    Exhaust Update

    Well, I just can't stop myself from messing with it.

    This time around, I cut out the Borla and replaced it with a Dynomax 17776 chambered 3" in, 2x 2.5" out muffler. It is *barely* possible to get this monster in and plumb in two tips.

    Net-net, the exhaust is quiet now. I will freely admit that the WOT growl isn't nearly as satisfying. Unfortunately, I'm apparently getting old, and I put around 10,000 miles a year on this car. (Which is quite a lot when you keep in mind that I walk to work most days.) The exhaust is now the next best thing to drone free - I don't really count uphill at 1700 RPMs in 6th gear as droning.

    Fortunately, I won't be wasting the Borla. It will find a home in the M3.

    Net-net, I'm pretty much at nando's recipe. It's too bad that dynomax doesn't make this thing in stainless. That's kind of offensive to me, but it's not like I can't easily weld a new one in when (if) it's ever needed.

    Good to hear. I'm quite sure that's very similar to the one that I ordered for my setup being welded in next week, except mine is a single in single out to work on my car's smaller cutout (318i).

      Ooh. Did you keep the Helmoltz tube? These truck mufflers are ginormous and it'd seem kind of difficult to fit all that up there.

        It got cut apart to supply my tips. There is room for it, but it isn't necessary.

          Can someone point me to the previous thread that talked about the Helmoltz Tube, a search didn't come up with anything but I remember reading it on r3v. I'd like to take a shot at it as my exhaust is pretty quiet except for some low rpm drone.

          Thanks,

          Seth
