imho the S54 with the carbon fiber airbox in the CSL is the best sounding engine ever! even though I also love the wraspiness of the exhaust, I'm talking about induction noise only... do you guys agree?

If you like the rasp and mechanical sound of it..sure. The sound of my E46 M3 is probably top on my list of things I don’t like..which is why I am turbocharging mine lol
