17 M2 with Armytrix catback video and review

So I have had this exhaust installed for about a month now and finally feel it's enough time to give a review. First I will say I am not tuned and there is no downpipe, actually can't even imagine how loud it could get with a downpipe, especially catless. I will give my thoughts on each setting and if you can live with it as a daily.

Comfort valves closed: It almost sounds more quiet than stock but does still sound nice and is amazing during cold starts, or very chill daily commutes.

Sport and Sport Plus valves closed: This starts to sound amazing, there's more pops on decel and it sounds great on throttle. It's not overly loud and crazy aggressive but enough to make people notice the car etc.

Sport Plus valves opened: It gets seriously deep and the pops are insane in this mode. Driving normally it may be a bit too much especially with some drone in certain RPM's on the highway or 40-50 mph's. But when you're driving hard it sounds so awesome that you want to just hammer the pedal the whole time, that is if you're not stuck in traffic or something similar. My daily commute is comfort and valves closed in the morning and the sport + valves opened on the way home as my commute is mostly backroads.

Any questions just ask.

No problem, here's a link. Also there is multiple tip options and I think I may switch after the winter for a new look next year.

It never ceases to amaze me at how expensive exhausts are for this car. I know they sound good, and give you control over the valves, but just wow.

I mean it's a BMW M car and well that's just the nature of the game, hell look at how much an Akrapovic costs.
