Threw it in last night. Still evaluating it. Let me know what you think.

Why 4 resonators? I'd keep the front straight pipe and leave just the rear 2

Zero Drone.

I'm still debating comparing this to a MS Catless Pipes.

I have a Corsa with the MS xpipe, nearly zero drone, and I am very sensitive to drone, and the sound is amazing

Do you guys think it drone if it was completely catless with no resonators or would it make it sound more exotic like the IPE system?

Yes it will drone. IMHO, have at least 1 set of resonators so that it doesn't drone and is overly raspy.

Sounds really good OP

I'm still going to jump on a Dinan mid section if I can find a good deal on it. I have no data on who made this mid section etc etc.

I'd also like to try a Macht Schnell or Challenge mid section as well.

Not because I'm dissatisfied with the present state, but I'm just curious as to how differently they will sound.

You couldn't pry this exhaust from my cold dead hands. I drove to Portland and back to Seattle in the same night for it, lol.

my last exhaust was linked up to the Macht Schnell X-pipe and I had an insane amount of drone so I bought a pair of Vibrant resonators with 2.5" diameter and 12 inches long to have welded into the x-pipe, than I decided to go with the Corsa and problem solved!

With that said, if anyone wants to mess around with there x-pipe and try more resonators, I have mine, they are brand new, never used. PM me if you are interested in buying.

I just swapped in a mastermind catless xpipe with resonators paired with my MPE, the sound can be loud and raspy but not loud enough for my taste. The power gain is noticeable going no cats, I often times find myself running out of road before I can hit the higher RPMs. The M3 is a high reving machine and now without the cats, there is loss of mid/low range tq so most of the power gain is up top but as mentioned it's are to hit or stay in that powerband on the streets. Must a blast at the track, especially AAA speedway.

+1 it's the same setup I have, though I personally want to get an xpipe for the power gain but want to do it in a way where I don't fail on the annual emissions.

In Virginia you can have one readiness fail, and some catless tunes only fail O2 sensor readiness (cat readiness remains).
