M3 E92 Exhaust: Corsa vs. M Performance

crispy tofu · 04-27-2012, 02:49 PM

Hi everyone - i'm looking to either get the Corsa or the M Performance Exhaust. Are these systems about the same in terms of loudness and sound? I'll be going to hear the M Perf at local BMW dealer tomorrow, but have never heard the Corsa in peson.

IMHO, Corsa is much louder with a throatier sound.

Corsa is definitely louder.

Both sound really good, but are two of the uglier cans around!

That said, I'm leaning towards getting the Corsa myself.

I haven't heard either live but the Corsa sounds deeper on many videos. Stuff the cash in your pocket, paint the cans and call it a day.

Thanks everyone! one more question: one thing I can't stand is drone. how much drone does the Corsa have and how annoying is it?

Just about zero. Both exhausts are very quiet. Corsa is louder, but high pitched, so almost no additional bass, except on cold start.
