E92 M3 stock exhaust vs. Borla ATAK
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q26W7LWy4zk&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Took this from Turner Motor Sports' page for their description of the Borla ATAK: " This system is light, weighing in at only 34 lbs -- 21 pounds lighter than stock! This exhaust flows much more freely with less restriction than the stock rear muffler section, and features Borla's ATAK™ (Acoustically-Tuned Applied Kinetics) technology. This exclusive technology produces the highest available dB (decibel) levels in the BORLA® street-legal lineup, and is designed for high-performance purists who prefer exhaust notes over their stereos. The focus of ATAK™ is to pump the volume while retaining clarity of sound, at the same time avoiding the drone and distortion typically found in louder exhausts. With ATAK™, the sound output is tuned like a graphic equalizer to shape and focus sound waves for optimum high-volume output. It's made of the highest grade T-304 stainless steel, and has beautifully made symmetrical 3.5 inch quad exhaust tips." The sound quality on this is amazing and although I've been told that the change in HP & Torque is minimal at 3% of stock by Turner, I can feel the difference. Maybe because of the loss in weight? I also have an Evolve tune on my car which increases my HP by 10hp with increased throttle response so maybe they work well together. As I learn more, I'll continue to post and as I do anything additional to the car, I'll post as well.

Mainly, i joined this forum so that I can learn from other M3 owners who have much more experience than me. Short term goals: Intake, headers, KW Variant 3's, 18x10's w Hoosiers A6's (all obviously for autocross purposes) Any advice is greatly appreciated. how do you post the YouTube videos to the thread like that?

Welcome to the forum Rae. If what you have is just an exhaust, no gains can be had, but you will have a nice sounding car. To really see and feel a difference, I would suggest getting an X-Pipe with High Flow Cats, Intake, Pulleys, and Tune. Some folks in NY run catless, but fail emissions test. Also you should have done a baseline dyno before putting the exhaust on. Just my 2 cents, I'm pretty sure someone here can chime in and give better suggestions.

You don't really need all that power for what you are doing unless you want to move up class. KW V3 with EDC would probably do you more good than any other mods. Also put your car on a serious diet, Gixxer is selling his Roll Cage and Recaro seats. I have a list of things I want to do, but will have to wait till I move to NM.

Forget the headers, the ones that have been shown are vaporware and they don't really add any hp in the rpm range you will be using this car,forgetting the fact they are uber expensive. The factory headers are a work of art. Heres a pic of the S65, notice the OEM headers. Dave

yea that's exactly what I want it for. Who cares about horsepower? LOL. Bean by Bean, 5 hp here, 12 hp there, all of a sudden you're working with 475hp and lightening the car will definitely make that extra hp go a long way!

Hey, sorry for coming into an old thread, but I'm looking currently for a good exhaust.
This exhaust caught my attention both because of price and sound, so I was wondering if you could tell me more or less how louder is the ATAK system with just the axle-back and OEM x-pipe? |

E92 M3 Exhaust
Hey Guys, i'm new to this forum just reading some of the comments on different exhaust set up's great to see there are people out there that pass on information. i'm doing some mod's to my M3 and not sure on what to do with the exhaust, as i have recently found out the price on good quality aftermarket exhaust systems come with a hefty price tag.
Does anyone have some Dyno graphs to share with OEM exhaust to Aftermarket exhaust systems ? |
