I promise I looked for a thread on this but nothing came up.

Any thoughts? I've narrowed down my exhaust choices to these two. I want to figure out my choice before my car gets the port so I can save on installation if I choose the MPE.

What kind of sound are you going for and how loud do you want the exhaust? Do you plan on a downpipe?

What're your goals for the car as well? Do you just want it to sound great or do you want more power out of it also? Do you plan on more modifications down the road? A downpipe is going to be your biggest friend in this situation.

Check your PMs! I'd love to chat more with you and make sure you are properly guided in the right direction.

I like the sound of the sound of both so it's difficult for me to single out exactly what it is I like. But I can say I don't like the sound of akrapovic (no offense to anyone who does). I think I need to hear them in person to get a sense of how loud I want to go but I definitely don't want to get a ticket here in California.
As far as the down pipe goes I'm interested in possibly getting a catted one but again because I'm in the strictest emission state in the world I'm afraid of voiding a warranty or getting into trouble. I've never done any mods so this is all new territory for me.

I would recommend against a downpipe because:
- warranty issues ( people will say it's all cool, but it really comes down to your SA and there is no guarantee that you would get the same SA through the lifetime of your car)
- piss gas: all the claims made by different downpipe manufacturers are on 93 or higher. It would go down to a single digit power gain on 91 piss in California. I don't want warranty issues for a single digit power gain. If you want more power, then go with Dinan S2.

Like the look of the MPE exhaust better, the Dinan just doesn't do it for me in the looks dept. My PE came with MPE so I am biased.

How does the MPE sound with dinan resonater delete?

You aren't going to notice much different of a sound with a resonator delete. The resonator is extremely small on the M2 so the impact on sound in extremely minimal.
