Awesomee. I only had the stock exhaust when I had them on the car so once you're happy with the setup id like to hear some sounds clips.

My other car was so loud with headers and PE!
With SS mids I could only imagine

You aren't imagining things quieting down. The fill inside those Coast Fab cans settles and quiets the exhaust note from raucous to just right. Give it a couple of months.

Forgot about that, thanks. Going to make some SPL measurements with an old RS meter tomorrow after I get it home. And using a phone app some measurements in the cabin while driving.

Lol - I used to use one of those old RS meters for audio. Now it's all done digitally or with an analog 1/3 octave RTA. I suppose I could drag the RTA and mic to the car for a better "listen" to the exhaust...

Yeah, that'd be cool but it's all I've got anymore. Just looking for a handle on how loud it is relative to track limits here and there. Fifty feet to the side I think is the measurement method, can't remember what weighting though, gotta look it up.

Didn't mean for the comment to come across as disparaging - the RS meter is the 57 Chevy of SPL meters, having been around forever, for good reason. It will be perfectly satisfactory for this application.

Wasn't taken that way, not to worry. It's a cheap ole' standby but the dial switch is sorta flakey, hasn't been used in years and years.

With the Euro IAT sensor? Any problems? And let us know how it runs around town. Probably doesn't matter a whole lot until it get hot outside...

Woo-hoo! 7.5k redline 328i. You win. That redline and your exhaust must make some very sexy noise. Wait a sec - at what point does VANOS go from asset to liability (rotational speed)? BMW's still uses ITBs on the high-revving motors. I wonder how fast a VANOS motor can spin before complications? Congrats

I was taking a nap, but yeah with the IAT sensor in. The car started up beautifully, fuel economy actually seems a little bit better and that high redline is tempting. However: I have a CEL on, which I need to check out what it is. The idle bounces...kinda annoying, and I hope it goes away. Quote:
As far as the redline goes, the S55 M3/M4 motors use valvetronic and have a 7700RPM redline, as well as some of the same springs and rockers that the N52 does, so I think we are safe. |

Pretty sure VANOS isn't rpm sensitive until the latency of the solenoids becomes a problem and I don't think that's within any reasonable rpm range.
