Anyway... has the M2C done anything to change the way it sounded in my F80? None to test drive close. I ask because of the comments above saying it sounds as good as the N55. If not its OG M2 for me.

I'm 99% sure there's an M2C at an Audi dealership in Atlanta, unless that thing sold. It's a Hockenheim Silver.

To me, this is very comparable to what BMW did with the E46 M3 to the Z4M. Same engine obviously, but the exhaust sounds pretty different. The latter one, just like the M2C, is less raspy to me than the F80. Clearly, you owned them so you have more seat time in an S55 than me, but I test drove an M2C and I'm in love with it. I had absolutely no problem with the sound. It's no S65 of course, and probably doesn't sound as good as an N55T, but definitely more than enough for me to consider calling the bank right now.

I also like the way these cars sound with the equal length midpipes too, so that's an option. This is just my personal opinion, but I wouldn't consider the M2 if it's not a Comp.
