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

Take some videos of the exhaust sound.![]()
Thanks!
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)
