F80 M3 AWE Track exhaust with Magnaflow race mufflers

[pitkin_g]

Hi All,

First of all, I have purchased my AWE Track exhaust ~4 months ago - great quality, great service, overall very satisfied! Chose a track version because I could not justify $4500+ for a switchpath option. This is just my opinion, to each their own. My intent was to add 2 Magnaflow Race straight through 3" 14" long mufflers which I did. If anyone is looking for a similar setup this post is for you.

AWE track opinion:
Pros - I loved it 80% of the time ("off road use only of course" Sometimes that pure over the top sound is awesome. It is definitely loud, marginally doable on everyday basis.
Cons - 65-75mph cruise drone (expected). Cold start - ouch, loud (expected). More than "less burbles" is too crazy for me.

Car:
2015 F80 M3
BPM Stage 1 Tune --> less burbles
Stock cats
AWE Track (resonated) with 2 Magnaflow race 14" straight through mufflers.

Final impressions:
I am very happy with the result.
Cold start and idle - improved by ~30%.
65-75mph - improved by ~30%.
Exhaust tone is way deeper now. High rpm rasp (fart) is nearly gone even in sport plus. Burbles are way more subtle and way deeper.
As far as stock exhaust valves go, I have never made use of them, therefore loosing them was not a factor for me.

Overall additional cost ~$250
2 14" body length Magnaflow mufflers
2 3.5 to 4" reducers used for single tips
All painted with high temp primer and paint

Audio quality is poor on the phone so this is just for comparison purposes.
