How do you like that exhaust? Did you do axel back or cat back?

I got the catback. I like it very much. There were no issues with quality or fitment. I could tell a performance difference on the stock vehicle and sound was awesome (car is being built now so next time I drive it it will have high flow catted downpipes and stage 2 tune so will see the difference). I am excited to get yhebGo on the M240 to see how it wakes it up.

Thanks! I find the stock exhaust to be a bit muted. Looking for something to liven it up, but won’t be doing a down pipe.

Sounds like an ev from the factory, especially in efficient mode with valves closed. Little better in sport / sport + with valves partially opened. If not wanting to go full exhaust, check out a mid replacement. Wakes her right up especially with an equal length like AA and you can always expand to an axle back or down pipe later as well if needing more.

What are your thoughts on EL vs single. Have read a lot of posts, but still undecided.

I personally like the more aggressive tone of the EL, especially if keeping all else stock. But, if planning on a down pipe or axle back too then the single would keep it a bit more under control, especially if opting for the resonated version. Single will also save you a few extra lbs.

Thanks. Not going to do a DP. I’m considering axel-back (still valved), but would likely come later.

For those interested in retaining factory downpipes, this is a sound clip only with our catback setup and quad carbon fiber tips. Have a listen for hose wanting to compare the sound against our full catless or catted setups.
