I just installed Corsa in my E90 M3. I love it! Job was done by GMP in Charlotte, NC: https://gmpperformance.com/index.cfm...8#imageSet_358
I recorded how it sounds. It is done by cheap pocket cameras and a GoPro Hero camera, but still sounds great. |

I don't have the best videos right now, since I finished up the installation late the other day. I'll get some better ones soon. The biggest difference is not the revving but in the sound when the car is pulling. And, as always, the videos do not do exhaust videos justice.

I assumed the car on left is Corsa and car on right has Performance exhaust with Challenge street x-pipe. Video below has Corsa with Challenge street x-pipe. ??

That's correct. I should have stated that better. The sedan is mine; the coupe is my friend's. The top video is my Corsa by itself, on the left. The coupe on the right is a BMW Performance exhaust with a Challenge Street X-pipe. The bottom video is a clip of my car with the Corsa paired with the X-pipe that we removed from my friend's E92.

As soon as I get some time, I'll get some videos of the car as it is now. However, you'll have to rely on other people's videos to compare with the Corsa without an X-pipe. I never got any ride-along or fly-by videos with just the muffler.

It was a very pleasant experience for me too.
That is one minute version of my Corsa video. I love the sound more and more every day. Last edited by polonus; 08-31-2012 at 11:44 AM.. |

How much of a difference did the challenge street pipe make? Did you add it because it was too quite with just the axle back?

I went to the Corsa exhaust because my OEM mod began to rattle after a year or so. I didn't want to open the muffler back up to troubleshoot where the loose connection was, so I went aftermarket. I chose the Corsa, but it wasn't what I was used to. The OEM mod wasn't boomy at all, and it was very high-pitched and somewhat raspy (which I like). But the Corsa added some low-end bassy sound, and it wasn't as high-pitch as I was used to. It's a great exhaust, but I felt that it was missing something after about 5k RPM. I installed the Challenge Street on my Corsa to see if the tone would change. I was not at all focused on the performance gains, which are minimal. The tone changed, alright. If you don't push the car, it sounds nearly the same as with the stock x-pipe - maybe a little louder. However, giving it some throttle turns it into a beast. The sound under throttle is higher pitched and ever-so-slightly raspy. I think the best part is the subtlety of the sound when exhaust braking, or letting off of the throttle and slowing. It gives a dynamic low rumble that's difficult to describe. Throttle blips are also fantastic. Instead of just engine revving, it projects a "WHAP" sound. I think it would sound incredible on a DCT car, but it is great with my 6MT. I have also heard my friend's car with this x-pipe mated with the BMW Performance exhaust (a horrible combo!) and the stock muffler. The dynamic sounds are still there, even with the OEM muffler. Again, it's a little more responsive. And those throttle blips sound amazing. This is also a very good combo. |
