No exhaust sound

sylonien · 10-28-2013, 03:00 PM

Ever wondered what the V8 M3 sounds like without an exhaust? That’s what I went to find out today while taking the Supersprint Race off the car. Started her up without the back box (muffler, axle-back, auspuff, rear section) and the results are amazing!

It’s ridiculously loud as expected in terms of volume, but I was pleasantly surprised that the tone characteristic sounded rather nice. I just wish I could run the car like that. Cheaper than any after market exhaust out there in the world and it saves a ton of weight at the same time.

The OEM exhaust is mega heavy!

The primary catalytic converters are still there; the secondary cats and resonators have been removed previously. So the sound you hear is pretty much a cat back straight pipe. Love it!

I did eventually put the original exhaust back on to the car before I left just so you know.

It's also not 'no exhaust' as the primary sound killing device (the primary cats) are still in play. *shrug*

I just barely tapped the throttle and my GF just about jumped out of her shoes!

I wasn't entirely sure what he said either.
I just guessed.

The guy filmed it for me on my phone,
but turned out to be a customer.

He was just chatting there with me (i assumed he worked there),
but then he said he was a customer at that place.

And wanted to see and hear the car.
