    Whats the best sounding exhaust you've heard on an m20

    I'm redoing my exhaust and i'm looking for the best sounding system on our cars. So what i'm asking is what you've got, or what the best sounding system you've heard is.

    I heard the m3 with stromung exhaust and it sounded great imho, but i'd like to hear it on an m20. Anyway, lets hear your opinions and sound clips if you've got them.

    i personally fell in love with magnaflow and glasspacks...so what i did was bought 16 feet of 2.5" pipeing a single 2.5" inlet dual outlet magnaflow muffler a redhots glass pack muffler and a highflow magnaflow cat(which will be removed and replaced with the glasspack) i dont know exactly how its going to sound cause its not installe dyet but it will be within 2 weeks i just finished purchasing everything now i need to wait till my next check to install it(god damn biweekly pay) but yea there is a sound clips section on this site with a couple of decent sound clips..i will deffinatly be taking some sound clips of before and after of my exhaust system so if your not planning on doing your exhaust for 2 weeks then ill deffinatly post a sound clip for your referance :twisted: i cant wait its gonna sound mean

        yeah, definitley get a sound clip of it when your done. I heard good things about the magnaflow muffler, but the sound clip on this site seems kinda raspy, could just be the recording though. If anyone has any more sound clips of the m20 with magnaflow point me in the right direction

        jweb besides the magnaflow muffler whats the rest of your setup?

          Stromung, no doubt.

          It sounds even better with a open-intake 24v. :twisted:

            If you don't mind dropping the $600+, it's definitely worth it. Sounds amazing.

              Stock without holes with a cone intake is the best sounding M20 to me. Droning/blaring exhausts turn me off, personally.

                  Jarvis, what happened to the Stromung you said you would sell to me?

                    one of my exhaust tips fell off so its a good excuse for me to get a new system, im thinking of getting straight pipes from the downpipe to a supersprint or maybe an ansa if i puss out on spending dough. how do you think this will sound, straight pipes to a more quiet muffler? opinions?

                        everyone's got good suggestions, but no sound clips. I'd really like to hear a few clips before i sink 600 dollars into an exhaust.

                            I found out it's too much of a pain in the ass to ship exhausts.
