The GT2 with a catless pipe is very loud, I don't think that the other setups would be louder but you will have the benefit of the exhaust valve to close to make it quieter.
2 of my friends have the IPE F1 and they are loud but again, I don't think yet are louder than the GT2

A hearing aid may be a much cheaper and better option for you

I had the Super GT by Meisterschaft with all my cats and i thought it was on the loud side. Loved the sound but catless it would probably be the loudest. The shop car at ACM has the super GT catless and i couldnt even imagine driving in that thing.

My e93 should be one of the rare one with no rattle at the beginning. Now it rattles all around.

I have an IPE and I cant imagine something being louder when the valves are open.

Although I would take the Kreissieg if I could do it all over.

I imagine it would be, Rimier motorsports has a youtube video showing the decibel level of the exhaust. If you can find one for the gt2 you can see which is higher.

Oh and yes its night and day with the valves open and closed. 2 very different sounds and nice so I can close the valves and not wake my neighbors when I get home late.

not really, almost no drone. I would say 30% louder than stock while closed.
I have heard the KSG before on M3, M5, and M6 and they were pure sex on V10s. Or I would say even better? iPE F1 is loud! I had to leave iPE's garage when that lambo was fired up with exhaust open. I almost become deaf.

check the southeast regional forum, threat "Carolina Meet". First 2 meets were just 3 of us but some really amazing mountain roads. This meet looks like 10+ cars including some E39 and E60 M5s. Would be sick to add your ride to the mix. I'm sure everyone there would love to here your IPE set-up. I'm thinking of switching mine up for a more exotic sound but want my next rear section to be my absolute last.

I know of 2 guys with the IPE F1 system and both sets had holes on the xpipe after only a few months of ownership. No one from IPE would even reply. So I would go with the Kreissieg.

If you want a loud, non raspy aggressive tone, contact Andrew at AR Design for one of his xpipes.... It sounds ridiculous (in a good way) and its a hell of alot cheaper then a valved exhaust. My exhaust tone is damn near identical to the IPE F1.

sorry about sound cut, mic couldn't handle the dbs lol





Cabin sound (pre blower)

If your already will to fork over over 6k just for a rear section then go Kreissieg. That system sounds incredible.
