Installed today. Will get more/better videos in the near future. It's a snap crackle pop rasp crispy treat covered in drone. Wishing I would have went with RE Diablos or Stromung. Definitely sounds very Motorsport when driving with the top down. Oh well life's a gamble!

That's too bad. Their oval mufflers looked promising. I am sorry that this didn't work out, but thank you very much for taking the chance on these.
With that said, is there a definitive quiet muffler section for these cars? Not something that is quiet with all 4 stock cats in place. Right now I am really considering keeping the stock mufflers once I remove all the cats. I can't deal with the tinny rasp or drone and I guess at the end of the day I'd rather sacrifice a few HP then have a car that is annoying to drive.

Agreed, not my taste but thank you for 'taking one for the team' and trying them out. I suspect most of the rasp comes from eliminating the resonator in the x-pipe. If you were set on keeping them, you can maybe add a few and see if that helps. Quite popular with the E46M crowd (who experience more rasp than the E85/6M IMO) to add an AR20 resondator.

My thoughts exactly. After driving it around the sound has grown on me. Thankfully it's a weekend toy so I think I can live with it. The drone is killing me though. |

I have RPi mufflers paired with catless headers so I've basically given up on fighting that fight though lol. Wishing you the best, although I've heard nothing but bad things about the service from Status Gruppe over the last couple years. A lot of stories of them taking your money and not sending product for 6-12 months or longer, giving weak excuses along the way. I have heard that once you get what you bought the quality is good though.

Way too much rasp for me, that's disappointing. Thanks for taking one for our forums!

They are building one for a Z4M at no extra cost. They make cat less and cated section 1s for Z4Ms so it's no trouble at all for them to make a resonated section 1. |

I do. Its on my phone and it won't upload. I can send it to you if you think you can upload it. its just a quick rev after install.
And it sounds NOTHING like the SG video on the e46 m3 bumper. 1000% better. 0 drone, 0 rasp |
