135i Axelback + Supersprint Section 2 sound clip / review

I finally got around to making a short video of my exhaust setup. It's the Supersprint Section 2 + stock 135i Axelback and I think it's safe to say I'm the only person with this Supersprint piece pretty much everywhere.

This video is just a few revs and I hope to get another up. This sound is exactly what I was going for, so I'm happy to say I'm done modifying the exhaust system. Surprisingly, there is no rasp or drone to be heard anywhere in the rev range, it droned a little bit at first from 3.5-4k but that has all gone away after driving a hundred miles or so. I actually wanted a little bit of rasp, but that's okay. The Supersprint piece is top quality as you'd expect, and I've attached a few closeups so you can see for yourself. This cost $371 from TMS during their 20% off sale and I think that's a great price for replacing almost one third of the exhaust system with Supersprint quality, no regrets here. In regards to fitment, it clamped straight onto the midpipes and the axelback as well. About half the piping of the 135i axelback is hacked off in order to fit this piece, and that's good because that 'S' curved piping that's in the stock design is silly. I will try to find time to get another video with an externally mounted GoPro or something, but until then, enjoy!

Sounds good, I do miss the sound na engines make. All this turbo business muffles things a lot. Can you take a vid of, maybe an uphill run?

If anyone wants to do this, I have a good 135i axleback that needs a new home. http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1144276

Yup will try to, it's not very loud up front so that's why I would have to capture the sound via some sort of external mic

I like it. Sounds controlled and mean.
