Z3 M3 Roadster - Sports Exhaust

[tedj]

Dear all

Well I am new to this forum as I have sold the TVR and decided to purchase some German engineering. I must confess I am missing the sound of the V8 but feel a lot more in control of the car rather it being in control of me so a good choice. I am however looking at replacing the rear silencers to get a bit better exhaust note form the Z3 and was wondering on some good exhausts. I would prefer if possible a reasonable priced set but I am aware that you get what you pay for. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Well I finally managed to get the car out of the garage and get the exhaust sorted. I have replaced the 2 rear boxes with a Powerflow system for a better note. Well the change in the exhaust note was amazing and really does make a difference. The distint M3 exhaust note is still there. There is no real booming at touring speeds with the hood down and all in all I would have to say a good buy. The only problem I can see is that fuel consumption will be reduced as the windows and roof will be down and dabbing the throttle to listen to the new sound track. When I can get my camera sorted I will try and post some pics.

Kind regards

Sorry chaps I have been away for a while. When I next get the car out I will take some pics of it. I went for the RBT ends and they look a little like the originals with a bit of a twist. I must confess I did look at the others and although there a couple of alternatives, I was swayed by the cost and the frienldy help. I had Olly at Powerflow Bury StEdmunds make and fit the system. A tue gent and they made and fitted them whilst I waited. With the roof down it is a completely different car.

I hope this helps and once I have the pics and can figure out how to post them on here then I will get them up.

Are you ready for this? They were a whopping £360 inc fitted and it took him 3 hours to do. I will get some pics up tomorrow night if I can get the car out of the garage as the drive is currently being repaired so the car is stuck in the garage at the moment.

If you can let me know how to post pics then that will help.

Thanks

yes you are right, it is just the angle. I took that picture lying on the garage floor looking up at the underside of the car. When I get the car out of the garage in ther next couple of days I will get some propoer pictures taken.

It is quite a bit louder than the stock system. At low revs it has a nice burble and then when the revs get up is sounds amazing with a nice exhaust note at the higher end of the revs. I will try and get a video clip on youtube in the next couple of days.

I hope this helps?
