I installed my full(Sec 1,2,3) RPi GT exhaust last week. I didn't think it could get much better since I picked up my M just a few weeks ago, but this setup makes my driving experience ridiculous. THE SOUND...oh the sound...it's like an exhaust symphony! I've found myself just driving around in 2nd,3rd, and 4th just to hear it. Tunnels and underpasses are hilarious. My favorite is downshifting.

I also installed the RPi pulley kit and ram air kit with block off plates. The M was a beast before, but now...you can really feel a difference.

I've received a ton of complements whenever I'm driving (I've also had plenty of dirty looks ) I had the cans powder coated matte black. Here are some pics...I know, no videos yet. I planned on making some this weekend as long as the weather cooperates.

Congrats Mark! Video does no justice on the sound.
The sound is exotic and intoxicated!
Glad you're happy with the setup.

D - You need to come to NYC for some serious tunnel action. We have many and they never end!

I know i know, the tunnels we have in LA are 'cute' but nowhere near the tunnels in NY.
I was just in Seoul and they've got some crazy tunnels there too... 4km (2.5 miles)!!!! All i could think about was downshifting to 2nd, with dsc off, p600, and flooring it. dayam Calton, the next time I visit i'll hit you up.
