New BabyM added to the family

Hello........I finally took delivery of my M2 after over a year of browsing this forum. In that time I followed all the useful information that lead me to modify the car in a way I would never normally do.....my modifications are:

Eibach sport springs with 12mm spacers at the front and 10mm at the back

Fabspeed HFC and muffler bypass

The car is still being run in so I can't comment on additional power let off by the cat. What I can say is that the car sounds insane....the pops and bangs are boisterously loud - the only car I've driven with a more outlandish exhaust is the Jaguar F-Type R.....the Mercedes AMG GTS is a close third.

The quality of the fabspeed exhaust is superb although the fitting of the bypass was difficult and there is still an issue that Fabspeed will need to fix for me.

Thank you

Downpipe is perfect

The Bypass has a manufacturing defect that has one side of the pipe set at an incorrect angle

How are you running without a Front plate? I've got a small plate, but not running without. Unless you have a detachable.

Let's just say it's fallen off until I get politely asked by the police to put it back on

Congratulations ! Did you have to do any tuning with the fabspeed downpipe ? I was looking at the supersprint down pipe and it mentioned on their website that it requires tuning.

No tuning - plug and play. No CELs either

I'm sure a tune might get more out of it but I'm not totally sure
