E30 Zone

how loud is the pipe on your e30.

i can sort a feel mine through the car.(325i)
its a non standard pipe (should have made a note of the name)

i thought there might be some thing wrong some where
so got it on a pit in work and a mate rev'd the car up.
could'nt find any thing wrong anyware.

my brother said he can here me coming and going when i rag it

yeh mines pretty loud too

standard manifold and downpipes
followed by scorpion centre section and powerflow back box

makes a gorgeous mettalic sound when ya nail it tho

iv got twin pipe straighty from manifold downpipe. the back box is scorpion dtm. got a profmance filter on to, she sounds very nice and people can hear me coming toooo so id say she quiet loud

I had mine tested at castle coombe the other week and it was showing 92db

I only have a peco backbox, (soon to be changed) but its quite loud when being nailed!
and louder when it had a hole in it!

imagine us all on a run together.

the public would think the end was near.

12pm tommorow

everyone rev it up all at once

mine is very loud,but a very deep rumble that can set off car alarms .although its of no relevance to the e30 engine but ive got a single 3" pipe from the turbo straight through to the back box with no centre box.i love to cruise at slow speed in a high gear just for the rumble followed by the loud hiss from the dump valve when i lift off the gas

89.6 dB's the last time I had it sound checked @ Castle Coombe, stationary, holding revs at 4krpm

Mine is proper chav loud!

Previous(chav) owner had full powerflow stainless put on it,he told me he asked for it to be as loud as poss.
Bit embarrasing in town,but sounds ace at full chat!

I reckon it won't be far off 100db

My IS is quite loud but in a good way. Has a lovely metallic raspy rattle note when you put ur foot down. Similar to the new m3's tailpipe sound. Sounds great when you boot it. Has a nice throb at idle too. Its a powerflow backbox on it. Not too loud tho.

mine is quiet as a whisper. gotta love those Ԛ£78 rear sections from gsf

Well the powerflow system on my 325 has taken a dislike to its inners and has spat most of the packing out the back, so needless to say its loud but at full chat its awesome, sounds like all hell has broken loose!

i went thru the chav phase on my first e30 and i stuck on savage backbox (i no complete shit) only good thing about it was it was so loud it used to set car alarms off if i nailed it when driving past

gone for the standard approach and sounds sweet as so not really complaining

My 335i with only a Scorpion stainless rear box (no other silencing) growels like a 1970's Porsche 911 above 4000 rpm!

Well mine is what you would probably refer to as council or chav

Loud is not really what describes it, Fcuking Loud and your getting more to the point, Extremely Fcuking loud and you have hit the nail on the coffin so to speak ,

Ask Anyone that has seen or heard the car from the zone they all hate it , it sets off alarms , scares people crossing the street , drowns out people with loud ICE, when you pull up next to them drowns out my own ICE , you cannot leave the engine running and have a conversation outside of the car , at petrol stations i have to switch the engine off at night when the shop is closed as the man behind the window can not hear what anyone is saying , the list goes on

straight through Powerflow twin pipe System, cheap as hell but sounds like it was born in hell!

Its GGGGRRRRRREEEEEAAAAAAAATTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive heard your motor Patrick and its bit fuckin loud

serious bass, luv it

mine is a standard factory exhaust twin exit has a very low rumble but best thing about it is it makes a hissing

sound a bit like when you leave a gas cooker on......but i love it sounds like a jet when im driving at high speeds

fuck know why it sounds like that coz its completly standard but its great

my gte run around is very loud.. can hear it from miles of.. standard backbox with powerflow centre section.. almost a shame bout the standard backbox or it would pop flames..

i welded up a strait through muffler in place of the rear muffler. it goes 2 into 1 which is a bit odd but has a 3 1/2 inch dump pipe on it. you can hear it at low rpm from about 3 blocks away but in the car with windows up isnt too bad. the other day i set off 3 car alarms in a row. i guess you poms would call it "chav" most people just call it offensive. my mate gets in the other day n looks at me really puzzled n says did u put a v8 in this thing? and my mates sister goes "jesus boy what you put under the hood of this thing".

My dads is extremely loud. C/f airbox supersprint centre section and back box. That aint even the race system

Mine's quiet, honest.

mine is quite loud specially when u nail it, mine has a scorpion centre section and I think a scorpion back box. Isnt loud when your cruising between 30-60 but around 70 its at its loudest!

Mine can hardly be heard... just a slight whistle coming from the rusty mid section.
