In reality, OP proposed paying extra for faster delivery, which I declined, explaining that I couldn't guarantee expedited shipping since I'm not the shipper in this case (it's active). Without providing this context, a future customer might contact me, concerned that we don't process orders promptly based on what they've read, or they might prematurely worry about their order's timing due to misconceptions formed from online posts (and this happens all the time, where a customer is already upset before even talking to me because of some post they read online). This is why it's important to me to address these issues by providing the context. Explaining the situation to you, who isn't directly involved, feels somewhat uncomfortable, to be honest. However, I do appreciate your feedback. If my response seemed unfriendly and upset OP, that was not my intention, and i am willing to apologize for any misunderstanding.

I stated that I had already been told that it was shipping from AA, but that if you would be shipping it instead, that I would like expedited shipping–the response was a PayPal invoice for $75. This gave me the impression that you were shipping it instead now, and that I should expect it to ship any moment... This is just all a misunderstanding/lack of communication and isn't a big deal. |

Regarding the expedited shipping you requested, I had to decline because it's shipping directly from the manufacturer, and based on my experience with manufacturer drop shipping, it rarely works, whether it is because manufacturers don't process the order quickly enough for the expedited shipping to make sense or if they forget and end up sending the order with regular shipping. It looks like you requested expedited shipping in your order notes, which i was unaware of when we spoke by dm. My shipper, unaware of our conversation on the forums, contacted Active for a quote on expedited shipping. After you paid the quoted amount, he processed the order with expedited shipping. Unfortunately, the order was sent via regular shipping, just as I had feared might happen. I appreciate your understanding in this matter. Other customers might not be as understanding and could hold us responsible, which is why I don't offer this option. I've refunded the expedited shipping charge, so we should be squared away now. If my response came across as unfriendly or caused any offense, I sincerely apologize. Text communication can sometimes lead to misunderstandings, and considering English is my third language, it does not make it easier.

So... I've had the Supersprint downpipes and mid-pipe on for a few days, and there is a *lot* of burbling when I let the throttle off anywhere under 4K RPM or so.
I have completely disabled ASC using BimmerCode (this is much nicer btw), but these burbling sounds seem to be organic. Is this to be expected with a stock tune? Will a stage 1 tune alleviate it? I really hate that sound. Any other tips/tricks I should know about? |

I didn't even read his post, I just ass-u-me'd that you meant getting in the driveway.

Ok so I’m not moving for at least 6 years until my kid is out of school. Looking for a building in the meantime.
Yes, steep driveway up to a raised garage. The only solution I can think of short term is grinding down the edge of the concrete going into the garage. One of my E36 are so low that it gets stuck on the unibody behind the front wheels 🥲 |

Installing a flash tune and removing them would be one way. Another way is staying out of sports mode. Boring..

I used washers between brace and body. Those tiny bolts are not structural, so no probs with spacing down.

I can tell you that it dropped a good 40 lbs of weight off the car, looks cleaner underneath, and has noticeably more power. Talk to the Supersprint rep on whatsapp (it's on their website). They are very friendly and responsive. They will send you video links and such. |

Hrm, I wasn't aware of that. If I turn that off, it sounds civil (but anemic under throttle). I will tinker with it.

This is the sound (as good as a GoPro MAX can pick it up mounted on the license plate) at low speed then WOT from 30-100mph. I should have caught some downshifts and such in there... I have extra footage; I'll put up another video tonight of what it sounds like off the throttle and driving around in suburbia.
This is Sport+ everything, M sound on, sequential S3. I believe I started in 2nd gear. Last edited by aremmell; 02-12-2024 at 06:38 PM.. Reason: fix link |

As promised, here's the few minutes following that WOT roll. You can get a better idea for the sound of my setup in this video, complete with ridiculous amounts of "burbling" during throttle-closed deceleration (between about 2-4K RPM).
My friend who knows quite a bit more about turbos and engines in general than I do said that since the cats are missing from the downpipes, the computer is adjusting the timing / adding extra fuel that flows out of the exhaust port in an attempt to heat up the non-existent catalytic converters so that they perform more efficiently. The only way to get rid of that godforsaken burbling (afaik) is to put the cats back, get one of these, or get a flash tune. Personally, I cannot stand that sound so I have been driving with flaps closed until I get the car tuned. If you listen closely, you might hear the mid-pipe vibrating up against the brace when I am driving very slowly Oh well; AA brace with more clearance will be here mañana. |
