Fairly quiet when not on the throttle hard, but once you get past 4500 it really starts to open up and sound amazing. 8 grand is a symphony. ;-)

I would be interested to see or hear a video/in person.

Alright, I want an exhaust meetup. Who's in? I'm free the 23rd, 30th, or just about any night after work. Suggestions on location? UW north stadium parking lot could work.

Anyone want to do a cruise through snoqualmie valley on the 23rd? can listen to exhausts as well

If we have a few takers i'll create the thread with the route.

My OEM mod and I are in for meet and cruise the 23rd. I could do morning or evening but probably not middle of the day.

Do it.. I'm in..

mikeokimster · 06-17-2013, 11:17 PM

I'll be in. Couldn't take how quiet OEM was and ended up with a Dinan exhaust(in route) paired with my MS test pipes.

andybui82 · 06-18-2013, 02:03 AM

I thought you got rid of the Megan for noise, is the Dinan really much quieter?

BTW, I'm having a hell of a time getting the tips straight on the Megan exhaust, what did your shop have to do to get it straight on your car?

The dinan doesn't have as much low frequency resonance in the lower rpms as does the megan which helps.

With everything loose attached held up with jacks and Jack stands I would make sure the tips are oriented correctly and clamp the exhaust to the xpipe first. Then clamp the rear exhaust mounts working forward. See if that works

206_m3 · 07-12-2013, 01:29 PM

this might be a weird thing to ask but does anyone have an ess vt-1 550 kit on their car? I am thinking of supercharging my car and was wondering if i can have a ride along!

dont get the 550. not worth it, just drop a little bit more and get at least 100 hp more. @duyh is having something much crazier installed, ask him for a ridealong when he gets it back. but if you are pretty set on a 550, contact carrozzeria, they have a 550 in their shop car. but i heard that car is out of commission right now.

a supercharger kit without an intercooler is useless. at least get the vt2. i mean you could always buy the 550 and upgrade to the vt2 once you get bored of it.
