Tim, you should post an audio clip of your M6 Redneck Edition. Some southern guys will love it...memories of bonfire parties drinking Budweiser then firing up the old beater with a 5.0 and Cherry bombs and doing donuts in the dirt.

Don't know if it's helpful or not, but I've had BMW service set my Eisenmann Sport-Race valves to 'always open' state. Main reason was the constant clicking / drone sound due to exhaust's vibration at low RPMs which was caused by valves vibrating against the pipes, and since they opened it he sound is deeper and more pronounced.

Just to give you an idea of how small the remotes are. I had to dash mount mine as I'm sure I'd lose it.

Did you need to buy two of these exhaust meisters for left and right or was one enough?

Just one. That single valve controls both sides

kev,

can you post video? also, is there a way for this to default on or do you always activate when you start up the car?

funny how every time one starts the car now, it's AC off, confirm on the idrive, push media for ipod, right stick to random, m2 2x to confirm, and now exhaust meister activation? i used to get so annoyed at people when i want to take their parking spot because they just sit there, but i think the m5 has made me one of those people.

Unfortunately, you have to activate it at startup.

in X5M, the flaps are always open when in M mode (even when gear is not in sports) so im debating if I should get this or not as I switch to M mode within 5 minutes of driving

I don't think this is true on the M5 at least not in the USA.

Can you send a small video of the sound when you have a chance. I'd like to hear the difference.

One more thought, can you program that remote to work off of your garage door openers that are in the car? that would eliminate the need for the remote to be velcro'ed to the dash.... please try and let me know if that works.

Best solution for me turned out to be a modified OEM exhaust I got from Noelle in Germany that has a wider inner pipe that is more of a straight pipe. Coupled with the DP it is about 50% louder than stock, ZERO drone and NOT obnoxious. VERY nice, throaty, "tuned" sound. It is PERFECT for guys like me who don't want to be that "loud" guy at the light and just like to let out a nice tuned note while driving and to be heard well when WOT (even then not obnoxious. Just a perfect finely tuned powerful M5 sound. It is one people hear and say "wow, that sounds REALLY nice-not "whoa..that's loud!" I think it sounds like what the M6/5 should sound like from the factory.Probably what we all expected.) These who like the E-Race, etc. will NOT like it. Those wanting more "classy mean" and not want to shake the house when you start it will find it to be sweet music to their ears ) Only bad thing is that I may need to sell it in 60 days when the M6 arrives as I don't think it fits the M6! I will get another set though!

Do you have a vid or sound clip? I would like to hear this setup. Thanks.

This would be awesome and very easy to try... I did that with a meisterschaft exhaust I had on my 550. The 3 buttons on the mirror. 1 was for the garage, another to open the valves and the other to close. It was great. All you do is take the remote hold it close to the mirror press and hold down the open or close button on the remote at the same time holding one of the mirror preset buttons down(up to you which one you want to set) and bam. You dont need the remotes anymore.

I ordered one of these today. I will let you know how it goes once I get it. I figured for $119 shipped it is a tank and a half of gas if it wasn't worth it. a far cry from $3K in a new exhaust.

Subtle change that sounds amazing. Have someone drive by while you're outside.

M mode deffo opens my flaps. If I drive through the town slowly and hit M1 I can hear the drone especially going down a hill with no throttle on. Are the US cars different?

Can you look this up in your owner's manual? It should say whether this is the case - and if so, it's definitely something that should be able to be coded in US cars.
