Options to make exhaust louder/wilder?

kaiv · 07-05-2016, 10:09 PM

I have a pair of Supersprint mufflers and a stock midpipe with MS track pipes (primary cat delete). It sounds very nice and "upscale", but my car isn't a DD and I wouldn't mind something a little wilder/crazier

Short of replacing the Supersprint with another exhaust, is there something simple I can do for a more ferocious/exotic note? Thoughts on resonator delete?

I want to keep the secondary cats as I don't like the smell of a full catless exhaust.

Ideas welcome!

Lose the secondary cats

Get an xpipe and you'll get exactly what you're looking for.

Get a high-flow catted and resonated X-pipe like this > http://m3world.com.au/product/high-flow-catsresonator/. You will still have the secondary cats to keep the smell under control and the resonators will keep any drone at bay. You'll get yourself the added aggressive note to the exhaust on top of the great sound of the Supersprint 'Racing' mufflers.

I have Dave's xpipe. 3" piping and Meisterschaft GT2. Pretty crazy. The Super GT would probably be even wilder.

I have a Dinan rear with secondary cats and resonators deleted. I don't think it drones too bad and it sounds pretty good. Definitely much louder than when I had the stock x pipe but can't compare from test pipes to resonator delete tho 😕

Find a tune that makes the car burble you don't have cats anyway

MMMCOOKIES55 · 07-06-2016, 07:28 AM

could always lose the mufflers

.

kb9uwu · 07-06-2016, 08:47 AM

just run headers

cenix · 07-06-2016, 04:02 PM

side exit exhaust. do it.

Richbot · 07-06-2016, 04:38 PM

The overrun tunes would add some character

Videos don't capture exhausts well. I'd recommend trying to meet up with someone local with the setup or something similar to what you want.

dparm · 08-18-2016, 05:16 PM

Remove the middle mufflers/resonators. It'll drone and get more raspy, but it should get louder.

SYT_Shadow · 08-19-2016, 05:58 AM

Kaiv

The issue is your mid pipe. I've run my car without a muffler and with a stock xpipe (for research purposes) and it was disappointingly quiet

I also ran my car with no xpipe or exhaust. Holy mother of DTM batman.

I now have an ESS HFC Xpipe and it's finally loud. Losing the cats would help it be louder, but it's already quite loud

pbonsalb · 08-19-2016, 06:48 AM

I agree on changing the midpipe.

infam0us719 · 08-19-2016, 01:54 PM

Straight pipe to mufflers!! If it's not a daily shouldn't be an issue. Smell doesn't get in the cabin too often for me

M3amigos · 08-19-2016, 10:56 PM

Lose the cats, sound > smell!

JohnEastvold · 08-23-2016, 09:26 PM

i have the 4 cats still on but did a resonator delete and X pipe muffler delete and its loud and very throaty. probably one of the loudest V8's around my area... highly recommend. it also backfires and pops

h4nh · 09-02-2016, 02:13 PM

Supercharge it.. it'll be loud

loveskiing · 09-10-2016, 02:37 AM

Rush out and get a new M4...that way you can pipe the sound into the car...it will sound louder...

Eh858 · 09-11-2016, 12:38 AM

If you want to be absurdly sound like me, run cat delete, straight pipe.... you will wake everyone up within a 3 block radius.
