Closer look at an EU Spec M2C exhaust system

I was able to take some photos at the Lightweight Heaquarters in Germany during the first analysis of the European spec M2 Competition exhaust system.

The intention was making a comparison to the standard S55 M3/M4 Midpipe and get more knowledge about the new OPF/GPF (gasoline particle filters) in order to build a new performance exhaust system for the European market.

By the way: the project car was one of the very first delivered in Germany.
Hockenheim Silver is definitely not white

And here the comparison to the "normal" S55 secondary cats / mid pipe:

The silencer of the M2C is obviously really really big...

Indeed, it was a very interesting day with nice people and beautiful cars.
Lightweight has now an idea, how to develop their new M2C exhaust system.

I will close with a comparison between Hockenheimsilver and Lime Rock Grey
