at first i thought it was a williams bmw f1 car.

upon watching more of the videos, i seriously want to know what the redline on that thing is...it seriously sounds like its pushing 10k or 11k, at least....

Standard is 8k rpm, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had upped the redline limit over stock as this is a highly tuned M3 CSL.

It sounds so nice, like you said, just like an F1 car.

I love it.

Sounds mean but a little too obnoxious for the street.

I'm a bit biased but I still prefer the sound of my WRX:

Sorry guys I couldn'y really hear anything over the supercharger wine

 

[fstime]

Meh.....

 

[Aharami]

that is pure sex. give me that over American V8 anyday (not that I dont like that deep rumble of a V8)

 

[essasin]

Awesome! Reminds me of a mix between a moto gp bike and a high revving f1. But I would like to hear that supercharger scream a bit.

Doesn't sound much above that i don't think.. 8.5, maybe 9k.

Yeah, doesn't sound too much higher, if at all, than the standard M3. the M3 is a screamer anyhow.

Hmmm, tempting....

That is a beautiful thing. I'm a V8 guy, but this brought a smile to my face.

I'd take this car any day over that screeching M3. I'm not fond of cars that sound like sport bikes, because I don't like the sport bike sound. A powerful car should have a big mean sound to match it's looks.

Bah, one of my old bosses had a loaner M5 to drive while is Benz AMG was in the shop and that thing sounded mean. It didn't sound like some ricer or anything, it sounded like a '68 Camero or something.

Yeah, they sound like that during cold start. They don't smooth out until the engine has a bit of heat in it.

I came in to post the first video you had already posted. It's listed on youtube as CSL straight pipe exhaust. Pretty damn sexy.

Sounds similar to my WRX (PPP).

the BMW sounds good but too loud if it's a street car. i'd rather hear more whine and less akward rasp. if it's a race car, who cares, they're meant to be loud and no one cares what they sound like.

the subaru sounds pretty great with the downpipe and stock muffler. the aftermarket exhaust sounds like any old ricer to me. maybe not as farty as your average riced out civic, but certainly not anything special. and i bet it drones like a bitch on the highway.

Straight pipes or bust. I can't justify $1,500-2,000 for a muffler that does nothing but sound differently.
