2015 M235 x-drive NO DOWNPIPE with FABSPEED Muffler and Resonator Delete

After extensive research (I mean extensive) on what exhaust set up was cost effective, practical, and gave me the desired sound, I found Fabspeed. Valvetronic exhaust was what I originally had my heart set on; however, the price tag on these exhausts can be extremely high and as a college student, I need to be practical (as practical as car parts get) with my expenditures. After further research, I decided that the muffler bypass and resonator delete exhaust set up they offered would be the best bet and I quite frankly didn't expect the outcome...
First of all, it was absolutely gorgeous, an very aesthetically pleasing set up. The carbon fiber tips really give it that extra umph. Then, after installing, which was incredibly easy, I turned it on for the first time... wow. The tone of my car is incredibly deep and aggressive in comparison to the M Performance exhaust originally on my car. I have attached a video link so that you are able to hear it for yourself, remember I have not installed an aftermarket downpipe .

Sounds great. Any noticeable gain or loss in power with the exhaust setup? I'm thinking of the same thing, but I know some people think they feel a loss in low end torque.

Very nice sound ! I'm wondering what sort of percentage increase in sound volume a sports cat down pipe add to that ?

The rear exhaust section doesn't yield much power gains to begin with. The majority of the power is restricted in the downpipe.

Adding a Sport Cat to this setup would pump up the volume to this already awesome sounding setup !

Thank you so much!! I most definitely have not felt a loss in power or torque; however, I will be taking it back to the dragstrip as well as autocross as soon as the hurricane passes and will update with any noticeable differences.

Holy sheet. That wrap color is freaking nice! Im usually never too much a fan of wraps because people either do boring greyish/black/white OR just go crazy with some insane bright color but this is nice!
