Re:E36 318ti exhausts tested

Item Subject: cc:Mail Text
     I'm glad I chose the Supersprint I exhaust system for my ti as it not 
     only did well in this test, it performs well in my "seat of the pants" 
     testing.
     
     Regarding Rick Kjeldsen's comments:

     The power comes on earlier compared to the stock exhaust and pulls 
     well till redline. Peak power and torque numbers don't tell the whole 
     performance story. Width of power band matched to the car's gearing 
     define critical pieces of the performance package. 
     
     Deeper exhaust tone and the big, chrome exhaust tip also have variable 
     esoteric values. Mine cost $430 US from BMP delivered to my door and I 
     installed it in 30 minutes.
