Exhaust choice and advice
Well. Here in my location there are few car tuner places and few choices on tuner parts. Well. I came accross this shop that offers 2 types of exhausts for my E92 M3. Both by supersprint. Now. The one piece is street performance and the 2 piece is race performance. Im all for the sound enhancement of the car. Not really carrying too much for the hp increase. I mean. Come on 414 is good enough for me. But sound wise I would like to know which one would be a better choice. I will provide the pictures of the two. Like I said. I will chose between one of the two. Just which one I got no clue since I cant be like install one than the other to see which one is louder. Also. Is it illegal to have race exhausts in the USA? I will be moving to South Carolina in February and kinda need to be on the lookout for stateside laws. Thanks in advance for all/if any comments or advice. Like I said. Im looking for a sound improvement towards the standard exhaust note. The louder the better. lol

I don't know exactly what you mean by "race" exhausts. Generally, if you delete the catalytic converters that's a no-no. I believe there are also state laws that are stricter than the federal laws. I believe the penalty in Maryland for mucking with your exhaust is life imprisonment and a million dollar fine. It used to be the death penalty but they're trying to do away with that here.

race exhaust will be louder. Neither mess with emissions, so forget about that. If you would like a louder exhaust, then just get the race and don't look back. There are Federal noise statutes, and some states in the U.S. might be more strict than others, but I don't think you'd run into problems anywhere.
You said you want it loud, so just get the race. End of story. |

I haven't heard either exhaust so I can't advise which one to get. But, the race is louder. If you can wait until you reach the states you will have more choices.

I had the race version of this exhaust.... for about a week. I didn't like it at all, it was quite annoying from inside the car. Although outside really sounded pretty good. Build quality is top notch. But the tone of this exhaust would just resonate like crazy from inside the cabin.

Yes, and actually it is a Federal offense, as well . . . if you get caught.

LOL, I don't think that was a positive review of the exhaust.
