zcp312 SS upgrade tips are actually on their site.
Took some probing, located them - PN# 248676.

Even better $$$...discovered a 'limited time sale', in-stock tip set in US [ordered 13 Mar].
33% discount from SS retail price. Surpasses SS site price including with their promo offer.

PM if interested in specifics...

Maybe it’ll sell me on it

For what it's worth,

Supersprint F1 Race paired with Evolve Xpipe (made by Supersprint)

Wild how we all have different tips lol

[Bimmer Barney]

Yah I used to have this system with the welded on tips and I really liked that. I was surprised to receive adjustable clamp on tips but they look really good and it was nice to adjust them to be even.

Thanks Debro for posting that clip. I always wondered what the F1 sounds like with a aftermarket x pipe compared to the original race version. They don't sound all that different.

I think there is a slight difference but it would largely depend on the Xpipe configuration too. This one is Macht Schnell xpipe with SS Race.

What I think the F1 does, is reduce drone. It isn't all that loud.


This is the video short that made me push for the Evolve pipe.

M3MATT Curious to know a bit of detail regarding actuals..meaning what's your final exhaust config:

• Cat status...delete or what?
• "resonator delete" - what does that mean?

Tryin' to sort my final config...given installing new Supesrprint F1 axle backs with existing AM quad resonated X-pipe.

Mid pipe:

OEM Mid pipe W/:
AA Test Pipes
OEM Secondary cats (not blown out/gutted)
Resonators taken out and replaced with metal pipes.

Axleback:
Akrapovic Axleback, known as fhe “Slip On” with the carbon tips . Completely how it came from them.

It’s just stock mid pipe but with the primary cat and resonators gone. But I still have the secondary cats.

Have an AM tune?
If so, which one...what Stage XX?

Experienced CELs? [ie Emissions codes]

Currently RK, going to switch to Epic!

Cel gets coded out through the tune. You can run tp without them but you’ll have a CEL for the Catalyst

Sounds incredible! Sophisticated when not on it but loud otherwise. Perfect balance.

smokinjoe64 That's unbelievable. Sucks you're in this situation but I'm confident they'll sort you out. Hopefully the discount isn't a reflection of quality...

For me this will always be the best sounding setup for the e9x m3:

Full supersprint exhaust - catless front pipes, non-resonated xpipe, F1 race rear section. Super high pitched and exotic sounding and has the perfect amount of rasp that in my opinion suits the s65 well.
