Any advice?
One thing to keep in mind.....do you really want to attract that kind of attention in your high performance automobile?

I like the idea of a nice growl, but loud is just begging for trouble from the police. Best exhaust IMO is one that can be nicely heard by the driver in the cabin but does not say "Hey everybody...look at me driving fast in my expensive car!!"

Go with M performance. Best balance of all factors considered
