Like when going over a rumble strip?

I'm thinking of the deep low sound from startup. It lets me know when the car is ready at the shop.

No, the rumble I'm referring to is the "vibration" you get from something like a V8 muscle car when at idle or slightly blipping the throttle.

Really hard to explain. lol

I now know exactly what you're talking about.

Nice detailed work here.Great job :thumbsup

Great werk! Loved my TSE3 but just a tad too loud in a vert (for me).

Take some videos of the exhaust sound. :)

It's definitely not quiet, and I can understand it being too loud (especially in a vert). I'm going to keep it on for a while either way before I decide if I'm keeping it, right now I'm loving it.

I'll do a cold start from the outside tomorrow! My iPhone's been giving me weird grief where it starts recording, I get in the car, turn it on, rev it, etc., and then I come out and it only records the last 2-3 seconds of video. Not sure what's up with that. I need to get some sort of GoPro setup to do any driving stuff though. My hastiness to do the TSE3 install messed with my own plans to do a comparison video of:

• stock intake w/ stock exhaust
• BMW Performance intake w/ stock exhaust
• GruppeM intake w/ stock exhaust
• stock intake w/ TSE3 exhaust
• BMW Performance intake w/ TSE3 exhaust
• GruppeM intake w/ TSE3 exhaust (current)

Maybe down the road...

Topped the car's coolant off with distilled water. It was probably short only an ounce or two but I hadn't checked the level since I flushed the coolant.

Also topped off the oil which was down a bit from the last time I checked a week or two ago. I assume it's the valve cover gasket. I'll have to order parts...

Nice work!

I am so lagging behind on updating my project thread. I am planning to replace the vanos, vcg and spark plugs soon...

Good maintenance update. I loved my TSE3 (as I've said a hundred times on here)
