BMW E92 M3 Stock Exhaust with 2 Pipe Perforated Mod & Resonated Test Pipes

I couldn't see a review by anyone else so I thought what the hell

My exhaust guy said I'd hate this configuration because I wanted something quiet. Well he was wrong this config is perfect. I have the test pipes on with resonators in place of the cats and the stock axle back with the 2 pipe perforated mod and it rocks.

Exhaust sound when cruising is close to stock with a little bit more volume and rumble. No drone. Nothing to get excited about and thats fine by me as 95% of my driving is cruising from work to home etc and I don't want it mental all day long.

Exhaust note when up it is off the hook. Perfect amount of raw M3 goodness screaming its guts out with a touch of rasp to give it an exotic flavour.

I cannot say enough good things about this config. IMO it's a great combo for anyone wanting the extra power from the test pipes without the drone of aftermarket options.

The video is terrible and it cuts partway through. I'll try to do better when time permits

Are the resonated test pipes a custom job?

Which resonators did you use on the test pipes?
