Fabspeed Downpipe + what exhaust?

I'm getting the Sport Cat downpipe from fabspeed, and need an exhaust for it.
I am thinking about the fabspeed muffler bypass.

Please let me know what you guys are running or what you think I should do.

Thanks fellas.

2018 of the M2 btw

Why don't you just code the stock exhaust to flaps always open? And maybe the Dinan midpipe?

I'd go with something that has valves. I have a Fabspeed Downpipe with the stock exhaust with dinan resonator delete. The valves on the stock doesnt make much difference in sound or volume.

Fabspeed Downpipe + M-Performance Exhaust has always been a good combo.

Remus exhaust also. No exhaust adds any performance benefit, so you're fine no mattter which you choose.

I'm really happy with my Fabspeed sports cat and muffler bypass.... although I'd still like a bit more volume ! Can't risk going catless though. Any suggestions anyone ?

Phil from Fabspeed here.
Great to hear you are picking up our sport cat. Will will really love the sound and performance upgrades. On to the exhaust that you are looking for: How do you use the vehicle will really make the decision on what exhaust you want to run.

Hey Phil,

Quick question about your catless downpipe.
Is there any reason it's a bit more expensive than the competition? I'd like to buy a Fabspeed catless but the Wagner catless is a bit cheaper and I figured, since it's just a straight pipe, there isn't any much noticeable difference

It's gonna be a daily driver, but I don't mind it being loud. I was looking at the muffler bypass.
