I am contemplating the W&N exhaust (Fritz is out of stock with sometime in April as earliest ETA), my question is, how does it sound compared to my rusty (but nice sounding) stock steel exhaust presently held together by JB Weld? I don't want tinny, I want burble with overtones of deep badass. What's the consensus from those with this system? I want to get this enroute before we all go to war. Thanks.

I have the RHD stainless version from Jaymic, which I believe is the same as from W&N - happy to be corrected.
Very happy with how it sounds on the CSL.
 
I have the W&N exhaust (same as fritz, right?) and I wouldn't call it tinny in any way. Compared to the e3 steel exhaust, I'd say the W&N exhaust has an even deeper tone at idle, and a little more high pitched at higher revs, either way, I'm very happy with the sound.
 
Nice deep burble at idle, cruising is quieter than I’m used to the small resonator is part of that I guess but when accelerating hard 3-6000rpm it comes alive for me it’s spot on, sounds great.
 
I like the sound of mine. Not too loud but definitely louder than the stock and should help enhance the audible driving sensation you might have diminished with your beautiful intake system.

Steve you have heard my car, b35 exhaust manifold. Late 635 down pipe cut off the cat. And adapt to original center, resonator, and rear muffler. My center section is a old super sprint. This is the best combo I have had after driving E9s for 47 years. Nice grumble at idle, breathless rasp on full acceleration, quiet hum rest of the time. This is something I am really happy with .
 
Yes Tom yours sounded great. What does everyone use for the rear tail pipe clamp that attaches to the last rubber hanger by the bumper? It's part number 18211102888 and it's not included in the hanger kit I got along with the exhaust.
 
I just used the old (rusty) clamp from the original exhaust. I wired brushed it but probably should have treated it as it looks rusty again.
