Which exhaust the best
Ok now we have quite a few choice of exhaust (mpe, Remus, akaprovic etc). I am thinking of upgrading the stock exhaust. For me I want my m2 to be as loud as possible (but not catless). Which one should I choose?

Has any body heard both stock and MPE, what is the difference in the metal?
I really like the tone of stock, but do crave a little more noise and clearer pops

I would go for the MPE just because it is an OEM part and it does sound really good!

I'm about to flaunt my ignorance of exhaust systems (and cars in general.) If you have the MPE but don't want it to be particularly loud at a given time, is there a mode for that?

That's something I would like to know too. Up to now I didn't have the opportunity to hear the MPE irl, neither heard how it sounds inside the car. My preoccupation is if cruising on the motorways the sound might become irritating, unpleasant ...

My dealer is "forcing" me to get MPE. I guess it is their way of marking it up while still being able to say they are selling it at sticker.

For the MPE, the default mode is Sport Mode. When you put the car in Sport/Sport+, the MPE does get louder. Also, when you put the MPE in TRACK mode, it gets even louder. Hope it helps!

But why MPE
So from the reviews, the stock M2 exhaust sounds really good. The MPE adds bunch of cost (those tips are $$$) and so my question is, does it really sound that much better?
and to clarify, it adds zero hp/torque right?

The MPE in comfort mode is very similar to M3/M4 with MPE. It probably could set alarms ON, but I have not experienced it yet. The MPE in Comfort mode is definately louder than stock in Comfort mode.

But to answer the question, I am sure all exhausts are good. It is just a question of taste/style/finish/sound.
Moreover, most of us will not see the 8hp power increase "claims" on a 370hp car anyways... It is just marketing selling point
