Vert Owners with Aftermarket mufflers

[TMQ]

hey fanatics i currently have a 02 330ci Vert with a magnaflow muffler and its drone is starting to really **** me so i still want the aftermarket sound but i need something slightly quiter, so my question to you guys is what are my options?

any help will be greatly appreciated :)

BUMP anyone????

The sport exaust sounds pretty nice. It's alot better than most cars. One option would be to take out a resonator

I've got a TSE3... might not want that if you want quieter...

ok, im not necessarily want something quiter just something that doesnt drone...i read on the UUC site that it guarantees no drone from there exhausts so thats the only reason i was considering it.

i was told the borla doesn't drone but you'd have to search on that

The Dinan system is great.

The TSE3 is excellent on highway or just cruising. You can hardly tell its there IMO. No drone at all. Overall its pretty tame if you want it to be, you know, drive like a grandma, but if you want to make a racket... it'll do that too:4ngie:

Bad idea.

Drone is caused when there are reverberations in the metal. Your stock exhaust and resonators are designed to cancel out certain frequencies of sound that cause the metal to vibrate and cause drone.

TMQ, try to find a local or nearby fanatic with the UUC TSE3 exhaust. It is loud and has a very unique sound to it. Many love it, some hate it. But the bottom line is that Corsa designed that exhaust with resonators that do a VERY good job at canceling out the sound frequencies that cause drone.

The TSE3 is going be a little more wild then your current Magnaflow setup, but in your quest to find an exhaust that doesn't drone, you basically need a system with resonators.

Eisenmann would be a good solution. They do 3 levels of sound. Standard, sport and race. Personally I like race, but sport is a popular choice as it gives you a nice rumble which you'll know is aftermarket but there'll be little or no drone.

I can get you a good deal on Remus!

Let me know.

Please view our catalog here: http://asptuning.com/2008RemusCatalog_web.pdf

and its quiet but with a low nice low tone growl that will give your OEM exhaust a German accent. And of course just like with any exhaust systems it will be loud if you decide to Put the metal to the pedal.

Thanks,

Cut out your muffler competely. Sounds very nice. Nice growl at start up and low rpm driving but on the freeway its pretty quite.
