Supersprint X-pipe
I have been considering getting the Supersprint X-pipe without the resonators and connecting it to the other OEM sections.
1-do you guys think that the fitment will work without sawing anything? 2-how do you think this will affect overall sound? 3-what is the difference between the black steel and the stainless steel listed on their site? 4-Is there any reason that this is a bad idea? http://www.supersprintna.com/product...earch_model/86 |

1- You will need to cut the stock pipes unless you purchase the full header back SS exhaust system. 2-The sound is amazing when removing the Secondary cats and resonators. It might be too loud for some. 3- No clue. Send SS an email 4- If you’re ok with a loud car then go for it. I also heard that SS make a resonated X-pipe for Hamann. That might be better for daily driving.

2 - If you're replacing just the x-pipe section & nothing else then it'll obviously sound louder but not sure how much louder. Might as well save up a little longer & get an aftermarket axle-back while you're at it but that's just me. 3 - Not sure either 4 - It'll be louder if you like that The one you linked originally was just the U.S. distributor's (BMP Design) website. There are much more info/products on SS's direct website: http://www.supersprint.com/a_prodott...ello=bmwE92m31

european car mag is publishing a flow test of all of the sections of the e92 M3's exhaust. This should show where the most restrictive sections are. |

Is this the current issue on newsstand? If yes then I'm going to Barnes & Nobles later today.

i have the July issue, which is the first in the 3 part series. I have yet to recieve the 2/3 issue.
Let me know what you guys think about the article. THey say that they put the "flow testers" in 4 places...primary cats, secondary cats, resonator, and muffler. The article goes on to say something about the restriction in the first position meaning that the M3 is a good candidate for headers....How do they know the restriction is in the headers and not the primary cats? am i missing something? please share your thoughts... |

Has anyone else done this or experimented with just swapping out x-pipes and/or resonator sections?
I would like slightly louder than stock but not too loud and would prefer to not drop $3,000 just to get a little more volume and flow, but not a full race sound. On my Cayenne Turbo I did a Fabspeed secondary cat bypass pipe for like $500 and it sounds simply amazing. Just slightly louder than stock at idle, maybe 20% louder but about 50% lounder at WOT and it sounds nasty as hell. In mid range rpms it is just a bit throatier but not much louder. |

Get the full exhaust system. You wont be dissapointed....
I did and i love it. I have a non resonated X pipe, it´s a bit loud, but i love the engine sound. Here you have my thread about this if you want to take a look. http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=234155 Best Regards, Maika

Since I don't like starting too many new threads... I'll bump this one with my question:
What do you guys think of the Supersprint Xpipe in comparison to the Challenge Sport or Gintani with HFC+resonators? I do not want to go catless... the smell is unbearable for me. I don't know if I want to do a full system yet... I want the increased power, a little increased sound, and no no no drone. I'm not the type that likes the exhaust that can be heard from miles ahead. I'm fine with down the street So I was looking at this: http://www.supersprintna.com/product...earch_model/87 and combing it with their cats. My other question is... are they seriously expected to get $4k for their HFC Xpipe with resonators? That's crazy.... Anyways...one main reason I'm considering it is that I may be able to get a slightly used one for a really good price... Thanks for your input

This won't work. The X pipe is designed to connect directly to the connecting pipes used with either the Sport mufflers or the Street muffler. If you don't want to use the X pipe, you use the short connecting pipes in addition to the ones that come with the mufflers, to connect to the stock X pipe. You'd have to cut the stock X pipe and the stock mufflers and try to figure out some way to connect the stock connecting pipes to the SS x pipe. I doubt this will work without some welding, given that the stock connecting pipes are hydro formed and not round. |
