New owner, M5 sounds rubbish :(

[700_weapon]

Hi

Recently bought an M5 and i'm very happy with her, it does everything i want (perfect daily).
What i'm a bit unhappy about though is the sound, currently have a Remus back box (rest is stock) and it just doesn't sound all that great...
Is there any way i can get this to sound better/louder when in m mode? I'm due for a stage 1 tune in a few weeks so can get any exhaust work done at the same time.

Thanks

Yeah i know Paul, he did my old E46 M3. Il give him a call later!
Tune wise i think MSL, they tuned my C63 and it's been spot on, can't fault them. Who do you recommend mate?

Downpipes, full exhaust, stage 1 tune that has reliable burble mod and enjooooy 🎻🎻🎻

I have ESS tune and the burble is very minor only on downshifts which makes you wanting more. I recommend a tune that has burble when you're at a high rpm and let off the gas. The tune however is pretty good.

If burble isn't your thing just get a normal tune.

I prefer more pops and bangs but the burble will be better then nothing i suppose, my old M4 with an MPE had loud burbles without a tune or anything!
Regarding downpipes, i thought decat downpipes means stage 2 tune? Been quoted £1500 for the decat downpipes and stage 2 so might go for this then.

Oh and does anyone know what this is? I found it in the boot a few days ago and no idea what it's used for.

overly excessive pops and bangs dont suit the V8.

better the get that deep rumble.

My car has stage 1 tune with decat downpipes and akrapovic full exhaust and is making 655whp on dynojet. 93 octane.

Go stage 1 it's safe and makes a lot of power. My exhaust is pretty expensive but if you can afford it you won't regret. It literally sounds like a formula one car inside of a garage. If you can't, remove the resonators and you'll get additional sound as well.

Catless downpipes if you got no emission test where you live

Resonator delete if you have to keep the cats

im all stock except a soul catback muffler delete and mine burbles and barks. i can only imagine what its like tuned with burble as a specific parameter.

I may run a bpm stage 1 as its a true obdII flash that is modifiable and removable/switchable back to oem.

i personally enjoy the stock power. i have sport4s michelins and it still is just a handful but i know if i had lesser tires it would have already been wrecked

is there a code or any sensor near or on that resonator? i can just chop it off and add a new pipe?

Nope, nothing. Just cut it off and put 3 inch pipes

Iv spoken to a number of tuners who all say it's not possible to get pops and bangs without going the decat downpipes route.
Is this true or are they trying to just make me spend more money?

It's all in the tune. I had OEM downpipes with burble tune and I could hear them. Not as loud as I wanted tho..

Decided to go Stage 2 with decat downpipes, hopefully this wakes the car up a bit. Feels a bit...boring at the moment. My old M4 felt much better to drive, maybe i should have gone for an F80 M3 but hoping i'm wrong and a stage 2 will make some noise

Stage two will definitely open up the exhaust on the car
