I do agree though it could be on the louder side but once cats are replaced with high flow units who knows how it could sound.


Does anyone else have dyno runs yet? I'm disapointed in seeing all the valleys in the torque curve, stock or modded. I loved the long flat torque curve of the e39 M5, and no big drop off at high RPMs either.

PS: No, I wouldn't spend $8K just for this exhaust.
