1) Eisenmann Sport and Dinan will be your two mufflers of choice with test pipes. Will remain quiet and when you get the tuning for Check Engine Light delete and extra power, you can opt in to remove the cold start and the car will idle normally.* 2) 100% Buy some test pipes. $400 and you won't regret it. 3) Stay away from M Performance Exhaust as it sounds like chit with test pipes Good luck man, take your time and get what fits your needs. MY vote is test pipes and a quiet muffler (Dinan, Eis. Sport)

The cat delete will happen eventually, but not until I can get it AND a tune. Corsa sounds like the exhaust for me (because I'm not a dinan fan and I plan on TPs in the future).

I got AE performance mufflers put on my car and the day I left the shop I ordered test pipes. I did NOT get that aural experience I got from me e46 with cams and headers. I HATED how even with the mufflers the car stopped getting "louder" at 4k rpm and I just heard the intake. I wanted a screamer. Fast forward a couple weeks when I got the test pipes on. The first WOT pull and drive home was the most fun I had ever had in a car, and she was pulling much harder and sounding like a little devil. I to this day do not have a tune and have been to the dealer for oil changes etc etc…. Not mad. WIll get BPM tune when I have the thousand dollars ASAP good luck my dude, but test pipes are the only answer. Look into test pipes with oem exhaust for now. Instead of buying a muffler you could have test pipes and a tune for < $1,500

but if you reallly looking to get some good noise upstairs, you gotta delete the cats. If you turn off the cold start it would help tremendously. My car is pretty quiet idling when warm, but is a little obnoxious cold. Its the price you pay |

Look if you know you are going to go with TP's, I recommend doing that first. That way you'll get an idea if it's too much or not, and you can decide what muffler to go with next.
In my case, I went with ACM mod first, then TP and it ended up being unbearable. I think TP + Corsa will sound great if that's the way you want to go.

However, there are no sensors after the X pipe, you wont be doing any cat delete with an axel back, so no potential for voided warranty. I agree the sound is less but you also don't have to get out the jigsaw, just bolt on...so its easier too. Just sayin...I would start axel back then move up..

Removing the cats will give it a rougher sound, not as "tuned" and "smooth". A high-flow cat will have minimal change on the exhaust tone but outflow the stock by a good margin. Just something to consider.

The thing with the Corsa is while it's sounds superb, it kind of shuts up past ~5000RPM while the MPE makes the opposite, it screams more and more the higher you go in the RPM, it's more rewarding to rev the engine which I like a lot! Knowing what you want, IMO it's really the MPE you should get, I know it's more expensive, but at least it looks 10000x better, it has a good weight reduction and an exellent resale value, you should'nt be disapointed! |

I know you said you're planning to go with Corsa, but I am just going to +5 on the Dinan. It sounds so much better in person than in videos. It's also probably one of the least raspy exhausts. I first had it without TPs and then added TPs later. Without TPs it was very smooth. Especially accelerating at 50% throttle. It sounds like you're in an italian car. Less throttle sounds like stock and high rpms sounds a little louder than stock. But I think like everyone has said, the cats are limiting your high rpm sound. After removing the cats, the car screams at WOT and with blip-shifts on the DCT. Everyone who has ridden with me gets out of the car in a daze. It's really quite awesome. Good luck with whatever you choose though!

Eisenmann Sport = To stock
add test pipes or x-pipe later depending on your interest. Great set up, i personally had the race version but I've heard the sport and its pretty civil and reminded me of when i had my MPE. very quite. M Performance exhaust, Eisenmann Sport, Akarpovic, ESS, tubi, borla will all fit the bill I would hear them in person if i were you |
