Supersprint Headers + Full Exhaust for our Z8 - Installation + Driving Sound + Stage 2 Dyno Tuning

The Z8 is a beautiful piece of design, one of BMW's greats. Under the sculpted body hides the S62 V8 from the E39 M5, but from factory you wouldn't know it with the standard exhaust system muffling that glorious V8.
When our friends at Supersprint saw we had added a Z8 to the collection they wasted no time reminding us that they make a full exhaust system including the manifolds... and how could we say no!
So we get the full system fitted, take it out for a drive to hear that wonderful combination and get it on the dyno to see how much more power we've gained with our Stage 2 ECU Tune.

She is a beaut, and now she sings too. NA V8s will always be desirable. Amazing work Evolve.

[@PaleD]

When this car came out I was stunned, ladies and gentlemen they simply DO NOT make them like this anymore. Doing god's honest work Evolve, salut. Man what wheels and lowering does, plus that superprint touch.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

The small touches make a huge difference. The car is elevated to another level.

[@Sam_AMG]

I just realised as I was watching the video, I went from listening carefully to what Imran was saying to smiling from the moment you put the roof down and listening to the car. Another amazing video and as I've said before, what a car! It looks and sounds amazing!

[@chrise2329]

That exhaust is a work of art. The Z8 now has the sound to go with its looks, such a nice car.

[@THEDOPEYDAISY]

For all BMW’s SUPERSPRINT, BILSTEIN, BBS just go beautifully together.

[@playtimecouk]

[@NXT_LVL]

Love the induvial pipes for the headers, makes the install easier compare to a normal long tube headers you'd have for a high performance/drag racing muscle car V8. Packaging it under the car is the hardest part about exhaust design

[@scottrobson4097]

Great choice on the exhaust. That S62 sings more beautifully now. Curious if you guys happened to weigh both exhaust systems to find out how much weigh got dropped from installing the new system? I would expect a significant difference. Cheers Evolve. Keep up the great work and YT content. 👊🙏🍻

[@EvolveAutomotive]

We considered weighing it but the stock system is incredible difficult to weigh on the scales we have so didn’t. Imagine someone has done the comparison for E39 M5 and it wouldn’t be too dissimilar.

Titanium would be a Big loss of weight … and money

[@yaboykawz]

[@lordgibbness]

[@e46racer02]

You should give the Z8 an Eventuri intake to complement the Supersprint exhaust. Then it changes the whole attitude of the car.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Bilal is developing one when he has some free time

[@fbf01]

Sounds insane

[@roadmantop3769]

Perfect 👌

[@1pashar]

Great video. Clear and noticeable improvement. I have a 2002 e39 M5 which I have owned from day one. I obtained the exhaust from you about a year ago and after watching this video I am interested in doing the full system, but I reside in sunny and beautiful California which also has the most stringent smog/emission regulations. Therefore, my concern is whether or not the system you have on the Z8 will be compliant in California. Appreciate your guidance in this matter. Thank you.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Hi, thanks for watching and being a customer! I can't comment on your specific smog laws in California as it's not my area of expertise, but my colleague would be able to answer all your questions if you email [e-mail]. This system is fully road legal in the UK as we have retained the emissions equipment, but I know California have more stringent regulations.

[@seanpaul3050]

Nice exhaust design. BMW should be ashamed of the stock manifold on that car.

[@nige_breaks_bikes9782]

I hoped you would keep the Z8 close to stock as they are so special but ... the exhaust is a work of art and sounds sensational ❤️

[@purplecty740]

Where can those wheel replacements be purchased from?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

From us! [e-mail]

[@avalanx]

Such a pity these don't have a limited slip differential.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Guess it’s sort of a sign of what BMW intended the car to be, that it didn’t share the differential from the E39 M5. Underneath it’s an interesting mix of ‘interesting’ and fairly mundane parts.

[@avalanx]

@@EvolveAutomotive I can imagine the torquey V8 makes it the perfect cruiser. Truly a very special BMW.

[@matthewnicholas6365]

Can't help but think the reason the OEM pipes were fake was to stop heat and smoke damaging the bumper.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

No problems so far, imagine its much more likely due to that being way easier to manufacture and assemble on a production line.

[@matthewnicholas6365]

@EvolveAutomotive maybe this was a trial for BMW as to whether to go this route and they abandoned it then? Seems odd they never did this before or since the Z8, whilst most others all do it now

[@EvolveAutomotive]

The Z8 was very different in design at the time, with the tips coming out from inside the bumper rather than hanging below. Supersprint make an option that retains the standard tip design, but we think the replacement design that follows the cut of the bumper is just stunning, and it really cleans up the design of the rear of the car.

[@DrEMichaelJones]

Beautiful. How long did this install take?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

About 8 hours

[@DrEMichaelJones]

@@EvolveAutomotive Nice. Have you tested it 0-60 yet?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

@@DrEMichaelJones no this car is not about 0-60. It's for Crusing around in the sun. It was done for sound. The power is just a by product.

[@CovKid2K10]

Oem tips I recon looked a bit better, but what a quality system that exhaust is.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Supersprint offer an exhaust that retains the fake tips of the standard system for those that wish. Frankly the slash cut tips following the bumper is a real highlight for us.

[@CovKid2K10]

@@EvolveAutomotive yeh tbf I’m leaning towards the new cut tips having watched the whole video, seems to fit the silhouette of the car a bit better than the stock ones. The z8 painted undertray/diffuser is thing to behold!

am i the only one that has a freeze at 8:22? it's been happening often lately

[@nexusbs]

Any experience without the pre-resonator? 🖖

[@EvolveAutomotive]

We have only installed this exact setup. Without the resonator I would expect a louder exhaust with perhaps a bit more rasp.

@@EvolveAutomotive ok. I am looking for 20inch Alpina classic I rims. Do you have any idea. ?

All these things like Z8 exhaust tuning has been done since decades here in Germany. Therefore you can cool down, all you amazing British schoolboy tuning clowns!

Thanks to such "amazing BMW tuners" like Mr. Imran, BMW classic models like the Z8 finally have transformed from "shitty to useful"! 😂😂😂😂 Thank you Mr. Imran... Because seemingly BMW is so fucking dumb, they just can't do it alone. The need the help from a small British garage tuning company... 😂😂😂😂 Honestly, Mr. Imrans Z8 "tuning" is fucking redundant. All these exhaust system things are totally "old coffee", dude!... As we say here in Germany!

Best to ask Supersprint on that to confirm, they support a huge amount of models including the more unusual ones such as Alpina.

hey there. with some headers you get a slight mis fire low down without a tune. is this because the the o2 sensor can't read it quick enough?
