I have the MPE with FabSpeed SportCat and can tell you no video will properly convey the volume. The deep rumble and overall volume level have to be heard in person to truly be understood and appreciated. How can you judge how loud to turn up your speakers to accurately depict the same volume level? One thing is for sure: the cackle as you let off the gas pedal and the thunderous exhaust melody with this setup is both addictive and intoxicating!

We've installed plenty of Fabspeed downpipes with the high flow cat (200 cell) with nothing but praise for it. Sounds great too.

That's the only thing that I'm worried about as my wife and I use ours for weekend trips. Do you know roughly what speed that is? There's a slight drone now with the stock set up at certain rpms.

ASD has been bypassed. Normally on trips we're in comfort mode but I hear a bit of a drone when accelerating through the gears at certain RPM's. It's not horrible but you can tell certain RPMs are louder than others even with the same throttle opening.

You cannot go any smaller or larger or else downpipe will not fit. If you are asking about the size of the pipe, you have couple different designs. The largest in the center would be Wagner Tuning

Forgive my lack of knowledge, is a tune necessary with a catted dp? Also, will it bolt up to Dinan exhaust with resonator delete?

You posts are always very helpful Anyways, I remember reading that you said that all aftermarket downpipes have a shelf life and doesn't last 'forever..' I don't want to call out any particular brand but how long would you say on average they last for before I would have to spring for another one? |

All cats even stock ones will eventually fail, the cheaper the quality of the cat the sooner it fails. We never had any issues with Wagner or Fabspeed cats.

ITEM / SKU: 90812010 DESCRIPTION: BMW M135i / M235i / M2 / 335i / 435i HJS 300 Cell Euro 6 Sport Catalytic Converter 80mm Downpipe PRICE: $1,495.00 Fabspeed had their 10% summer sale going on at the time. The technician that installed it said it fit like a glove. I have had it installed since August 2018 and no issues have arisen. It provides just a bit more sound and drama over the stock downpipe. Note too that I have the M-Performance Exhaust. I have no regrets at all.

IMHO for the majority of us daily drivers (not the track dudes/dudettes or 20 somethings;-) the fabspeed sport cat with stock exhaust is perfect. Cold starts are very loud for a brief moment and then settles to a great clean but tough sound. Driving it sounds great but not like you are trying to be a wannabe racer or someone who is trying to draw a ton of attention. It's enough to turn heads with admiration of those who appreciate it but doesn't cause other to think "what a d bag". I just had the sport cat installed and was debating whether to do an aftermarket exhaust but there is no way I'm adding more sound now that I have it. Anything more would have too much drone and be way to loud for a neighborhood daily driver car.
Again, just my opinion but I think for the majority of regular drivers, the fabspeed sport cat with stock exhaust is as far as I would go on sound plus you get the nice power boost and no cel. |

I really don’t want more exhaust volume for road trips, and no additional smell. I also want the downpipe to last for years and all my trips to the track running at WOT. It seems like the 300 cell would be better in my case, while still giving some additional power. I was also probably going to run SeanWRT BM3 Dinan FBO map, and he’s using the 300 cell HJS. |

As for power, i have not seen any dyno showing 300 CEL adding power over stock with everything else identical
