Have followed you for a while and one of the things I have noticed is that you seem to keep cars that sound really good much longer than merely fast cars.

I mention this because I have found that speed is everywhere now and as a result not that special. In 1989 the 911 Turbo was the quickest car available in the US with a 5.5 second 0-60 time, now a Toyota Camry does it in 5.3 seconds. Multiple 3 second cars are available for less than $75K list price currently as well. Sound has become much more of a differentiator in the age of Tesla and turbo motors in general. Some companies are doing this very well. Ferrari comes to mind with their new cars and some do it very poorly like the Ford Raptor. Personally I love the exhaust note of the M5 with a decent system installed and it keeps me interested in the car.

Indeed!! The key ones are the normally aspirated big boys. Sound is so important to me and thats mainly why I swapped out the exhaust on the First Edition (which comes with the CE set up). I wanted more to mate up with the speed of the car. The C63 Black Series has an incredible note with its big block M156 engine roar. And the V10 of the Audi (with modded exhaust) is probably my fave. But ironically the AMG GTS has a tremendous growl for a 4.0 litre turbo engine.

I remember you from the good old w204 days. Man you switch cars like I switch shoes lol.

I think the FI Carrera motors also are among the best for turbo engine and exhaust noise. They seem to have lost very little vs others like Ferrari which IMO those turbo V8s don’t do it for me. The AMG 4.0 also sounds great as I have had 2 AMG GLC63S edition1s and a 19 C63S coupe. I still prefer my 991.2S and 991.2T though.
My M5 competition sounds good, but lacks in volume and emotional sound compared to the 911s. I def need an exhaust for it.

MB has done a fantastic job tuning engine sound with the new motors.

Concur about the FI Carrera stuff- I had a C4S 991.1 and 991.1 GT3 (now that was a LeMans shrieker). But even my 991.2 with the Soul Performance Hi flows belts out a rather brilliant tone that I enjoy. My two 991.1 Turbo S's needed help

I had a chance to drive the AMG GT63S recently and that car sounded amazing. I was worried about the 4.0 losing its rumble vs the likes of the M157 engine (I had a 2012 CLS63TT and an SL63TT in that variant) but low and behold they held it together. The M177/178's are good stuff. I did enjoy the E63S W213 even though it wasnt as rude as my GTS is. I guess the length of the exhaust changed things.

You can go an easy route with the F90- pull the resonators and try that for cheap. Plus its an easy fix. I run Remus and it works great.

Also did the soul sports cats combined with the PSE. Nothing but compliments and turning heads. Then again, the S in Miami blue and the T wrapped in matte black with yellow accents also were pretty catching. It’s not quite as wild as my 991.1S but it’s damn close.

Remus is my top choice. Though...the new 992 and GT4 are pretty tempting as well.

Dinan HAS, HRE 20" in satin bronze, lava orange calipers and side vent, Dinan suspension link kit for rear, door handles gloss black paint, roof gloss black paint, diffuser surround black paint, windows lumar ctx35. Driving our M5s in these troubled times is the perfect method for separation, no particular destination, just enjoying the drive.......
