Removing the resonator on the Z increases RASP, the sound a tad bit. Not worth it. As far as power gains, I believe not a single hp increase. |

I had a Euro header, DKF Section 1 (running 300 cell cats), stock x-pipe, and SS Powerloops. I swapped the x-pipe with RE and it did get a bit louder. Pretty subtle, but noticeable. Rasp marginally increased.

1) The S54 is a finicky exhaust to get the sound right IMHO. Our cars aren't like the E46 M3s, but I've heard a few videos that I'm just not a fan of. With full cat delete, you'll have a rasp and that annoying buzzing sound. I6's don't sound good when you go full cat delete unless you've got the right exhaust and some sort of resonator at the very minimum 2) I've got full cat delete on my E92 M3 (just the stock resonator with Eisenmann Race, sounds absolutely epic). I'd never do this on my Roadster because when you come to a light, you'll smell all the fumes. I love the smell of "race" cars as much as the next person, but I don't want to show up to work or dinner smelling like car exhaust. if I were in your shoes and absolutely want headers, I'd just get headers and put stock S-pipes back on. You should be close to where you are now (I think) P.S. I agree with you about the Z4M. For the money, I really struggle to think what else I'd rather have. Out of the E36 M3, E92 M3 and Z4M, it's easily the currently move driven car in the fleet. Still super happy 3 months into the ownership.

Bummer well that sucks! I'm not sure what the rasp actually sounds like but from what I've read nobody likes it

Update- Enjoying the sound a bit more these days. Really don't want to sell the Stromungs, so trying to adapt to it. Essentially I love it with the top down, but dislike with top up.
Also the car gets looks & attention now that it never did with the stock exhaust. Last edited by VindieselJetta; 04-17-2017 at 04:34 PM.. |
