First time M3 owner!

Just got my first BMW, and first M3! I looked for months for the right options that I wanted - ZCP, 6 speed manual, CF roof, Jerez Black on Fox Red. Finally found it right in my area from a forum member

Only problem is that it's pretty damn loud with the test pipes and exhaust. I was able to get the stock cats and think about swapping those back in, I'll probably post more later, looking for technical thoughts on doing so.

Nice car and congrats. I wouldn't rush into swapping the cats back in. Drive it for a bit and I'm sure you'll get used to the sound.

Looking good!

That GT2 without cats will sound really loud and chaotic. Putting on the stock cats with your exhaust will quiet it down quite a bit and make the sound a lot cleaner. Do that before totally swapping the catback out.

Oh yeah, I'm keeping the GT2! Would just swap the cats back in to quiet it down a bit.
