Feedback request: Superspint Race v F1
Gents
Appreciate experienced insights/thoughts... Currently running a RPI Sport axle back. Sounds great up to ~4.5K rpm, then note becomes 'flat'...meaning ~5-8K no discernible increase in note at higher revs. (likely limited by design, flow, back pressure) Determine which next axle back set-up:Considerations... > Any SS drone likely mitigated by existing quad resonators. > Deciphering what to anticipate from SS exhaust models for most 'exotic' note. > Looking for best overall enhanced sound volume/spectrum [i.e. low, mid, hi rpm] ...comments?

Could the x-pipe with quad resonators be the cause of the flat sound above 4.5k rpm? Drone generally comes from the axle-back muffler design. I’ve never heard the SS F1 in person, is it known to drone badly?

The RPI muffler does not contain a helmholtz chamber, thus the original rationale for quad set-up. Guessing this combo adds a bit more back pressure/suppression with the catless X-pipe than a 'straight pipe' system; result reducing tones.

I always hear members on this forum tout that resonators don’t reduce overall volume but mitigate unwanted “resonance” or tones. I’ll be the first to say that removing all resonators from my x pipe absolutely made my exhaust louder. It definitely increased drones rasp as well but to say they do not reduce volume is incorrect in my andectoal experience.
Edit* for clarity I am catless and run an eisenmann race. Originally had a dual resonated MS x pipe but switched to a pipe with no resonators and it was certainly a few decibels louder. |

I agree definitely impacts volume. Current setup is a resonated catless BW xpipe with Eisenmann race and sounds great, just a bit of drone. I wonder what the F1 sounds like compared to erace.

Similar if not the same. I posted a video in the other thread of my SS Race w/ test pipes.
I have not heard the F1 in person, but it does have an internal helmholtz chamber which I'm sure with quite done any drone the Race produces. At this point, I'm used to any cabin drone the Race produces, which there is some in lower RPM in certain gears. Aesthetically, this is the best looking exhaust for this chassis, and the polished stainless steel looks really good from behind. |

I had a SS Race F1 exhaust with stock Xpipe. It is very quiet. It passes 90dB days on Laguna Seca.
Video of a very quiet SS F1 race. There is some slight boominess under 3KRPM when fully loaded, but otherwise one can engage in a conversation with passengers on the freeway without raising voices. I have an Evolve xpipe coming inbound. I am curious if there will be drone or not with secondary cat xpipe with 2 resonators. This video is what my setup will be in the near future. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DOoQWHxUw5o

...hopefully my current quad resonated X-pipe continues to eliminate rasp & drone while preserving F1 notes and freer flow than the RPI axle back.

Here is my E92 with SS race (not F1) and BW x-pipe, catless, non-resonated. Typical 2.5-3K drone, but easy to manage.

The resonators + 200 cell cats in the evolve xpipe result in a lot less rasp and a more deeper tone (I’m looking for the opposite). I used to have Eisenmann race with test pipes, but it was way too deep and “boomy” for me, and it droned a lot. The SS F1 Race sounds way more exotic and high pitched. I also think the SS mufflers/tips look the best out of any exhaust system out there. |

Oh it does! I have a feeling it won’t pass Laguna 90dB days either way… guess illl have to suck it up to higher dB days

2nd Survey - SS Race vs SS F1
Current set-up - Catless w/quad resonated X-pipe
My Target Sound Characteristics:
Given my current X-pipe set-up, does SS Race fit the bill?Since my RPI axle back is sport v race; wish for more than an incremental volume/tone increase. Here's what SS says: "That means, the difference between the two versions is just the character and level of Sound:All said, which makes sense...thoughts?

Just FYI was talking with Supersprint on WhatsApp (+39 348 895 5481) and you can get a 25% discount if you order directly through them.

No code. You buy it directly through them via whatever method they're using. I assume they email you an invoice. I'd message and ask just to confirm. |

Evolve xpipe + SS F1 Race. smokinjoe64 It is a rather low rumble growl and the drone is present if the throttle is loaded below 3K RPM. Otherwise it's fairly tolerable for now. I'm heading to Laguna 4/1 and I'll see if the sound booth can do a volume check on my car.
