Question, Does the mid pipe add more sound or deeper tone? I really like the sound of current exhaust in the morning or with wife in car in efficient mode. It sounds as if the switch path is guide but once you put it in sport+ it's loud like I want.

If you ever wanted to go back to stock you can get a sleeve style clamp and re-install your factory.
Any forum discounts?

I’m digging the look of the chrome tips on the black car. Anyone have pics of what chrome might look like on Brooklyn Grey?

Machines with Souls just posted a full write up on his Track Edition with sound clips if you're looking for a third party review.

WHAT’S THE BEST G80 M3 EXHAUST?

If you haven't heard our sound clips already we have a detailed video with all configurations in both modes right this way.

No discounts through us directly, but you can certainly check with our dealers as they run promotions from time to time.

Feel free to DM me if you need a recommendation of a dealer near you.

I got mine from X-PH with Mike, I would DM him. He has always provided some great prices for me.

Personally I think it adds more volume. My preferred combo after testing them all is SwitchPath™ with the mid pipes.

IMO the SwitchPath™ has all those lovely tones I enjoy and the addition of the mid pipes turns up the volume on them.

Just installed on mine, as Sara suggested.

It's loud, but not obnoxious by any means, and I'd be disappointed with anything less. If you like the valves, stick with the switch path. But if you're like me (valves always open anyway), you'll enjoy it.

My site has a write up on it.

How come you don't offer downpipes for these cars? Just out of curiosity because I see other companies like Fabspeed, Armytrix, iPE, etc. offering them. It seems like they make a huge difference on these cars.

From what I can derive watching their videos etc, they are pushing to stay emissions compliant.

Completely understand that as EPA regulations are getting more strict as time goes on. But places like Fabspeed guarantee no CEL with their cats and they are legal in all states except California. I just feel like the OEM cats on these cars are very restrictive and take away from some power/sound gains.

Legal except California, which has the strictest rules on emissions. Precisely why the OEM cats need to be as restrictive and meet a certain "level". I do agree its restrictive, but imagine BMW selling M3/4's everywhere BUT California, because of emissions (not a good look lol).

I agree with that but aftermarket companies can still cater to the other 49 states. At least for now California allows cat back systems thankfully! Wait until all the newer cars have monitored GPF's on them though. Things are going to get much worse unfortunately.

We are committed to offering seriously fantastic sounding systems without touching emissions equipment, so no downpipes now or in the future.

Emission compliance is on the federal level (EPA). High flow down pipes that remove cats are illegal to use on public roads under EPA law, and federal law applies to all 50 states.
