Best Exhaust for ESS Supercharged + Test Pipes
Hello,
I recently got an ESS G1 on my E93 M3. It has test pipes and stock x pipe. I had a valvetronic system which I know is only safe to use with valves open, which is simply too loud for everyday use, though sounds incredible. I went back to stock muffler, which is too quiet for me. I'd like to keep my test pipes and stock x pipe and just replace the muffler. Have considered MPE (but am worried about it cracking with forced induction) and Akrapovic. I am looking for substantially more sound than stock, but not quite as much as the valves-open loudness I had with my valved system. Generally do not want any drone. Does anyone have advice on best muffler for my specific setup/goals? Located in AZ if anyone locally has something for sale that's a good fit. Thanks |

I think Corsa fits your needs. The guy I bought mine from (betacris) was running an ESS supercharger with their X-Pipe and the Corsa and loved it.
I'm running it with the stock X-Pipe and it's surprisingly loud. I believe the mufflers are a straight through design and use resonators and chambers to eliminate drone and maintain a clean sound. Last edited by a5m; 07-19-2025 at 06:28 PM.. |

Affirming a5m . Corsa here with test pipes on stock X. Have had this exhaust NA, harrop, and ess550 - all simply butter. It’s loud enough but pleasant such that my neighbor reports loving to hear it come and go. It pleases on track as well

Came here to put a vote in for Corsa.. bit late it looks like haha.
Ess 625 > AA mid > Corsa rear. Once you hear it, you'll forget about what the tips look like.
