Finally got competition package mufflers installed and impressions -:) WITH PICTURES

First of all let me thank SPINNY02 for his world class service - towards other fellow forum members because it was very clear to me while getting these from him that he's not just doing it for the money but to help someone else here enjoy his M5 more and that is highly appreciated and commendable - Thank you Sir

Well got them today and both were installed and guess what in 30 minutes total!
120$ The Guys knows what he's doing really well down in SC and did so many other AMG cars work before for the largest MB dealership in Charlotte.

Now remember I have deleted resonators after Exhausted Meister

My prelim initial impressions:
1. Not louder by any means than my Stock None CP stock mufflers and I am thinking because of mine had 12k Miles on them while these are only 6k miles (May be!!)
2. A little more pops and burbles but for sure
3. Deeper tone (May be)
4. Much cooler black tips (Would have done for the tips only -

I know that some will ask which one of each of these mods had the best results
Well in order of better results
#1 No doubt Opening the valves with or without Exhaust Meister had the biggest difference especially cold start and idle but allover the RPM too
#2 Resonators Delete up on high revs
#3 Lastly the CP "Baffless" mufflers to the point that I am amazed that BMW makes a huge deal of it ! a hype indeed -

Am I happy I did it?
Yes

Would I do it again?
May be (Tips are sweet) and now I know that I didn't miss much not going for the CP which is probably overall as subtle of an upgrade (Again please don't compare 13 to LCI CP because LCI non CP is very different car too as I test drove both)

I believe that after 6k more miles will be noticeably louder than Non CP

Do I recommend doing it?
For a free upgrade (In my case was almost free as I sold mine too for similar price probably paid total 250$ difference including installing fees) but do I recommend it for EXHAUST SOUND IMPROVEMENT ?
Absolutely not - As a matter of fact you will be hard pressed to feel that much of a difference !! I wish I could rave about my new mods like some other members do regardless good or bad - but I believe I will be a more useful member this way - LOL
But remember black tips alone are worth it - on sakir orange sweeeeeet

Hoping to hear from another member who went through the same?
Any takers?

My 2 cents
Feel free to ask any questions you guys have -
