The Best E46 M3 Rasp Eliminator.... PERIOD

[@VehicleVirals]

Wow! I needed this. right on man!

[@BimmerDude]

Yes you do! Love your videos man e46m is coming along nicely

[@rum3er0]

Christian i tried to go the same route and called up PSI to see if they had any laying around to sell me after i watch your video and heard the reduced RASP. Unfortunately they did not have any so im hitting the Junkyards to see if i can get luck. Thanks again to both of you guys for sharing your videos. Great stuff!

[@theochetty6787]

I actually really liked the sound of your set-up beforehand but this is so good man!

[@aaaaachew]

That makes a huge difference. It sounds fantastic!

[@jake05sti]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! Just did it to my E46 M3 with CPI headers and RE El Diablo... all I can say is WOW. I had CPIs Rasp eliminator on the car for a while and it didn’t do nearly as well at eliminating rasp and actually caused more drone and lost mid range power due to the crossover which lead me to returning the section 1 back to stock. But now I can actually hear my Evolve Carbon Airbox over the exhaust now due to this simple hack almost entirely eliminating the rasp. ZERO downside to this mod!!!

[@statusdefy]

Now that’s a bad ass job AJ. this was very helpful for e46m3 owners

[@FieryWings01]

Love the Dakar yellow color spec you got your m3 in!

[@jikjakz9144]

What a coincidence, def a good catch. Sounds waaaaay better now

[@PhyllisWhite-D2hlknhy]

Just grabbed my extra section 1 to do mine. Thanks for posting!

[@MacOnlea1]

The vid is pretty good. I like you are not just a 'talking head' in the vid but do action shots like you would see in a commercial. Good editing too. Sound levels for both voice and background are clear and loud enough. Great comparison shots, going back and forth to hear the difference was a great idea, made it easier to hear those different notes. I've subscribed.

[@gdsgift4260]

Same I Noticed all that too, It’s different definitely puts effort in and I admire that👍

[@Chicago_Chronicles]

My brotha, you snapped! Sounds good!

[@NateorDean]

Love your videos man! Seriously, keep up the good quality content. Got my subscription to say the least.

[@rcaction8030]

Great Video and info. Thanks man. Nice filming and editing too!

[@willferland]

This is some big brain stuff right here

[@mohamedelwan09]

aftermarket companies hate AJ for this simple hack! That's seriously awesome though, the change is insane

[@BimmerDude]

😆😆🤫

[@BLiquid10]

Awesome job AJ

[@Orehia]

Loved the video and love the difference in sound . Nice change. thanks for sharing.. :)

[@BimmerDude]

😊🥰

[@AlexGray]

Great video, would you say adding that extra resonator made it a lot quieter too or not so much? Thanks

[@BimmerDude]

Thanks!! Muuuuch quieter .. and to be honest it just made the exhaust note more mature.

[@_Chev_Chelios]

5:38 who cringed in horror and disbelief when you saw those nasty exhaust pipes sitting against that custom paint job?

[@vxlgsi]

Now it sounds like an m54 🙃

[@StreetTsukuru]

Sounds amazing! Sounds a lot more throaty.

[@adrianschermer]

really makes me wonder what running the 2 pipes that don't have resonators would sound like

[@vader540is]

Wow sounds soooo much better!

[@89StarKiller]

I didn't understand what OEM part it is you installed?

[@lazarosalazar3366]

You Sir are one of those dangerous thinking folks...🤯

[@pushbikemxvlogs5946]

Just subscribed 🎉 because this guy is smart and cool 😎

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

Sounds great man!

[@BimmerDude]

Thanks man!! It was so simple i had to share 😄

[@TheLPCGAMING]

Modified my status gruppe with Aero AR20 resonators and rasp is minimal, almost the exotic tone im chasing

[@Devrim283]

Wow. Rasp was the only reason i hated the E46 M3. Makin me reconsider it.

[@gravity718]

Would you happen to have a link to your exhaust, or a part number by chance.

[@Renatoopaim]

Good idea! It might be cheaper to get 2 Ar20 resonators for $40 each and weld them. That’s what I have on mine.

[@JS-oi5jt]

I think I'll go with the oem resonator route though.. ..don't know how to weld lol. This is a super easy mod though.

[@BimmerDude]

Thanks man! Yah it all dependsnon what a oem section 1 cost you in your area. Mine was 80$😆

[@joshuamarosey6112]

Watched your video on the road to 300 whp, any new upgrades and or dyno's showing your modifations and power?

[@JS-oi5jt]

Very cool. Why don't more people know about this? rasp is bad

[@LukeVMH-Games]

rasp good.

[@LukeVMH-Games]

rasp=f1 vibes

[@s.lacasse8337]

Well play!

[@INTERLAGOS54]

The mic gain is different in the before and after sounds so it sounds much more muffled in the after. Any updates on the mod?

[@gdsgift4260]

I Agree Fully.

[@gdsgift4260]

Can We Get An Update I want a good sound but also want to kinda hear my car Not have a aggressive sound then have a muffled muffler like wtf

[@joshross2629]

Hey bro, great vid! About to do this set up this weekend. Did you ever fix the two resonators touching? Was there a problem or any sounds while driving around if they are touching? Any insight appreciated thanks!

[@BimmerDude]

Thanks! Honestly they don't touch at all! You don't hear any vibration from them either

[@manuski14]

Your ever end up tak welding the resonators or it still but up against each other? I'm ready for install

[@BimmerDude]

I never needed to actually!

[@TheRoggan123]

Excellent if you dont like the rasp, but in my ears the rasp is what makes the S54 sound unique and racy. Each to their own!

[@yucannthahvitt]

You're almost there... it's still raspy. I don't have my E46 M3 anymore, but the secret to making them sound good instead of like a honda with 2 extra cylinders is the equal lengths. The distance between header collector and h pipe (or x pipe if you're smart), is unequal, even if you buy expensive equal length headers (only the primaries are equal) and this alone makes it sound bad. You can do literally nothing else to a terrible sounding supersprint exhaust M3 but put a modified section 1 on it that has an x pipe and is equal length *between the header collectors and the x pipe* (this is crucial) and the difference is unbelievable.

[@PaleD]

Huge fan of rasp tbh, very mortorsport sounding. OEM Euro headers, stock sec 1/2, and scza v2 makes it sound like a fomula car at high RPM. Another thing that helps with reducing rasp is larger diameter piping. Will be going to a full SS 2.5in dual pipe exhaust throughout.

[@warzone6882]

nice!

[@GekkeAtie]

I have a magnaflow m3 exhaust system with a cat delete but personaly i like the rasp

[@teeribbzz11]

What wheel specs you running man. Shit is just to clean... Deff sounds better I went with the status gruppe the one you showed lol or I would do this too lol

[@betterthenyou99]

Audio missing at 5:55

[@BimmerDude]

Actually no audio missing was just narrating over me working instead of recording all the audio from my tools clinking on the exhaust lol it was fairly loud so I figured this was a better choice

[@x_Heffe_X]

Missing for me too. I think what happened is it’s just coming out of 1 speaker. The 1 headphone I’m not wearing...

[@jinendow]

very cool video, I’m surprised i’ve never seen this done before

[@Blubayou]

Great video!

[@BimmerDude]

🙏 thank you !

[@joemanga350]

What headers on the car? What tune, thx 🙏 amazing car and content.

[@marcuslasey218]

After the rasp Delete did the car get any quieter because video doesn’t really do much justice thank you and I love it I’m gonna do this to my car also.

[@DadUsed2Skate]

When you did this did it quiet it down at all? Or really just tame that rasp

[@ohmracing]

What muffler do you have?

[@seanoneill3501]

Was that standard back box on before clip ?

[@wezy666]

Are you still tuning the oem headers

[@BimmerDude]

Yessir

[@scottiece]

Interesting!! I'll have to try that out. Thanks for the info

[@Osti5000]

do you have EU Headers install ?

[@BimmerDude]

No sir I do not

[@mohamedhussein8737]

I like the rasp

[@BimmerDude]

Enter the other 50% 😁

[@mohamedhussein8737]

Bimmer Dude lol hey I really do enjoy your videos though very good job

[@connievoigt3228]

bmerdude did you stop doing mini cooper videos? Really enjoyed them. No plans to go BMW Carry on :>)

[@BimmerDude]

Sorry to be the one to tell you this...te mini cooper got totalled😔 almost ran over competely by a Cadillac Escalade

[@Livinthedream96]

nice hack but its an additional restriction in the end isnt it

[@BimmerDude]

@@Livinthedream96 ended up making more power 😆

[@Jrittmann8]

Always wondered if this would work😂 now i dont have to spend $600 on the RE rasp pipes

[@Renatoopaim]

Or you can buy 2 AR20 resonators for $40 each! Will do the same.

[@inezvaljee6512]

Before was better man. That’s what is unique about the S54. BMW actually spend a lot of time getting it to sound “metallic”. They even modeled the sound around the Ferrari F355. This is one setup that must stay stock 🙏🏽

[@fwdChris]

Hey man thanks for the vid. Beautiful car. I tried this and the 2 pipes are actually not interchangeable. Putting the resonated pipe on the driver side ends up with the rear flanges at an angle instead of sitting flat against each other. Also the 2 pipes are actually different lengths. I feel like “getting it to work” will end up with exhaust leaks. How did you account for this?

[@cadenyang3058]

Do you have any updates on this? Thinking of trying it but wanna make sure it works 100%.

[@fwdChris]

@@cadenyang3058 the 2 pipes are not interchangeable. I ended up buying a used oem section, cut and welded the silencer into the non-silencer side and it’s perfect now. It really gets rid of the rasp well. But you need to be able to weld.

[@ChefNorrawitJ]

nice brotha!

[@stevendibble5739]

Am I the only one that loves the S54 chainsaw? Sounds like nothing on the road. Now she sounds more 'conventional' IMO.

[@BimmerDude]

I definitely don't dislike it LOL maybe I'm just getting old who knows LOL

[@shamjithrp]

Rasp is the best part about the e46 m3. No two ways about it.

[@deplorabledave1048]

Let me correct your title. "Most cost effective way to suppress 80% of the rasp in the s54 motor in the E46 M3." But even two LARGER Magnaflow resonators will not do what ONE BORLA MID PIPE will do for rasp supresssion. Borla Mid Pipe. the very very BEST rasp elimator for the S54, bar NONE, PERIOD!!!!! The Borla elimates 98% of the rasp. WAAAY more than any other. My 2005 owned since 2009 sounds like THIS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXuTdKSjiamZl5o kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKqvhpaPh9dknck Like a FERRARI after 6K RPM!!! I wish I could cut apart a Borla and re create some more. You cant buy one anymore. Discontinued! WHY??? I have no idea. All the sound clips with myn combo are 16 to 19 years old. Headers, no cats, Borla Mid, El Diablo muffler...the regular one, not the race version.

[@stemcleeds]

Rasp was better

[@BimmerDude]

Im getting old I guess lol
