Re: Supersprint Exhaust
for your ride exhaust mod 99% acoustics with marginal low end loss. go for eisenmann sports/race best sound I've heard so far for the i6 engines

Re: Supersprint Exhaust
Thanks Dead Kookabura, I'm not allowed prominent acoustics as mine's a family car.
I understand most catback exhausts for naturally-aspirated engines cater to sound rather than performance.
But I heard that Supersprint is different as it focuses on power gains.
Nobody here seems to have installed one on an E90 6-potter yet, though.

Re: Supersprint Exhaust
I'm not an e90 owner, but i drive an i6 e46 330ci. I've been on my cat-back supersprint for coming to a year now, and i think though the 2 engines are different, i think the principle behind should be the same.
The main difference after installation is without a doubt, a noticeable loss in the low end revs. A free or semi flow aftermarket exhaust system helps to reduce the exhaust output resistance and as a result, mid-high revs will be much more shiok, but on low revs, it's sluggish. Add a mid-high cam plus open pod air intake in my setup, i cannot imagine driving without at least a sprint booster to counter the low rev retardation. With the Velocity available now, it should be even less of a problem.
My other concern was also altering the original exhaust note, since i really liked the stock bassy sound of a 3L i6. Was afraid that after changing to after-market exhaust, it may alter the sound. Turned out to be an unnecessary concern, because it sounded close to stock, but with a lot more depth, and the scream after 4000rpm never fails to up a slow day for me.
Final tuning of ECU will also help overcome the low end loss.
In summary, no regrets for the change. Should work out for the e90s i6 just the same. Do post some reviews if you do decide to go for the upgrade.

Re: Supersprint Exhaust
Thanks 878, for a different perspective.
So, the Supersprint offers significant gains in torque/HP at mid to high revs?

Re: Supersprint Exhaust
Finally got the Supersprint catback system (muffler,mid-pipe/resonator, connecting pipes) .
Thanks to Juzz for Cars & Jeep Chee for fast professional installation.
With help from a BMW Performance intake, the Supersprint opens up the engine from 1800 rpm upwards with a confident surge of fresh power. Engine feels more free & eager, less choked and constrained than stock.
Sound? A deeply confident but non-intrusive growl builds to a ballsy roar as you push the engine. Attitude with subtlety.
Solid construction. The 80mm tips look quite stylish in a discreet way.

Re: Supersprint Exhaust
Just a couple of cautions.
Compared to stock, you might feel slightly reduced pulling power below 1500 RPM, especially if hauling a full passenger load up a hill. Things pick up at 1500 RPM and the real fun begins from 2000 RPM upwards.
Also, the exhaust sound has a subtle authority, but won't be attention-grabbingly loud enough for some.

Bro,
Do you know if it comes in quads or not? Thanks.
