers removed and it sounded like an F1 car (not really)but it was very very loud. You will get pulled over in a heartbeat.

The previous owner included muffler delete pipes with my car when I purchased. He said he mainly used them for the track but had them installed when he showed me the car (go figure). I ended up keeping them on until I got aftermarket headers + x-pipe. No trouble from police, though I'm always feathering the throttle and driving at snail's pace if I know there are police around. If the Z4M is full stock exhaust + muffler delete it's doable in the streets, but it won't be quiet. I believe non-M is the same. I've seen some users post it up but haven't heard it in person. I have a friend who has muffler delete on his E46 and it sounds pretty damn good!

Lol! I've owned 2 extremely loud Cobra's in the past and this winter am making my M the same with a full exhaust. There is usually a 'sweet spot' in the exhaust note where you can feather it around town without being too loud.
