All good.

This is not my video. I had viewed the original first clip. I reached out to him over Instagram. He was good enough to supply me the other clip of the car driving and the photo of his Muffler. I just combined the videos and photo together and uploaded to my personal YouTube account.

The owner of the car ordered the car with M Performance Exhaust. This delayed his order by 3 months. Once he received his car it was already installed. And he took the video of the original clip shared.

Lots of folks doubted the video. All one has to do is try to find the guy and just get details versus just assuming things..like a few did.

I just installed mine the other day. I've been keeping an eye on them since November of last year. At the time of writing this there's only three left in the US in distribution centers.

First impressions.. It's not quite as loud as I was expecting, but the tone is really nice. It's still super civilized on the highway, but really opens up under load.

Here's a couple short clips. The exhaust valve fuse is pulled in the start-up video, so it's a little louder like that.

Agree, it doesn't seem as loud as I was hoping under load.

Really like the sound/tone on idle though.

I'm really leaning toward AA downpipe and MPE exhaust, just kinda worried once I get it all then a flood of new catbacks come out I like better.

Is it just stainless steel? I was just under my car the other day and observed that the stock catback exhaust is pretty dang large for a car of this HP, so I don’t imagine there is anything to gain but sound. Would be nice to drop some weight from this pig of a car.

Finally, another member in Utah! Would love to hear this in person before I pull the trigger on it, if you're up to it. Also, I find it hilarious that you did this right in the BMW dealer's parking lot. lol Did they do the install for you? I'm curious as for what it cost you if they did.

EDIT: Just re-read your post and saw that you installed it. How was the process overall?

Is the cold start in comfort mode louder or the same as stock?

Going to install it first if its still a little quiet I'll grab the downpipe. I just wish I could have ordered the car with it already on it.

They would never. Dual tips are reserved for M cars.

My issue was even the tips in the video look really weird and cost a bit more to get. A good exhaust shop and some cerakote im sure can make something that looks stellar.
