SuperSprint Exhaust for e39 523i

[apocalypzeus]

hi all,sorry moderator i realize i posted in the wrong section under e39 instead of here,i've been searching through the forum, seems not many comment about the level of noise produced from the aftermarket exhausts compared to factory exhaust (eg. Remus, SS).will it be a waste of money if i'm just replacing the exhaust box without replacing the resonator, as the carbon accumulated all over the years will retard the air flow through the factory resonator anyway?been quoted 1.5k SGD for Remus rear box only but i've read that SS is quieter.any Shifu's out there with SS or Remus exhausts who can comment on this? any feedback regarding the sound, performance (fuel/power/weight difference) or costs of these exhaust and SS resonators will be greatly appreciated, thank you!

speak to naharms .. pm him.. he has one

i am using a supersprint unit for a year plus. slightly louder than stock, better solid tone. :top:

i might be selling it. pm me if you are interested.

leforte, did you replace the resonator as well or using stock one?

cheers

my initial setup was just the supersprint backbox with twin round tips, sound was good, slightly more rumble than stock and better mid-top end engine responds. you may choose to follow this setup and you will not need the resonator delete pipe unless you want it to sound a bit louder.

the current setup is a almost full supersprint setup with a custom made supersprint style headers (supersprint do not make them for RHD) to the supersprint metalic race cat connecting the supersprint resonator delete pipe and ending at the rear supersprint box. this setup is much much louder but still bearable with a slight drone occasionally while cruising. your car will not benefit from this setup unless you have a heavily modified engine with added intake and exhaust needs, if not, its just going to be a load of noise.

you may check out the attached supersprint parts page for reference on the parts to order.

Leforte, thanks for the tips! i'm just looking to swap to either a gruppem or bmc drop in air filter, so i reckon the performance gain will be minimal even with the upgrade of an air filter and exhaust.

just another quick question, i'm about to change from 16" to 18" rims next week, from tire width 225 to 265 (rear), do you think the increase in width of the tire and rim size will affect the power very much? was hoping to offset the difference with the air filter/exhaust upgrade.

thanks again!
cheers

I think they do make headers for RHD since they have an office in the UK

 

[leforte]

YOU THINK??? and what does having a UK office has anything to do with it??

maybe you should get all your facts right the next time before you start posting in the forum. supersprint never made any RHd headers and thats a fact.

Wakakakaka .... get my facts right??? That's rich!!! As i recall you were the one arguing about the existence of Magnetti Mareli gearbox :stupid: on a BMW E46 SSG/SMG cars when i have provided the evidence it's in fact a ZF gearbox ... MM just provide the AMT system NOT the gearbox :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: lmao

As for Supersprint making header for RHD they do again here's my proof ... Fyi Supersprint to ignore the RHD market does not make business sense lol

The link above is for the E39 523i

Where's your proof???? LOL Let there be substance mate!!! And before telling off people why don't YOU get your facts right :rofl:

hey,

stop putting words in my mouth,i have not argue with you. i have already arested my case on that and i have merely stated your ssg is a Magneti marreli unit, its a justifiable term for it as it is a magnetti marreli assembled gearbox of another make, ZF for this instance. the same thing is applicable to a proton perdana, which is a proton assembled mitsubishi eterna. do you call it mitsubishi? maybe you would,for the sake of arguing on everything:stupid: ..

on the other hand, it was the petty petty petty you that was arguing on every other thing that your box is a getrag unit, debating on the existence of this and that.... come on, read the words properly, get your facts right before you even post.

and the link to your so called proof of a RHD supersprint header is useless, show me a line in it that states its a RHD unit? fyi, the image and part number for the header shows its a LHD unit.

want me to give you some local supersprint dealers to check on the part number from the link you posted or to proof the existance of a RHD supersprint header?

let there be substance??? why dont you show me what you have other than the internet, wikipedia acquired stuff that you have been posting or maybe some first hand experience of performance mods that you have done to your car other than the usual after market air filter, and aesthetic changes.

 

[daveseech]

last check, supersprint never made any RHD headers! period! would have got it if it had. hehe:wink:

The same ZF gearbox has been used on a 3 series manual even before SSG was offered ... lol how hard is it to understand ... MM makes the AMT system only it does NOT design or have any say on the ZF gearbox ...LOL Even after all the proof that i provided one would think to accept the facts but NO you still wanna argue

Getting back on the headers .. Again it wouldn't make business sense for Supersprint to ignore the RHD segment in the market ... why would they??? Plus it wouldn't be so hard for a manufacturer like Supersprint to do a RHD version of their headers ... the fact that tuning shops all over the UK is offering the RHD headers is enough proof to prove that you're wrong The onus is on you to prove me wrong ...

What does first hand experience have anything to do anything with it I'm not arguing HP gains or the technical aspect of the headers .... We are arguing about the availability of RHD Supersprint headers are we not? .... I don't doubt your technical expertise but a couple of your statements is misleading
and incorrect ...

If you want I can give you links to a forum threads that shows you can get RHD Supersprint headers and few more reputable tuning shop in the UK Fyi in the UK they have a very strict policy of businesses making false claims i should know i've stayed there for almost 8 years and worked for a legal firm at one point ...

As for Eurocar Motorsport they make their own exhaust system based on Supersprint ... go figure :wink:

last check, supersprint never made any RHD headers! period! would have got it if it had. hehe:wink:

Where did you check??? So i guess the all the tuning shop in the UK that state they have RHD headers is a lie ??? lol i don't think so ...

Edit: Even now you could get E60 M5 RHD headers, Even for RHD Golf Gti's ... please do a search on google you can find your answers very easily ... :wink:

 

[daveseech]

beemer, you just like to argue on eveything do you, seem to find your comments on almost every other post here and udmowners.

anyway, your link does not states them as RHD headers, and the part number and image does show a LHD unit as leforte indicated. that part number is the same as those listed in the US supersprint website. anyway, i am not surprised that the website do not list them as a RHD only application as they are not a specialized bmw shop. the RHD market is in fact a very small market, so its not unusual that supersprint does not go into it. maybe you have not been to UK, but left hand drive cars is quite a common sight in UK.

i have look everywhere. headers are mandatory for the modification i have in my car, and i would only want the long style supersprint header, most shop in UK do sell these headers but the LHD units.

beemer, all your post are unfounded. and you are purely hijacking this thread with it.

supersprint does not make any RHD header for the e60 m5. for a RHD e60 m5 header, its a custom order part. a minimum order of 50 units is required. :top::listen: wanna ask me how i know? haha, my friend just purchased a m6 last month, he wants to order the headers to make it a full supersprint setup but non is available for RHD. the group buy by a uk based performance shop has only reach less than a fifth of the minimum target.

Wahh ... straight away you accuse me like to argue and yet you're not??? The fact that your tone of reply shows that you like to argue ... go figure lol like i said do a search and provide me proof if you have cos if not you're the one that like to argue lol not me I have provided proof can both of you say the same thing ... regardless whether the image is for left hand drive or not it sates they have headers for E39 523i for the UK market... I can show you several more links if you like

So where did you see again???

Edit: lol You can find me all over actually ... learning and contributing where possible in e46fanatic, bimmerfest, bmwland.co.uk, dtmpower and few others besides bmwcm and udm lol
How bout u?

Your statement is contradicting to say the least ...Do they or don't they??? Again it shows that Supersprint DO make RHD headers ... you just prove my point The fact that a tuning shop can order it or group buy among forum members shows that Supersprint do indeed make headers for RHD.
Thanks very much Seech ...

As for the M5 E60 do a search ... sudah malas mau search google for you guys and even with the proof that you can indeed can get a RHD manifold for a E39 523i from the UK you guys still wanna argue .. lmao

 

[daveseech]

seems like you cant read as well? did i mentioned anything on a supersprint RHD header in my reply to you? and once again, your link has nothing concrete to show that supersprint has any headers for rhd and its readily available to the masses. what was mentioned in it only shows one is being developed by thorney motorsport and fitted on a csl for racing only and non was ever on sale.

since you have non first hand experience and knowledge on performance modification, and yet highly opinionated for everything, all your answers are purely derived from hear say, via the net and googled:top:. i see no credibility to any of your post. and yes, you are on numerous forums abroad and it only tells that you are non other than a loud obnoxious and ignorant fool.

My, my .... such temper you have especially for some one that rarely post and contribute to the forum. And hence i don't see any need to argue or respond to you since it's clearly that you like to argue and cause problem in the forum ... there is a word for people like you ... TROLL!!! So please stop your trolling and try to contribute with some substance rather than trolling around in forums lol :top:
