Must've missed that. Weird, thought they said they had it strapped on now.

This is good news, but not surprising. BMW is famous for understating power in their cars.
Now we just need some good aftermarket exhausts on the market, because the price BMW is asking for their perf. exhaust is laughable. Titanium or not.

Was the finalized pricing released? I only saw initial estimates.

I think they published official pricing for all M Perf. parts and the exhaust was in the neighborhood of $6k. Ridiculous.

Yeah, that is pretty laughable. 10% of the car's MSRP for a catback exhaust... I've said before, I wish more american manufacturers would get into the game. Titanium exhaust, in my opinion, hardly sounds well off anywho. I like it on GTR's, but that is about the only platform I have heard it and it sounded to my liking.

No, they never released pricing on the exhaust.

You may be right. I thought they had released prices on all M Perf. parts.
Regardless, if the OG M2's MP exhaust was nearly $4k for stainless, how much do you think BMW is going to charge for a BMW branded titanium MPE? If it wasn't an official price, $6k was the educated guess being bandied about. I mean they're charging $4k for a f'ing CF hood!

OG M2 MPE (without tips) is listed for $2000 at BMW's online store and can be found for less than $2000 at several other online stores. The MPE for M2C is a muffler-only system so even though it's titanium I don't expect it to be priced more than $4K (without tips of course). Even if the lis price is around $4K, many online BMW part stores offer these parts with 25-30% discounts so we might be able to find it for ~$3K. |

Adding tips brings the cost (MSRP) close to $4k (OG M2 MPE). Sure you can get it less than that via discounts, but BMW pricing is basically $4k. For stainless. I will bet two virgin princesses that BMW MSRP for this exhaust will be $5k or more. Probably $6k.

Especially US based aftermarket exhaust companies have a great opportunity right now to take advantage of the delay on the MPE but they seem to be quite lazy as well. Whoever comes up with a decent exhaust will take my money, MPE or aftermarket doesn't matter. I paid $4500 for my M4 MPE with CF tips and was quite happy with the sound as well as having manufacturer's 4 years warranty since it was port installed. So wouldn't mind paying more for MPE as long as it provides the same level of improvement it did on my M4. |

I honestly cannot get myself to spend that much on an axleback and tips. That is so otherworldly ridiculous.. 2k is about the fair range for a system that retains active exhaust

AA has their signature exhaust system (catback, single-pipe as opposed to dual pipe) for M3/M4 and I believe it costs around $3-3.5K. It sounds pretty good too compared to stock. I really thought they would come up with something very similar for M2C as well but still no news. I have about a month to receive my car so still hopeful that there will be at least couple options by the I take delivery.

AA does an X-pipe or combined single pipe, right? I think I recall seeing that in the M4 forums.
Combining the exhaust impulses seems to be critical to getting a decent sound out of the S55.
