First Review
Supersprint Muffler
LTA-Compliant: No (Caa 24 Aug 10)
Price: SGD1k+
Sound on Startup: Bassy with a low Boom
Sound when idling: Bassy (Quite close to a Boxer engine sound...think WRX!!!)
Sound < 2000 RPM: Low rumble
Sound > 2000 RPM: Loud Growl
Drone when cruising (80km/h): Yes

Review:
This muffler fits people who have a liking for JDM sound. The startup is nice, bassy with a low boom. Very Sporty. However, there seems to be a slight loss in low end torque. Car was a little sluggish. Surprisingly, when I put to DS mode and tried shifting the car manually, the car felt much more responsive. Pair this with a ///M Steering wheel with paddle shifters and feel the exhilaration. There is a noticeable lag at the high end, but the car lurches forward and delivers power at quite a linear pace. When the car is moving along at < 2000 RPM, there is a low rumbling sound, very nice and sporty. However, when it goes above 2000 RPM, you can hear the loud burble. There is a growl at higher RPM and speeds. I changed the muffler as I felt that this sound is quite intimidating (especially when a 320i is not powerful enough). For drone, it was unbearable at > 3000 RPM when I first installed it in a new car. However, after uninstalling it after 2 weeks and reinstalling it after 60k mileage, the droning was much reduced and was much more bearable.
The Exhaust tips are thick and shiny. Personally, I feel that these are the best twin tips for the 320i now.

Review:
This muffler is a refined beast. If the Supersprint is a Tiger, this is a Panther. It sounds stock mostly and you can bearly hear the high pitch whine. The beauty of this exhaust is its performance. It is wierd, but this is the first time I think I actually gain some low end torque with this muffler. It almost feels like a mini sprint booster installed when traveling at low speeds, in the carpark, start-stop, etc. I love the feel of the exhaust. It makes the car feels a little smoother and has this addictive pull when the car surges. It almost feels like something is pulling the car, catapulting it forwards when you floor the throttle.
This is for people who like to have a refreshing and elegant drive. Unassuming sound but nice performance. I love this. If only, I can combine the low end rumble of the SS with the refined nature of this...

this is interesting especially for a 320i (4pot) instead of 325i (6pot)

Re: E90 320i Exhaust Muffler Reviews
I just got this yesterday.. it's barely peeking out from under my rear bumper just like the picture shown here.. I always thought it's supposed to stick out a bit more.. lol. So it's nice to see that my ride is not the only one that's like this.
I love this exhaust.. +1 on the low end torque.

Re: E90 320i Exhaust Muffler Reviews
Bro,
You are the most appropriate person to post review after 3 months with Sebring and 1 wk with Eissenmmen..
Ok Short Review:
What I like: Chrome slanted staggered tips
Bassy sound but not too intrusive
It seems louder when cold but get quieter when warm-up
No lost in low end torque / easier rev to redline
Definately better than stock...my neighbour notice my exhaust and my dog get
shock whenever I start the car in the morning
Its cheap and considerably louder than Eisenmann Sports
What I dont like : Its O O instead of OO (Main Dislike)
Its body is probably made from some zinc plated steel painted in matt black
May not be suitable for people who wants a total quiet ride..
My wife say "Good Meh??"
Picture/sound: Its better to hear and see the real thing....

Not that small think its 76mm in diameter ...any guy with this is super well endowed. One of the reason why Eisenmenmm is expensive is because it constructed using stainless steel... Ahgray looks like better exhaust.. If want to remain silent might as well stay stock and change tip right???

Yeah...thats why I prefer the SS tips. Thick & round. It has more presence.

Oooh ok.. were you the bro that was also in the lounge? Damn cold I kept fiddling with the aircon.. hahaha.
I have Weitec coilovers and a Gruppe M on order.. they're now on some ocean between Japan/Germany and SG.. >.<
Will upgrade brakes next year.. want to go Brembo but really too ex, so prolly just change rotors, pads and get steel-braided lines. Very tempted to get paddle shifters since I drive in M mode all the time.
What were you at Boss for? Modding also ah?
