Maximizing induction & exhaust sound without tuning

Hey guys, I'm looking at options to increase both the induction and exhaust sound on my M5C. I'd love to hear from those that have experimented a bit and have suggestions on which option(s) best suits my requirements noted below.
  • No tuning required, priority to maintain my extended warranty
  • No drone, I commute on the highway and drive around the 70-90mph mark (where drone can be especially annoying). I really enjoy turning off the exhaust button when I want to relax and enjoy music
  • Would like the loudest induction noise, but conscious of value (e.g., if BMC filters & charcoal deletes get me 95% of the way or if a replacement air intake is worthwhile)
  • Not a fan of raspy exhausts
  • Really enjoy the OEM exhaust tone, but just want more of it

I'm currently thinking of the following setup, but very open to alternatives!
  • Dinan Resonator Delete
  • Dinan Exhaust
  • Secondaries (undecided on brand)
  • BMC air filters, charcoal delete

You're not gonna get the induction noise from bmc filters alone. Some sort of I take will be required but plenty of "cheap" options that aren't made of cf. bmc with the Dinan intake tubes may help.

Exhaust and x pipe good option but be prepeares to wait. I'm going on a year. A simple resonator delete and secondaries will add a good note all by themselves.

If you're doing an exhaust and just want a better note then secondaries is a bit overkill for the cost imo.

I found the sound uplift from fitting BMC drop ins and removing the intake foam (UK spec car) really quite surprising. With the windows down you can hear the turbo spool and recirculate quite clearly.

MPE is amazing. Plenty loud. No droning.

Just installed the Dinan intake and turbo inlets, and while it didn't have a crazy dramatic effect for me, I can definitely hear the turbo's spooling more. I think its a combination of the CS already had this sound for me and the MPE drowns out some of the noise since it's fairly loud.

I would recommend all three of these mods, they'll probably get you what you're looking for.

Lots of induction noise!

Using FRONT mount intakes like Project Gamma's intakes. I have them on my 2018 F90 and LOVE THEM so much. SOOOO much whoooosh sounds from turbos on accelerations and shifts. Its MUSIC to my ears. THE BEST and easiest way to hear your turbos!

dinan intake or turbo filters are the nexyt play...
