    Default Sports Exhaust question

    Hi Folks,

    I think Im going to buy a sports back box ( muffler ) for my car... Ive found a supersprint one that I fancy. I want to hear that straight 6 sing !

    What I want to know is changing the rear muffler on my M50 2.5 going to make quite a difference to the sound? Id like it to be a bit louder , just wondered if that back muffler alone was enough.

    Has anybody here put on the supersprint back box alone ?

    Can anybody in the UK recommend a cheap and quality type of exhaust and place to get it ? Or even in the USA if shipping to UK isnt too dear !

    Thanks
    Rory.

    I changed my rear muffler to a universal one, welded the pipes myself. The sound is louder and deeper, but not too loud, if you know what i mean.

    depending on the quality and construction of the muffler it can be anywhere from quiet or annoyingly loud

    i have a catback b&b tri-flow exhaust. runs about $900. produces a low mellow tone, not ricey loud or throaty either. i'd like to run straight pipes from manifold all the way back to a borla muffler. i think it'll get a more throaty tone that way.

    without a resonator it may get raspy, maybe painfully so

    Ive decided to go for a Supersprint cat back system, its had lots of good reviews on all the bmw forums I read. Dont think I saw anybody complain about it.

    Most people say sounds nice without being too loud. Thats what Im hoping
