Knowing how Corsa designs their systems, I don't see how you gain more power from any other aftermarket system. Personally, I think the stock system is fairly efficient, power gains with any aftermarket system is going to be small. Installation is a snap, the exhaust fits perfectly. Regards, Rich

I've had 2 other people that do welding look at it and say, "damn, the welding on this thing is awesome!". Fourth, it fits perfectly, no muss no fuss. Once the old one was off and the hangers were moved to the new one, it took 10 minutes to put it back on. No Dyno data yet, but I will have some in May. But, the butt dyno says, yes there is a bit more ummph under the hood ( I also have a set of shorty headers, so I am expecting a little gain in power/torque). I should be at the track right now wringing this thing out, but alas spring refuses to come to New England and our event was canceled for today because of yesterday's impending snow storm.

One thing to note, the sound changes after driving it for a couple days. It must be the packing in the resonators or something. When I first put it on I was like, "Oh crap, this thing is friggin LOUD." But after driving it around a little, it quieted down quite a bit. Now I think it is just about perfect. Going WOT through underpasses/tunnels is a whole new experience. :) -----Original Message----- I think you have answered my questions, and the Corsa is the one I am going to get. Thanks for all the feedback from everyone, much appreciated. Matt 98 M3/4 Middletown, DE -

Agreed. > I don't get it, 92dB for a race car... Not to necessarily defend LS, but the 92dB days are mostly for "club" type events, like schools, etc. "Real" race weekends do get higher dB limits - for example the upcoming SCCA Vintage/BMW Club Race weekend has a limit of either 101dB or 103dB (time-of-day dependent). And FWIW (and I've probably mentioned before), the JP car has not had any sound issues in the 5 years I've been attending events there with it - "low" and "high" sound limits. JimC intake/chip, cams & RE exhaust (stock cats still in place). Jim Bassett

Many statutory bodies around the world currently mandate that vehicles comply with stationary exhaust noise tests specifications - Generally based upon the "SAE J1169 Measurement of Light Vehicle Exhaust Sound Level under Stationary Conditions". California and various other states now have legislation that makes exceeding this limit an offense, resulting in a "fix it" ticket and required testing certification. The test involves positioning a type 1, SIA compliant ANSI S1.4 - 1983 noise level meter, specifically as illustrated in the diagram: http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/tse3/noise_test.gif Positioning is relevant, the tests are extremely specific in their scope and must be conducted under controlled conditions. The test mandates that sound level must not exceed 95dB. The RSC36 unofficially passes the SAE J1169 test, or "officially" as some of our customers in CA have taken their M3s in to testing centers there. - Rob Levinson UUC Motorwerks ----- Original Message ----- From: <jeff.conner@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [E36M3] Re: UUC Exhaust - Corsa > Rob, > > Just as a matter of asking, do you know what the sound output is on these at WOT? > > I'm currently looking for a light catback that I can put on my track car permanent-like so I don't have to swap in the stocker every time I want to run at Laguna Seca (with their ludicrous 92dB rule on regular track days).
