With that being said, a secondary cat delete makes the N54 sound better, lets hope the S55 will sound better with a cat delete. An aftermarket muffler just changes the volume of noise, it won't get rid of that boring and lazy sound.
I am not saying the exhaust sounds bad, but I don't think a person should have to "cat delete" after spending $80,000 for an M3. Also do remember the consequences of deleting cats when it comes to emissions and lease returns. You have to put them back, a lot of work. Who is going to do all of that?
