Looking for linear sounding exhaust!

yeah_knee · 10-03-2018, 05:32 PM

Currently have RPI axle back installed on my e92 m3. It's the only exhaust mod I have. On startup and idle, the car has TOO much bass. Especially when ordering at a drive thru, it feels like I'm driving my diesel truck. Plus this exhaust is super drony. What's funny is a lot of the bass disappears after 5 RPM and you hear more motor. I'm looking for an exhaust with a reverses effect. I want something that's quieter on startup and idle, but screams when you redline it. At this point I'm thinking of going back to the OEM exhaust and doing the exhaust mod, or maybe grabbing the borla S Type (hard to judge how loud it is, but they preach NO drone)... also heard great things about the Dinan exhaust.
Thoughts?

BayE30 · 10-03-2018, 06:21 PM

Dinan or MPE.

WickedE93 · 10-03-2018, 06:36 PM

Challenge exhaust!

Powashiftin · 10-03-2018, 08:43 PM

Corsa. No brainer.

Straight pipe it. Mine idles the same as stock without drone.

Destroys your ears if you get too cheeky with the throttle though.

stock:

center straight+ rear stock

M3ANMACHINE · 10-04-2018, 03:28 PM

Corsa for sure.

probably a dumb question... but is there any way to get say a Corsa Exhaust, or something similar, but to keep the stock tips? I am not a fan of the tips on any of the aftermarket exhausts and love the stock look.

yeah_knee · 10-24-2018, 07:14 PM

Corsa is perfect. Just got my car back today from install. If the RPI was a 9/10 on the loud scale, the corsa is a 6.5-7 which is perfect for my liking. Not to mention the linear sound all the way through, whereas the RPI would lose bass after 4-5 rpm. Corsa reminds me of the e92 335is exhaust note

Test pipes make it perfect. IMO

Do you notice power gain with TP?

Yes, but I went from TP with OEM mod to TP with Corsa. I think the Corsa is a straight thru design though.

M3_Ronny · 10-25-2018, 07:37 AM

I suggest the Borla ATAK https://instagram.com/p/BpVlTktgDN6/

Bomiz · 10-25-2018, 09:28 AM

To hear it above 5k if you need at least test pipes

If you don't want to spend a ton of money I vote Megan with TPs.

The Borla S is drone happy...of all the Borlas the ATAK is the way to go. Love the Corsa just hate the way they look under the car. Look like Rhino balls under the rear valance.

Don't you know corsa rhino balls are the new truck nuts...

I just added a gintani xpipe w/hfc to my corsa cat back. Nice aggressive idle & screams when you get on it. Definitely no fall off up to redline. Not droney (I'm taking credit for a new word there) but you will definitely hear it at highway speeds if that matters just from pure volume. Sounds glorious imo, especially at the track.
