just installed Vanguard titanium exhaust

longtran · 08-04-2009, 05:42 PM

Thanks to the guys at Vanguard for an awesome titanium exhaust for the E90 M3!

I installed it last week and have been driving around with it. The exhaust is not extremely loud and has a nice deep tone to it. The best part that I am loving about it is that there is no drone in the exhaust. The acceleration also seems more responsive when I mash it.

I will be doing a dyno on the exhaust next week and soundclips as well.

Congrats, it's a very nice looking system, and I was sorely tempted by it. Looking forward to the sound clips.

So no drone at all without a Helmholtz 'anti-drone' chamber?
And how louder than stock is inside with windows rolled up and cruising at highway speeds?
Unfortunately, not having an S/S option puts it above the price range most of us want to spend. But it sure sounds nice. Enjoy it

Great looking system, congrats!

Cool ... Can't wait to see the Dyno!

We are only 5 people away from getting the price down to $2650 shipped. I think thats a great deal for an awesome system. There will not be any incentives after the GB from Vanguard and $3199 is retail.

That's slightly above the AA, which was my limit, but being Ti, I'd consider it. Only problem is I want a quiet exhaust inside the car, like Dinan; how does yours compare to Dinan? Without a resonance chamber (Helmholtz), I don't think it's even close, no?

Did you see this video? Windows up, cruising to show there is no drone.

Sweet looking exhaust!

max08e90 · 08-05-2009, 11:51 PM

Do they stick out a lot without the diffuser installed?

stylinexpat · 08-06-2009, 01:02 AM

Any dyno pulls after install?

gemini330zhp · 08-06-2009, 01:11 AM

Wow looks great!!!!!! Would Titanium last in cold climate areas with salt and snow??

Ti is highly resistant to corrosion/rust... won't be a problem

The tips are adjustable and they can be moved in.
