Show your mufflers

Bostonbmw, where in va are you and how much did mbs charge? I'm contemplating having them do my exhaust (I was very pleased with the work they did on my mini).

I just watched your videos what do you consider your exhaust sound level to be ?

It's my daily, so I needed it to be bearable. I've been through 4 different middle mufflers, and 2 different sizes of piping to get it right. From a 1-10 (10 being the loudest) I'd say its about a 6.5 or 7. It purrs very nicely while cruising, but you definitely know when you start to push it! It screams on WOT as you hear on the dyno video! :pimp:

With the 3", regardless of the center muffler used (Borla XR-1 or Accelerator), it was too loud. It sounded sick on WOT, but droned like hell on the highway.

When I switched to 2.5" the Big Accelerator muffler made the exhaust too quiet for my liking, so I switched to a straight through resonator, which was the loudest setup of all! Surprisingly if the windows were up there was no drone! It sounded super aggressive on anything over 1/2 throttle, but got me too much attention by the cops.

Next, I tried a Spintech in the middle, which was too quiet, and raspy for my taste. Finally I put the Borla in the middle and it's perfect! I'm huge on exhaust, it's my favorite characteristic of a car, so it has to sound good for me to enjoy the drive. ;)

I eventually want to get some euro headers > a nice X-pipe > dual 2" > dual resonators > Y-pipe > 3" > my Vibrant muffler!

The Vibrant is what gives my exhaust it's tone. I love it to death! Easily my favorite muffler on our motors! :D

It's loud because of the Magnaflow at the end. If you ran a Borla it would clean up the exhaust note and quieten it down. Or, you could put a second muffler in the middle instead of the resonator. That resonator isn't doing much for you as far as noise level.



That's gonna be loud as fuck!



It's the Ebay headers that's making it raspy. A Borla or Vibrant muffler would clean up the note quite a bit. The Magnaflow has a raspy sound to it because of the packing inside of it. Borla/Vibrant > Magnaflow any day!:woowoo:

Ya think? I had a Thermal muffler on my Z31 back in the day and it wasn't too loud. I'll also be filling in the exhaust cutout on my RS-1 rear bumper and running a turn down.

Seeing no exhaust from the rear for the muthafucking win!

If it's too bad I may add a small muffler in the middle like you did. At this point I'm just trying to get the car on the fucking road already!

I'm excited for you bro! You better post an exhaust clip! :hitler:

Yes but it is specifically in the 24v DOCH SWAP section. That means we want to see swap exhaust set-ups. It's ok though, we'll let you slide this time.



Zing!
