Is the Supersprint Still available?
 
Was going through a bunch of really old threads about the stromung and supersprint exhausts. All of the sites previously listed do not cary the Ti Supersprint system anymore. Anyone know where I can buy it?

Single tip supersprint

checked ebay for a used one? and racing dynamics is the same exhaust just not SS branded for less money fyi. but best bet would be to check ebay or google it. im sure if you really want it youd look hard for one. i think someone on here sold their rd a few months back so you can also sit around and wait but i doubt anyone has a new SuperSprint exhaust.

EDIT: my bad on my stupidity. RD is a rebranded Remus exhaust and is still easy to find. i just did a simple google shopping search and found a few. prices are pretty steep, but hey i guess you have to pay to play :P

Thanks for the response. Have been searching but no luck online. Kinda leaning toward the stromung to be honest.

THAT318 06-28-2010 09:34 AM

yea i feel you. sound preference and tip appearance is what matters with our cars. theres deff no serious power gains from an exhaust on a 4banger bimmer. you like the stromung, find one. it will be hard but you like it dig for it i guess. good luck with the search ill let you know if i see anything.

Thanks bro, the stromung is pretty easy to find from understeer.com. Like you said, no real power gains from a 4 banger. This is my first 4 cyl BMW. So far many of the exhausts ive hear on youtube sound like civic exhausts. Totally not cool lol.

One of the online vendors had a Supersprint clearance sale a few months ago...sold out immediately.
I have a Stromung also. Not too bad after it's broken in...not quite Honda fart-can levels. (a 4 banger will sound like a 4 banger..can't do much about it)

Turner motorsports sells one. They want an arm and a leg for it though.

a grand is rediculous for an exhaust on out lil ti's.

I gotta Remus from BavAuto.com not to long ago. They were having a sale.
I know most say you wont get a significant power gain from the 4cyl but I know when I put mine on, I def felt more power and quicker in the higher RPM's. Sounds real good too.....not ricey or too loud.

99% of the time, it's just the driver's reaction to the new sound. Same thing when people fog their airbox and make claims that it made a HUGE improvement.

Remus:cool:

Although if I could get a supersprint I would be all over it. There was an article floating around that showed the supersprint offering the best gains on the M44 engine. I believe it was around a whopping 2-3hp...:rolleyes: Don't expect much from a catback.

Edit - Found the comparo...http://www.unofficialbmw.com/e36/per...aust_test.html

The Stroemung has a very nice sound to it, especially if you clearance the midpipe properly so that it doesn't rattle against the frame crossmember.

Yea i think that $1K+ is a little much for just a catback for a 4 banger. I know its quality but still. Seem to be turning towards the stromung more and more.

So to those who do have the stromung, Does it sound anything like a honda or acura? I was thinking about adding a resonator to quiet things up a bit.

Supersprint does still have a muffler available for the ti. It's not a complete cat-back anymore, but it's stainless. The price is a little out of control. Also, Dinan still lists an exhaust for the ti as well.

If anyone managed to make an M44 sound like "a honda or acura" it would probably be with one of those straight-through glasspack arrangements, where more attention is paid to making sure the exhaust tip is disproportionately too large for the vehicle it's installed on, than resonance tuning.

The Stroemung has a proper baffle, and gives the 'ti a low exhaust signature, throaty midrange (as throaty as it gets for an M44), and... well at the top end you can't really hear the exhaust anyways, can you?

You do not need to install an additional resonator to keep the Stroemung well-behaved or pleasing to the ears. You do, however, have to properly clearance the midpipe so it doens't rattle against the frame. There are a couple of writeups here in the forum.
