Sounds Good and Loud! Measure 7x7, Cut once!

I would be concerned about removing the Catalytic Converter. This could cause problems with emissions testing. I believe the M Performance Exhaust is cut and weld, as the entire Catalytic converter, rearward, is one piece. But I'm sure I could be corrected on this? Measure 7x7, Cut once! |

Is this how the M2 comp sounds with the standard exhaust? Don't know what it is but it sounds a bit strange to me, almost 4 cylinder like...not the M3/4 type sound I was expecting. Not too keen on it going by this video. Hope it doesn't actually sound like this.

What company will be the first to develop a exhaust system for the M2c that's reasonably priced?

What you will see is a number of brands offering the slip-on based on the M3 and M4 exhaust set up for the M2C... It will be relatively easy for these brands to redesign it so that fits the M2C, but all these brands need a car first. I could easily see that happening relatively soon. MR |

@MR.
Do you have any info on whether MPE will be reapproved in the EU? What about other EU manufacturers, like Akra - will they no longer be able to get TUV certifications for their products? |

When you build out the M2C on the BMWUSA website, the rear is shown blacked out. Not sure by diffuser or just painted but certainly not a silver muffler exposed. Maybe just Marketing Dept cleaning it up online.

It's the marketing department. They also blacked out the exhaust can on press photos.

You could say "Yeah but what about the other European countries". I could easily see BMW just making it compliant for Germany and then sell it everywhere else in the EU not having to deal with the issues of having different versions on stock. One exhaust for everyone in the EU that is compliant. They did the same when they introduce that little red button in the trunk. Also only intended for the German market after complaints by the TUV I believe. Other manufacturers will only get TUV when their products are TUV. It counts for every single product that you could think of. From lowering springs to exhausts and from suspension kits to wheels! All need TUV approval and many need a renewed approval. You can easily see how much work that currently costs. The tuners are dealing with major issues selling TUV approved parts. For the development of new parts they need time, a lot more time than normal to make sure they are TUV approved since the TUV has got a certain amount of availability. The bigger brands go first and then the tuners, so then you know why it takes longer. I honestly believe that companies like Akrapovic, Eisenmann, Hamann, Capristo, etc will all develop a slip-on kit for the car that is sold in the EU market. It is by far the easiest to develop and sell dealing with the OPF and getting the product to market earlier. Of course, I do not have any confirmation of that yet, but it feels the most logical. Other than that they could develop a full exhaust for the other worldwide markets. If so then it allows European markets to sell a non-compliant full catback system to European owners with the remark that they need to do a tune on their car to deal with the OPF removal. Of course, it depends if a tune is required, but I wouldn't be amazed that it does. Personally, I would not easily see a manufacturer creating a new full catback exhaust including the OPF. That would be too expensive to develop and sell I think, also because the market is relatively small for this product. Time will tell what will happen. I will have updates for you guys in October, not earlier. You will see some things happening with my car that will help you answering this question, but I cannot comment on these now. MR |

Is the OPF something that just needs to be on it as it leaves the factory to pass some regulation, or is it something that needs to be installed to pass future emissions tests as the car gets older?

OPF is build into the Donwpipe and additionally replacing mid-catalysts.
Actually no reason to replace OPFs for a catback system... Remove mid-muffler and replace muffler and you should be good to go (If someone can manage to get TUV for that). |
