Ummmmm Active exhaust on the M2 here at Autocoutore sounds unreal. Selling my MPE to get one. Took one minute of hearing it to make that decision easy. One of the best exhausts I've heard on a car. Period.

Thanks big bro. Two amazing M2's being built by an amazing team over here at ACM. Best customer service. It's like a family over here.

Can't wait to see what these two sound like in about a month or so after they're really really broken in. Should really be a nice comparison done up. Wooooooot 🔥🔥🔥👊👊👊

There shouldn't be a problem, that is the route I am going to take. The Fabspeed sport cat is a direct OEM replacement and the piping between the downpipe to resonator is unchanged. Dinan's is a muffler replacement with optional resonator bypass.

toastie knows his stuff! He is correct. The Sport Cat is a direct OEM replacement! As long as the OEM midpipe is not being replaced OR if it is, the connection to the downpipe is equivalent to factory, then you should have no issues!

So a Dinan exhaust with res delete and fabspeed sport cat will all work like one big happy family ??

I'm doing that, but adding a catted downpipe. That should boost the sound a bit, but more importantly boost hp and torque.

If this were an S55 we were dealing with I'd do more. But I'm putting that sound money into go-fast money

I've been thinking the same BruceM. De-cat is not an option in the UK (well not if you want to remain the right side of the law) & most tracks I go to have max sound limits around 95dB.
