So is the ceramic coating standard on a csl?! Don't remember seeing that on mine if it was.

It looks to me as tho he has taken this off his car, got sick of it cluttering the place up, and spray painted it - in order to sell it

It has certainly never been on a car, with that 'heat resistant coating' which could be a £5 can from halfords.....





just my opinion

Hi All,
It's not the ceramic coating applied by Zircotec, but a spray on ceramic based coating: http://www.duplicolor.com/products/enginePaint/. It is supposedly better than regular VHT - neatens up everything anyway.

Thanks.

Good adds all round. Ceramic paint is a bonus, you've gone the extra mile - A*, now lets hope you reap the benefits. Why didn't you post it up on here? Less numpties than on ebay! :-D

Hi there

This is tempting for my track car!

Right now I've got a Milltek catback systems. Could I keep the lighter Milltek back box and fit all these CSL parts except the back box?

Will the CSL backbox be heavier or lighter than my Milltek, I have to say that CSL backbox looks much bigger!

What kind of weight savings are the headers, x-pipe, mid-pipe and cats over the stock M3 exhaust?

Thanks Neil. I didn't think anyone on here would be interested in a standard exhaust, I was obviously wrong :)

Hello there, the back box is still very substantial so you're better off with the Milltek, as to whether it fits I would suspect it does, as otherwise Milltek would loose out on backbox only sales. Please confirm with them first though.

The manifolds are very light as is the mid section, cats are noticeably lighter but not dramatically so.

I think there is a comparison on one of the M3 forums and somebody weighed the parts.

Thanks

I would be willing to take the back box out of the equation. PM me let me know your offer, and we can take it from there.

Thanks.
