Catless DP vs. Dinan or MPE Exhaust Only
I've owned M2's with both Dinan and MPE. I'm considering an M2 with DP + Bootmod. Power aside, I'm curious about sound of Catless DP with stock resonator and exhaust.
I didn't care for MPE. I LOVED the Dinan w Resonator. So I planned to go with Dinan setup post purchase this go around. I will have the stock DP to put back on the car with the Dinan. But sure would be nice if I loved the DP + stock exhaust so I didn't have to mess with buying and installing a Dinan!

Why would you want to put up with the gas smell from a catless downpipe? Besides it is illegal to install one.

I think that a 200-300 cell downpipe + stock exhaust sounds really good and good enough

I have Akro downpipes and I reckon the car is loud enough with stock exhaust

Catless tends to be rather raspy and paired with any aftermarket exhaust will be really loud. Catted DP with stock exhaust will probably surprise you to the point you don't feel any need for an aftermarket exhaust.

Does the resonator help with the drone?

I have catless downpipes and stock exhaust. Definitely recommend going this route before doing any other exhaust modifications because you may find that stock exhaust with catless downpipes is enough for you

I run a stock exhaust with a 300 cell Akra catted DP, and my car sounds absolutely glorious I’m sure the catless DP takes it to another level

You didn’t say what you didn’t like about the mpe, if it was the tone, i think you may prefer the sound of a sport cat over catless. If you are tuned, you can get a sport car that doesn’t cost too much more than a cat less one. Personally, I have a Fabspeed sport cat, res delete and stock exhaust…pretty awesome sounding no doubt. Bought the car with the res delete already, I would have left it on.
