Definitely loving the Z3. Your exhaust builds are really really clean. Lotta talent. Sound quality is very nice and gives the car a more aggressive quality. Keep it up. 👌🏻👌🏻

This is the best video by far. I've been looking for a video that demonstrates before and after sound effects with this ultra quiet vibrant resonator. I myself had my eye on this type of resonator to install on my 4th generation maxima. And I have been doing my research on the type of sound that am particularly looking for. This video helped out in determining the final application for my maxima. Thanks again

New 2022 Mach1 HP owner here. Im thinking about my Active Exhaust options to comply with racetracks that have noise restrictions. One of the options Im considering is replacing the stock resonator with two Vibrant Ultra Quiet resonator bottles. Other option is keeping stock resonator and trying to fit regular Vibrant resonators behind it. Last option is an H-pipe combined with ultraquiet vibrants. Although I love the stock sound, I want to avoid getting kicked out of HPDE events when I use the Mach1 at W.O.T. Ive read that some M1 HP owners just pulled the AE fuse while the engine is running in AE quiet or normal mode, before pitting out on the track. Any suggestions?

I think the biggest offender and pretty common for whatever reason on BMW engines is rasp, there can be a few causes, and this did a good job curing that as well, its noticeable in before and after on the light revs during warm start to my ear. Loud engine noises are nice but when it just sounds like metal rattling around not so much, this is way better, more actual engine sound just enough volume reduction. Pretty good win win. Additionally i like duel pipes aesthetically but from single exit, or on most inline engines often don't like the way they alter sound, this one turned out good though, you still have some meat to the sound rather then it being too smoothed out. Must be just within margin of error i bet if you would of had even 1/8 inch larger on each the duel pipes wouldn't have sounded as nice.
