Is the Supersprint Still available?

[UberWagen]

I know definitely after I get through with paying for Fall and Spring tuition, a Stromung is goin on the car, and then some DJ Auto angel eyes. I wouldn't say the Stromung sounds ricey. The ones I've heard sound pretty mellow to my standards. Then again I live down here where everyone has a chevy truck and straight pipes it lol. Does anyone make headers specifically for a Ti for a decent price?

So to those who do have the stromung, Does it sound anything like a honda or acura? I was thinking about adding a resonator to quiet things up a bit.

The only headers ever shown to make any gain on the M44 are the supersprint headers, anything else is a waste of money.

Supersprint are a waste of money anyway, it's a very minor gain compared to the price and how hard it is to install (at least up here where exhaust nuts will rust solid)

the stock exhaust manifold is a pretty nice set of tube headers, I'd just keep them

What do you mean by mellow? I wish i had someone around town who had one so i can hear it. I am pretty sure im getting it though. I have the Orion V2 angel eyes in my car, they are sick! Really really bright, nice thin circles. Looks OEM. Ill post pics of my car. I recommend them, bought them from Umnitza.com

Yea i agree with that. I really dont think they are worth it for an m42 or m44 unless you had some extreme mods. The factory headers on out cars are pretty nice/decent

Check this thread for audio/video samples of a variety of cat-backs on the 318ti.

Stromung actually sounds good! Descision made! Stromung it is. What are some common setups you guys run with these cars.

Im thinking High flow cat, stromung exhaust....What size piping you guys use?

My Strömung reminds me of my old TR6 exhaust...nice mellow old Brit car sound...but not many people out there remember those sounds these days

i really wish i'd recorded the sound of my Supersprint with the M44 engine...

omg the sound!! seriously, it used to burble and spit... even nicer after the de-cat. it really was lovely... now i've got an M50 lump it sounds deeper, i'll give it that - but it isn't as heavenly as with the previous engine.

i'll gladly sell it.... but you lot are all in the U.S..... if someone wants it - they'd have to pay postage and that, and its definitely a Supersprint i've got - comes in two pieces, and it doesn't hit the crossmember (its bent slightly - maybe previous owner had it bent to fit nicely)
