M4 M Performance Exhaust Loud (Catless)?!

parky1215 · 08-16-2014, 12:16 AM

I think this car has something more than just bmw performance axleback.
Maybe it has akra downpipe installed too.

Dawko · 08-16-2014, 12:20 AM

No wonder BMW didn't partner Akra for this MPE, sounds incredibly good

haynstyleM2 · 08-16-2014, 12:56 AM

WOW that sound is awesome....can't wait till it's available!

And seriously... anti-apple or not, you need an ipod. I can't believe you are still carrying around all those CDs.

BUT I love the feeling I get from them! And electronics with me have a shot life span, so I want them in a form I can indeed haul around!

Wah, stop shopping for car parts. We'll end up both broke at this rate.

Assuming the US would see the traditional reduction, I would guess US MSRP is around $4,500 +/-.

That sucks... have to follow a truck... an Audi truck at that...

Ka0tiK · 08-16-2014, 06:22 PM

Being that the M4 Safety Car has no cats, I wouldn't be surprised if this car's exhaust has a similar setup.

Totally agree, no way that car has cats. Don't think it you could get that loud with just section 3.

Denk · 08-17-2014, 02:17 PM

That sounds too loud and raspy to be catted. The MPE alone isn't going to be that extreme.

My Neighbors (which I am cool with) have already commented on the loud sound of the stock exhaust. I find that if I just put the car in Efficient/comfort mode for all settings and drivelogic to 1 (My M1 Setting) the car becomes a very quiet and comfortable cruiser. I am hopeful it will help with the MPE. This was very useful when getting home very late Saturday without waking the neighbors.

Or the wife, in my case.

M3_Dust · 08-18-2014, 02:16 PM

sounds exactly like my buddy's N54 335i with UUC exhaust

V1.47fan · 08-18-2014, 02:19 PM

It sounds like a Peterbilt truck.

Sean@PSI · 08-18-2014, 02:20 PM

Definitely sounds cat less with the turbo spools so prominent.

Zayken · 08-18-2014, 02:22 PM

The car has catless downpipes and i am 100% sure about that, having listened to this sound over 80.000 km on my previous Z4 35 with catless downpipes.

We also should not ignore the fact of a possible cold start.

Dont rush to judge the sound of the performance exaust.

m3less · 08-18-2014, 02:30 PM

Sounds good!

Adris · 08-18-2014, 02:35 PM

stock M4/M3 sounds boring, but I do like this one

TheBingoBalls · 08-18-2014, 02:40 PM

Cold start or not, that's an annoying type of loud and not something I would be happy/proud to unleash on the street. Akrapovic still tops it for me.

DreF80///M3 · 08-18-2014, 02:43 PM

Sounds terrible IMO. I hope this is catless and isn't what the F80 will sound like with dealer installed MPE. I like the stock exhaust and think it sounds much better.

MuNkY6913 · 08-18-2014, 02:52 PM

Hate the clap sounds exhausts like these have. Just doesn't sound good.
