SAE smoothing 5 on a dynojet. I couldn't live with the drone so I replaced it with the Akra Evolution (similar tone, slightly smoother and quieter. Overall I like the noises better). Haven't been back to dyno yet. Might do it this fall when humidity drops because despite the best correction, humidity and heat inside a building will still wreck the results. Akra claims gains but I don't really believe it. |

My first mod will be to code out the annoying cold start procedure. My M3 sounded like a vacuum cleaner sucking up nails every time I started it. Ugh. I test drove 7 used M2s this weekend. I'm almost ready to pick one. While the stock M2 exhaust sounds dramatically better than my recently sold 2016 M3, the MPE is simply glorious. It was standard in the M2 Performance Edition I test drove ( as part of the PE package). It was incredible! And the car feels like so much more than simply an exhaust and coilovers. I would like to compare the MPE side by side to an M2 with a stock exhaust and a Fabspeed Catted Downpipe, which I've been told adds both power and sound! Either way, I look forward to annoying my electric car driving neighbors, who frowned and looked away every time I drove up in the M3. |

I love my MPE although I'm fighting the cold start vibration/rattle. It really is awesome.

I didn't. I flew to Long Beach, and looked at cars in Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, San Diego, etc. It was a fun weekend!
