Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Mid to high RPM range there is not much difference from the Sport exhausts, switching out downpipes is what really give that growl at high rpms.

I'm looking into getting Remus or Dinan, but can't decide. Armytryx sounds amazing, but I don't like that the valves cannot be controlled through the car and you're stuck with a remote.
You are SO wrong.

The stock M Sport Exhaust sucks. It doesn't have any unique or loud sound to it.

The MPE is a WHOLE other animal. Higher RPM's is where is SCREAMS (contrary to what you said).

It's a beast exhaust and sounds incredible compared to the stock M Sport.

My concerns around the MPE is the lack of valve control. I believe the Akrapovic exhaust system has valve control, correct? How do those two compare? One thing I heard is that the Akra system is 100% titanium unlike MPE. Does it improve the acoustics?

The MPE is basically an Akrapovic

I don’t know, brother. On some other thread, another member told me this information and gave me that link and said it was all the same. But honestly I don’t know. I do know that I have yet to read a negative review on it here on this forum

Does anyone here know if the carbon fiber tips are adjustable to come out a little further? Seems like there is a small notch that locks them from being moved in or out. I’m looking at mine now at the shop trying to adjust them and it won’t go out further. Is that correct? Does the metal notch need to be shaved down to adjust? Want to make sure they’re all even before hand because when the shop put it up to get a glimpse of what it’ll look like they seem to be too far in under the diffuser compared to other peoples cars I’ve seen with them.

They should just pull off like the others. That notch is to keep then from going in too far. Honestly it’s really to keep them even lol

Is your notch incorporated into the bracket at all? I looked at my tips today and it feels like the back edge of the tip abuts the notch, but the notch isn’t incorporated into the bracket. I looked because I thought mine looked too far out. Based on the only BMW instructions I can find, it seems like it’s supposed to be incorporated into the bracket. However, the tips in the instructions show an angled carbon fiber component and mine are not angled, nor are others I’ve seen in pictures.

I must say, I am in love with my GT Haus Meisterschaft exhaust. I can ask for a forum discount for anyone interested. Extremely tame in comfort mode, but it is another animal with the valves open in sport+

MY GOD!! That sounds heavenly. Wow, it almost sounds like a big ol' turbo diesel just coasting. You've single handedly convinced me to go MPE. I was valvetronic vs MPE for a good while. After some research and coming across your video. That's been put to rest. I can only imagine what tunnel blast would sound like. My body is ready
