I had the Mpe and was very disappointed in the sound. It sounded almost stock. AWE w midpipe sounds MUCH better. For me it was worth the extra price. Do it!
Hmmm interesting, need to think about it for sure!

Upload it to a Youtube or comparable account. I think video files are too big to upload to the forum as an attachment.

It's on YouTube now. Just look up " BMW M235 AWE Fabspeed". I don't know how to link it. Sorry guys, I'm not very computer savvy.

count me as another happy customer of this awesome exhaust!!

just had it installed late last week and am LOVING IT. It sounds sexy as hell! It's my DD and have had no problems with music or phone calls (as OP has stated). Video's are good but you really gotta hear it live, if anyone is debating around CA (bay area) feel free to hit me up.

I only feel bad about ONE thing, i wake up a little early (usually leave 630-7am) and on a cold start it is a tad louder for the first 30-60 seconds or so. Feel like I'm the neighborhood alarm clock, hope they don't hate me too much LOL

Did you code out active sound design? If not, how are you finding the cabin noise to be with the windows up? Also, did you do midpipes or just the exhaust?

I did the midpipes too, didn't code out the ASD. Cabin noise is perfectly fine, you can hear the difference for sure but it hasn't affected my phone calls or music.

I was just on the phone the entire commute yesterday so from the stop and go to the occassional semi-flooring it at the on-ramps or stop lights, I was able to carry on a conversation perfectly fine.
