Best Exhaust Option
Hey all, hope you're having a great holiday season if you are celebrating. I was wondering if anyone could help direct me on which exhaust solution is the best for my needs? I drive a 2020 M240i coupe. Would like to be loud when I want, but quieter in the morning and night so valves are preferred. I'm considering running stock exhaust with a cat-less dp, a full valved catback exhaust like remus, or just dinan midpipe. Mainly looking for a louder WOT and pops and bangs instead of burbles. If any of you are running any of these setups, plus let me know the pros and cons. Thanks all!

Dinan Intake, CG Precision DS-1 downpipe, Dinan midpipe and Remus axleback. I wish I did full Remus exhaust but already had the Dinan midpipe. |

Synthetic burbles are kind of pointless if you ask me. There is a point where they get on your nerves and sound repetitive, especially once you get a sound you like from the exhaust. If you're only looking to only do an intake and midpipe your sound is limited. A high flow downpipe is not going to throw a cel. But your budget isn't going to give you that. I started with a midpipe and really enjoyed it, but based on your original post I can pretty much guarantee you will want more lol. |

REMUS sounds the best in my opinion. Its the mot balanced: deep and aggressive tone, no drone.

Thanks all for you responses! If i was going to pair up a downpipe with the midpipe, should I go for cattless or catted. Don't want a CEL. And don't wanna fork over the money for a full catback like Remus. Also don't want drone. Ideal setup would be a similar to stock comfort mode but a very aggressive Sport plus and WOT. Thanks again for the responses!

I have an ER catless DP and Remus axle back, along with stock midpipe (two OEM resonators). It sounds sick. I have the valve disabled, and honestly, it's still not that loud until I get on it in Sport +. Zero drone as well.

Would love to go catless but don't wanna worry about CEL without tune. I heard O2 spacers can be finicky.

M240i axle back alone is going to run you 1500$ ish. Remus, Dinan whatever. A midpipe is adding $600. Your DP if you want to avoid headache of cel avoidance requires a high flow DP which will be $1000-1200. If you went catless and did a BM3 tune your still paying $400 for DP and $600 for tune just to code out the error. Or go the spacer route which you've already ruled out. Or paying a labor fee every year you need to swap to pass the emissions test. Add in the intake and your $300-600 more on top of your budget. If just sound is all you care about. Forget the DP. Get the Dinan midpipe and a AP intake. Lots of swooshes and enhanced exhaust farts. It's a great starter setup. You'll be at around 800-900$. If your trying to get more custom, then stretch your budget or save up before dropping your cash stash. For a car as expensive as a m240i, it's well worth not trying to be frugal. Not saying don't be cost conscious just know your driving a car with a premium applied! BMW has a tax on everything lol. Way of the beast. If you want pure sound and not obnoxiousness you need to consider things that are going to give you this but it's not always going to be the cheaper route : Catless DP = $400 (more sound) vs Catted highFlow DP (no cel) = $1000-1200 Midpipe: Dinan =$600 or add a cat back and your $2000+. for Remus or Dinan Tune: $600+. The DP is doing nothing for you but sound without the tune. Also your car is not well equipped to manage the variables of the DP which some may argue will damage your car if you don't do a tune that accounts for the DP. Basically you need to decide which is more important: cost, sound, performance. Than build from there. Your original post seems to elude to you not being totally sure of what you want (not a bad thing, ''tis why you ask around!) If your budget is limiting you, don't do it u less you can properly scale. Save a little longer and get the right combo. It sucks going back to the drawing board haha! All that said this is my opinion: Option 1: sound AP intake + Dinan midpipe Option 2: sound Remus Catback Option 3: sound + power + no cel Remus Catback, CG-precision DS-1 downpipe, BM3 stage 1/2 tune. |

Also for what it's worth. if I can plug x-ph . com for parts, this is 100% a great go to. Nothing to gain from my end if you use them. So no harm no foul. But, I've got almost every mod from them and they've always done me right and beaten any price out there. Good luck with your upgrades!!!
