Ferrari V8 Noise from M3

[hsb100]

Hi folks!

I am just curious if anyone has seen an exhaust system which sounds similar to a f360 or f430 which has a very raspy exhaust note? I have looked at the exhaust threads but I cannot hear a system which has a very high pitched note as they are all deep toned or not far off stock.

I am just re-searching right now to see if anyone has found a system that's close to the Prancing Horse V8 sound for an M3.

Thanks

Easier to get a Ferrari..? Oh, but a bit more cash on the table.
Don't think its possible the make the S65 sound like a Ferrari mate, but the noise it does make isn't too bad either is it now!?

Well, the Ferrari and the M3 have completely different engines. One is a flat plane engine and another is a cross plane engine (google the difference)

I have an Active Autowerke Exhaust and i think it's similar or as close you can get to the sound you are looking for. Check out Remus Race and UUC Corsa also.

If you want LOUD, a valvetronic exhaust can produce the sound you want as well. Kreissieg, RPI etc.

I would stay away from Gintani, Akra, Borla as those sound American. Of course sound is subjective, but that's my opinion.

You wont be able to replicate the sound of the Ferrari V8 with the S65 due to the fact that the Ferrari engine has a flat plane crank and the S65 has a cross plane. This results in different firing order and different exhaust scavenging.

In my opinion, the most exotic sounding exhaust for the M3 is the Kreissieg. There are a number of videos of the Kreissieg exhaust on here and youtube, but this captures the sound nicely in a tunnel:

Catless xpipe and stock rear or mpe I'd hight pitched, beautiful raspy scream. It's not exactly from outside but from inside it sounds very identical to f430 I've driven.especially with drop in fikter aiding to induction sound

Video error?

Apparently. Looked okay in preview, but can't get it to show now. I just click the youtube button and paste the link in-between, no?

I could only find a couple of videos but your prob right.

High- pitched, little rasp, no Drone at all!

Very exotic sounding.

Always loved this note! Still can't believe it hasn't sold!

But yeah, this exhaust or a keiesseig I would say.

As others stated, they have different designs and will never sound exactly alike. But they both can scream up in the revs.

iPE!!!! Shit sounds insane

Ehh. It's okay, but not worth the 4k they want for a made in Taiwan exhaust. So many other options out there.

Thanks alot!! Very surprised myself. I LOVE the way it sounds, it really is unique and very quiet inside but loud outside (running no cats). I'm running stock x pipe now so it's a tad quieter.

Funny, I've been around a lot of cars with different exhausts and none I would pay big money for as they are all variations of the same noise. I'd rather spend my money on power or other mods.

Kreissieg full valtronic system in the loudest setting, drive thru a tunnel and bam.....damn close.

That or figure out how to modify crank to a flat plane.

people may say the S65 is not flat plane, but its still sounds pretty exotic with the right setup.

A matter of personal preference. To me Kreisseg on M3 still doesn't sound anywhere close to F430.

You just can't replicate the short exhaust route.

F430 valves are programmed to flick open in less than a second once it hits target exhaust pressure values. This is what makes it go from quiet to loud in less than a second as well.

Kreisseg, IPE, Capristo, vacuum driven valves (with accumulator) for our M3s take a good 1.5-2 secs to open.

Nice. This forum is flourishing

Like someone on here said: IPE. Sickest sounding exhaust on the M3 period. Who cares where it's made.

oddly enough, the F430 doesn't sound half as good as a 458 italia

If you're on a budget, the oem exhaust + test pipes might sound close to that F430?

I have the full Evolve Valvetronic system and love it. One of the best sounds in any metric; with the top down it is very important not to have something that drones or is intrusive (unless you want to with the valves open) and this has fit the bill.
