How loud is the difference in the cabin between stock and the MF? It looks good. Did you keep the stock setup? If not, call them up and go get it incase you need to go back to stock when/if you sell it. It's like 1-2k new from BMW! Anyway, congrats! I am scared to put a MF on. In your opinion, does the sound compliment the look of the car? I was worried it would sound too eclipse/civic/subaru sounding. Sorry, I probably should just PM you! Your opinions plz!!!

Guess we will have to wait for the sound clip to see if it is to ricer or not. Personally I would think that the stock exhaust would be superior in construction then a magnaflow. You doing before and after dynos to see what your gaining or losing?
i think shes said before she doesnt care about losing power, she just wanted the looks and sound of an "exhaust" on her car

BTW, the sound clips are already provided in post #29.
Yes they are, but what do they really show? They do show an external sound clip if you're hanging out 4-5 feet from the exhaust. They do not show what the driver experiences in the cabin at different RPMs and diffent driving situations.
