Forget about Borla; those droned like a mofo on my other cars, so can't imagine how bad they're on the M3 (read a few reports that is was bad indeed, so forget about it).
That Vanguard sounds really nice on sound/video clips, and the current GB price seems great for Ti, but I personally don't trust it for the long run man. And it's not Ti itself, as some manufacturers use it stock (Z06, among others), but most aftermarket systems are just too darn thin. I don't care about a few pounds less; as long as it's lighter than stock (which is not bad, by the way), I'd be happy.
Hey, I just got this from a
Remus Sport owner. It was a great way to put the noise inside the cabin:
If I give it a range of 1 to 10, the stock would be say 3, Sports would be about 5.5 to be precise
and Race would be about 9. The sports do not drone inside the car at all (might be a teeeenie bit), but the Race drone inside the car would do your head in if you are stuck in traffic going about between 2kRPM to 3.5kRPM
The other owner (wish I hadn't deleted his response) reported drone between 3 and 3.5K on the Sport. Now it's pretty obvious to me this system is nowhere near stock noise level.
The hardest thing to judge is where noise becomes drone, since everybody has a different tolerance. Seems like I'd be borderline at best, so only way to know one way or another is to personally listen to it. I assume this would be the case with the AA too. Well, seems like until I get such offer close to home (preferrably a large meet, where I can listen to ALL at the same time, or somebody passing thru El Paso, TX), or a testimonial from somebody looking for the same thing, I'll be staying stock for now. Hope to hear from somebody on the black paint option. Thanks for your help.
