One will experience a high smell of unburnt fuel. (due to the open exhaust w\/o any catalysts) and development of a RASPY like sound of which the BMW S54 engine is notorious for with the BMW Stock Section 1 when equipped. This raspy like sound is a matter of engine sound harmonics at a specific RPM range, a sort of resonance that is very loud and noticeable when the engine is revving at or above 4,000 rpm.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is the BMW section 1 - where the RASP like noise emits from.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBMW SECTION 1 for Rasp Elimination on BMW E46 M3With the Active Autowerke Exhaust SECTION 1 installed, the BMW performance gains are about the same as running the factory section 1.
