Hey guys,

I am relatively new to the forum. It is a good place to be for sure. I just wanted to share my amazing experience at FABSPEED MOTORSPORT, their amazing service, and my overall impressions of the sounds of my m235i (catless and muffler delete)

If you are on Facebook, or on Instagram, (@__joeparker__) you have probably stumbled across my car once or twice. I have a 6 speed 2015 m235i. Current mods are tint, carbon parts inside and out, m performance parts, bms intake, m performance exhaust, JB4, wrap, etc. I was going to leave my car as is, but after thinking long and hard I decided to bite the bullet and do more modifications.

I was curious about downpipe suggestions and Bobby from FABSPEED reached out to me immediately to give me some help online. I ended up getting a catless downpipe and ordering the FABSPEED Muffler Bypass system from Bobby. He was quick with his answers and was nothing but helpful the entire process. Good dude to do business with 100 %. He also invited me to have a tour of the shop and spend a day at the FABSPEED facility while they were installing the part.

When I arrived at the facility I was blown away. I felt like I walked into a movie. Every model Porsche you can imagine, McLarens on lifts….I never seen so many exotics. (besides auto shows) I was in heaven. I was greeted at the counter They offered me coffee, water, and the remote control to their huge flatscreen tv =] . I swear this was the cleanest shop I have ever seen. You could eat off the ground in that place.

Bobby came up to the front desk and walked me around their shop. They have a ton of brand new cutting edge fabrication tools and technology, an AWD dyno, in-house tuner. You name it, they have it. BLOWN AWAY. And on top of all that, the employees were all super nice, and just as geeky about cars as I am. I felt right at home. Bobby and myself went to lunch in his m235i (6 speed also, FABSPEED Muffler Bypass and FABSPEED Sport Cat Downpipe) and it sounded amazing!!! MEAN MEAN MEAN. After returning from lunch my car was done and it was time to hear the first start up. I was running an Armytrix catless downpipe, the m performance exhaust, and my JB4 on map 2 prior to entering FABSPEED. The car sounds amazing already, but wow I was in for a surprise.

Bobby started my car and I stood outside and it roared to life. I was aiming to have a sound that would turn heads and that is exactly what I got. I am used to loud and I know for a fact most people like to keep things conservative, but coming from a guy with a baby blue car, conservative isn't necessarily a priority. Different strokes for different folks. The revs were LOUD in a rich exotic tone with borderline breath taking backfires. When you drive down the street and it blurps every upshift and every downshift sounds like rapid gunfire. Perfection IMO. I have received nothing but compliments on the sound. I have never driven a car and enjoyed it this much. The sound is intoxicating. At 3200 RPM it SCREAMS. Pretty much sounds like a full on race car. It is a nice feeling to just drive slow and listen a rich and exotic exhaust note. Also, the backfire/gunshots keeps tailgaters away in fear that their front fascia will pretty much catch on fire. lol JKJK

After the start up, I followed Bobby to an empty lot to do some filming of the exhaust setup. Bobby and myself share the same exhaust setup except my car is catless. After doing some some revs, slow rolling shots, and flybys, we headed back to FABSPEED to take photos. Mike, the FABSPEED Marketing Director, was awesome and took some phenomenal photos/footage of our cars. All in all it was a great experience and I cannot wait to go back. HUGE thank you to Bobby at FABSPEED.

P.S. The quality of the exhaust is mind bending. The welds and overall finish is pure art. I will be posting pictures and FABSPEED will be developing videos shortly of the exhaust setup.

For FABSPEED parts reach out directly to Bobby!! You WILL NOT be disappointed. Great quality, amazing service, great people. Thanks for your time.

Car looks amazing with that wrap…! Sounds like a stellar shop. Hopefully you can post some more pics/vids soon

Thank you so much for the write up Joe, it was a pleasure having you stop in! We are in the process of putting together some video coverage of your visit and your new exhaust setup!

The door is always open for everyone to stop by. I would be glad to show you around our facility and how things operate here!

Can't wait to hear it

My Fabspeed muffler delete and cat will just be sitting around for the next few months. Threads like these make it easier to wait.

Did you get a retune after putting everything on?

Nice thanks for the review, post a sound clip

Video is here! Let me know if you have any questions!

I had just posted on a thread with a pic of a 2er covered in painters tape that it made me want to see the car in laguna seca blue. And here it is? Or pretty close at least, kind of looks more grabber blue. What color is that? Can we get more pics?

I've attached two more pics from his day at our facility!

Good looking cars! For the catless set up, I take it you were in Sport mode, if you put it in comfort mode, does it still back fire (gunshot sounds)?

When in comfort mode it does still backfire, but not as loud (gunshots) in sport mode. Its more mellow. Running catless downpipes and muffler delete is anything, but mellow. Sounds awesome!!

Correct this was ran in Sport Mode. When in Comfort, the car does not backfire nearly as much as Sport. Still maintains the aggressive sound but makes the popcorn more subtle.

You hit the nail on the head!

The blue car has a Catbypass Pipe and my car (the white one) has our Sport Cat Downpipe.
