GruppeM CAI and Exhaust Installed (pics only) - M3 Forum 2010 2009 BMW M3 2008 BMW M3 BMW E90 M3 E92

edlms · 04-24-2008, 05:38 AM

As promised, here are the pics of the CAI and Exhaust.
The sounds clips will be posted when I return from my overseas trip...

The sounds from these two mods are incredible. The CAI enhances the high-pitched intake noise, while the exhaust is both loud and throaty. A bit of droning at revs between 3k and 4k RPM though.

I left my driver's side window (right side for me) to enjoy the sounds, and my right ear actually started tingling after a while. Real cool...

All in all, if you want to remain stealthy, the exhaust is NOT for you. It scares little children and intimidates other drivers...

No regrets!

Cheers

Omg nice. is it possible to show us some vid or sound clip. I know GruppeM is a loud exhaust (E46 owner b4)... but i wanna check out their e9x M3 version

M-Maika · 04-24-2008, 06:54 AM

WOW

That intake looks too good.
Can you please provide high resolution pictures for a clear look ?

Thanks.

Best Regards, Maika

Thanks for the pics!

I am now a bit concerned this exhaust might be too loud for my tastes. Looking forward to you videos.

Epacy · 04-24-2008, 07:39 AM

Yes, I would like to stay away from drone.
Don't you have larger pics? Especially of the intake?

Big Windy · 04-24-2008, 07:41 AM

Regardless of the sound improvement, how does it feel? Any more pep?

edlms · 04-24-2008, 09:06 AM

my butt dyno says, YES. i can "feel" more power, more responsive.
500km to allow the mods to bed down before i dyno it again.

will definitely post the results, together with the sound clips...
