Looking at my exhaust photos, I must get around to rust-proofing and undersealing the rust spots under the car!
Advice required on best method of reducing Exhaust Drone on 2.8i Z3

Nicely done, just one thing. Do you have any more pictures, specifically a little wider shot? I know this might be difficult without the car on a lift but it's difficult to see the snake you have there without a larger view.
Well done though!
Thank you!

Hi folks
The J-Pipe article was me:
https://zroadster.org/threads/z3-2-8-based-ferrari-250-build.45859/page-4 go to post #80
The J-Pipe killed about 80% of the drone.View attachment 195693View attachment 195695
I would however say that I wanted a loud, burbly exhaust as mine is a Fauxrarri and should sound more racey than a Z3 2.8 (sets off car alarms when under load).
If you are looking for a nice smooth cruising experience forget a custom Stainless setup, unless you plan on fitting reasonably large backboxes/mufflers, they are inherently noisier. Go instead for the already mentioned OEM setup. Mine originally came with OEM setup with an AC Schnitzer backbox (now sold to @spurs fan in a coupe ) which sounded great on a Z and was drone-free.
If you want SS system contact Dave or Mark at Redhill Classics:
Stainless Steel Custom Exhausts in Redhill, Car Servicing in Redhill
Redhill Classics (Surrey) Ltd provides high-end stainless steel custom exhausts in Redhill and the surrounding areas. Find out more about our extensive car servicing.www.redhillclassics.co.uk
Great quality and price. SS cat-back exhaust with no silencers £280 (would be £380 ish with backboxes), J-Pipe £90.
You pay your money and take your choice!

Lots of firms seem to be responding very slow maybe due Covid but when I wanted mine I took car straight there but was a few years ago
