CSL exhaust "Rasp" ??

[SMD]

I think the standard CSL exhaust is perfect!

Would maybe do the cats and a re map a some point but not really bothered!

I wouldn't have bothered doing mine knowing what i know now...

The £2k would have been much better put towards my APs - these really do improve the CSL

Yea but once you have done Brakes and KW's!

Might aswell spend £2k on track days and ring trips!

I love the standard note, but would be good to hear some aftermarkets.

Brakes will come first for me though.

Agree SMD.. standard is fine. Noise is there when you want it without taking over.......A chap in my street has a Gruppe on his CSL and it sounds terriblr....far to loud and take away the character of the CSL.....plus far to loud for most tracks I would imagine.

I've fitted a Miltek BB only, the rest standard CSL and can confirm I still have the rasp, which is bang on what I was after.

I did have the 'Unsilenced SS X-Pipe' with a GruppeM and fcuk me it was noisy in and out the cabin. Went back to standard 'X-pipe' but still too noisy so got a new BB from TMS and its perfect for me. Each to thier own though but yes, I believe the rasp is from the 'X-Pipe'

Spanner - Works - Stand back...

That's one reason why i settled for the Miltek in the end as i track my car a fair bit and didn't want to be turned away for excessive noise!

I had a miltek fitted to one of my M3's a few years ago - kept it on for 2 weeks. its was embarrising.

the only exhaust mod i would do on my CSL is cat's, center section and poss manifold.

I have a gruppe m It's not a daily driver so the noise isn't a problem. But personally I love the boomy spluttery noise it makes. Especially when you first start it up - my neighbours love me

Because I love a bit of noise, I just found that with the standard exhaust, I was always booting it to over 2,500 revs to hear anything which wasn't very sensible and I felt I needed more engine noise at low revs.

This is the noise when revving and a launch control.

I did my track day with the standard exhaust but I don't think I will do any more in the CSL so the noise issue doesn't worry me and if I do do another track day, I am good friends with my local "M" technician and he would just swap it back to standard for the price of a drink.

After my Brands track day I felt I ended up with quite a few more chips out of the paintwork and I personally can't afford to add any damage to the car or its components that a track day usually entails.

About to do , try some exhausts ... want the Supersprint really , as ive heard that one, and its got the rasp and looks standard ish just wider x4 pipes , so bit more aggressive , dont like the miltek rolled inners look , so waiting for a new tip design that might be coming on those and then decide

Just like the meatier look of the back box , and the deeper ( with rasp ) sound
