Smile Who said that the F10 M5 exhaust note can't compete with the E60 V10?!

So some friends and I went to Vegas last weekend. We decided to mess around in the parking garage in the Palazzo Hotel.

From left to right:

Black E60 M5: Corsa Section 3 Mufflers with custom xpipe

Gray E60 M5: Dinan Section 3 Mufflers with Dinan Section 2 midpipes

Black F10 M5: RPi GTM Full Exhaust System (Straightpiped)

Sepang E60 M5: Full RPi Stage 2 with RPi GT Exhaust and RPi GT headers (Straightpiped)

You can really hear the cracks of the straightpiped GTM exhaust on my F10 reverberate off of the wall behind it. All my friends said that the cracks hurt their ears and the sound felt like it goes right through your body.

Sorry to say this but nothing compares to a V10 sound. You can tell from a distance that its a V10. F1 comes to mind. All my opinion.

V10 wins IMHO. But no doubt your car sounds badass too.

I prefer the f10 sound to be honest. The others sound like tin cans.

I just put this exhaust on my Audi R8 V10:




I think GMG got this car to sound like an F1 car. I love it.

its fantastic... the tranny is behind the times but there are ways to get around it (its basically an SMG III) with software and harder driving; no different than with the E60 and E63. But the handling, raw down shifts, and voice of god sounds from the V10 with modded exhaust are incredible. Its looks amazing too.

Pretty badass! LOL at the "now everybody", then the look on the last E60's wife..

No matter what you do to the F10 M5, it will NEVER sound remotely close to the S85V10 or the S65V8...that's just the way it is, you can make as loud as you like, the sound is just not there...

but the F10 M5 is the best M5 to date by far, and probably the best overall car in the world today...I enjoyed the car as much as any I have ever driven, but if I want real sound I jump into the E92 M3....

NA V10 is a thorough bread. Listen to Carrera GT and Gallardo...S85 is just a natural musical instrument. I thank the Lord i'm able to enjoy the little brother S65 on a daily basis. Test pipes and a megan racing rear has my car sounding like a 200k exotic on the streets

Ditto. No matter what type of lipstick, same results.

The F10 can sound pretty good, we found out removing the cats really brings out the true tone of the engine. Here's our full catless setup with resonated catless front pipes for drone control.
