Exhaust Help
I just purchased a new 2019 M5 and I absolutely love the car, EXCEPT the exhaust. My previous car was a 2018 C63s AMG and it sounded nice. I have listened to every youtube clip and read every thread on here about exhaust options. I am probably more confused than when I started. One of the issues in deciding is that a few companies like AWE and Dinan released their products later than Remus, Eisenmann etc.. Obviously the earlier release products have a ton of member support so that gets confusing as the new products could in theory sound as good but not a lot of member feedback.
What I am looking for is a nice increase in deep tone similar to my AMG. The other thing I liked about my AMG was that I could get a nice exhaust sound in the lower RPM's 2000-4000. I do not want to always be at WOT to make the car sound good. If I was to purchase today I would say I am leaning towards the AWE SwitchPath Catback. Anyone heard this in person compared to a Remus, Dinan etc.? Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks! |

Mellow
I am with you on a nice mellow tone similar to the Merc's. I initially thought, coming from the F10 platform, that I was going to have to do the cat back design to get a nice sound out of my car. I started the Evolution Racewerke's catted upper DP's for the sound and the power increase. The sound in Sport mode was transformed to a slightly throaty sound that is suitable for general driving modes. But, in Sport Plus, it comes alive and is very similar to the CP exhaust but better. I then delete the OEM X pipe resonator and went with a Magnaflow X pipe. For my tastes, the sound is perfect because it has the very distinct pops and burbles that I like in Sport Plus and you don't need a high rev to hear it in that mode.

iPE - perfect sound and reasonably priced. I have the catback and love it.

Every M car I owned I had Eisenmann or Akrapovic. There are many others that are good too like IPE/Remus etc.
It's personal preference but the best is to hear it in person for individual test....and I know this is almost impossible unless you know some members that are leaving close to you. I would to car back 1st and work the way to front. Ones you remove resonators it will start to drone a bit. Just a heads up

i'll likely do x-pipe and see how that goes since i already have 3.75" BMS tips installed so from outside it looks like aftermarket exhaust just doesnt sound like one.
I need to find some locals with aftermarket exhausts so i can hear them in person, sound clips online do no justice.. id be curious to hear Remus, significant savings over Akra.. |

Same deal as me. Exhaust is so subjective on what sounds good to each other. I wish I could hear a bunch of cars in person and I would know instantly what works for me. I would just like my car to sound better in that 1000-2500 range when I am cruising around town. Enough to let the person next to me know that the car means business without being obnoxious. I had that with my AMG...but I love my M5!

If you want party on demand, and refinement in the neighborhood, go with Remus (what I have and my favorite)
If you want party all the time, go Eisenmann Race

We did lower downpipes (mid pipe/secondary cat delete) on the comp exhaust. Sounds SWEEEEET
Perfect amount of sound for those who just want a little more pops and cabin sound. Doesn't quite break the bank and also gives a little bit more torque Here's a comp exhaust full catless Versus Keller Lower + Stock Exhaust (non comp) |

Hi, VT.
Going with the SwitchPath™ CBE would certainly deliver the smooth rumble that you're seeking lower in the rev range. We also offer performance mid pipes as standalone, bolt-on configurations as well if you'd like to take it "stage by stage," so to speak. PM me with any questions, I'm here |
