Best exhaust for a slightly more aggressive tone

I'm coming from a 350z, where almost all exausts sounded very tuner-y regardless of the fact that it's a V6. So, is there a recommended exhaust for the M240i that gives more of tone of aggression (like the M2) but doesn't sound like a tuner?

Check out the deleted both resonators thread by Schnell B58.

I haven't done this mod yet but it might be what you are after and should only cost $200-$300. There are some vids in that thread that give you an good idea what the sound is like.

Exhaust sound is a very personal preference so I expect this thread could devolve quickly. :P

Let us know what you decide.

Ah, thanks for pointing that thread out - it looks like exactly what I want. The only thing I'd be concerned about is the difficultly of reversing the process if I decide not to keep my lease..

Yep, try resonator delete! My plan is to do the muffler delete/stock exhasust mode known from E9x M3's and 335i's. It should sound pretty deep and aggressive.

An exhaust shop can easily just weld the resonators back on. Probably looking at the same price to reverse the process.

Personally I am all in favor of laying out big cash when there are noticeable performance gains to be had from upgrading an exhaust system. Based on what people and manufacturers are saying about the M240i there isn't much to gain by swapping exhaust*. If that is the case all we are talking about is changing the sound. If that can be done by removing the resonators for a few hundred bucks. Hell yeah.

* I wouldn't doubt that it would increase performance with heavy mods like a bigger turbo though.

I ended up going the dinan mid pipe route for 500. Easy reverse to stock if needed. Can always sell in the future. Thought it was cleaner and bettter setup overall

Hi Mike, are the tail pipes on the Remus axle back long enough to clear the m performance diffuser? I've seen several photos and videos but all on stock diffusers

Per REMUS
shouldn't be an issue as our tips are adjustable and you can move them further towards the rear of the car in order to clear the diffuser
No fitment issues have been reported

How about adding a (catted) down-pipe to the otherwise stock exhaust .... would that give a nicer/deeper/aggressive tone too? Would think it would be similar to resonator delete but maybe it would be more docile during commute but wake up with full-throttle ...
