you have a topspeed exhaust (ebay muffler). the rasp terminator is whats taking out the rasp. putting a stock section 1 and the topspeed exhaust will make it super raspy and loud. Pairing it with some headers will sound much better and youll get a lot of rasp too. IMO, rouge el diablo muffler and headers is the best sounding exhaust set up.
Have you tried a Becker exhaust by any chance? I've bought one but never installed it. But on videos it sounds deep on others but never seen a E46 M sound. I also have another section 1 to take apart for the other resonator to install for rasp delete.
No unfortunately, we have never heard the becker exhaust, but when you install it send it over to the our instagram account: @bav.life, so we can hear what it sounds like!
OEM Euro headers??? You mean "exhaust manifold"! Bimmers in Europe do not come with "headers". They come with cast iron exhaust manifolds that are slightly different in flow pattern/routing than for other markets. How do I know? 'cause I've had both, Euro spec M3's and North American spec M3's.
Sounds AWFUL and FULL OF RASP! I owned my 2005 E46 for 19 years. It sounds like this. th-cam.com/video/CJ0CqmTDfa8/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/ByLUcYRr1gg/w-d-xo.html It SCREAMS high pitched like a frikken Ferrai after 6K RPM. It burbles down LOW at idle. You must have that exact combo which is hard now. Borla Mid pipes are ONLY on the used market since they dont make them any more. The Borla mid is the ONLY pipe that KILLED 99.9% of the rasp in the E46 M3's S54 motor.
i love the rasp, im surprised people dont like the rasp. its the signature of the m3 s54
it's the worst thing.

Thank you for the advice, we will definitely try that next in hope of fulfilling our goal, and getting that rasp back!
I like the rasp from my CSl, i let everthing Stock for sure. Regards from Germany Tom
S54 should be raspy it's actually racy as an m3 should sound!
Each to their own opinion, personally that’s the 1 thing I don’t like about the M3, the raspy sound of the exhaust
Dope M3. Change back the exhaust tips to the stock oval, in my humble opinion
We are actively working on that 😂

Oem euro headers, stock sec 1, stock sec 2, SCZA V3 muffler will give you the F1 high pitch wail with a refined rasp accoutrement. Ask me how I know.
We’ve heard videos 👀, definitely an option!

It sounds like mine,I hear the rasp and it doesn't sound like an e36m3.My e36m3 had no rasp at all.
Lowk want it to sound like an e36, add carbon airbox, mclaren f1😎
Love s54 and rasp more, but if going for mf1 sounds those revs are almost perfect for baby mclaren f1 vibes
I like it. I hate rasp.
see ya in mexico soon…
Take out one of the resonators. You will get the rasp back.
High pitched and raspy. Compare 4:25 to this th-cam.com/video/M8w77meQ4zU/w-d-xo.html
It sounds like a big 2stroke bike 🙈
That Grey interior ruins the lsb... swap that out
that is still too raspy
Sounds AWFUL and FULL OF RASP!

Raspy sounds like honda fart can, instead of butter smooth 2j sound, hell nah
