A lot of people have been complaining about the sound the new 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 makes on the F10 M5 saying either that it’s too subtle or that it is just not all that impressive to begin with. While we’re all for a subtle, mean character on our cars, we can understand where these complains are coming from.
This is an M5 and it should let people know it. Of course, that doesn’t mean you’d have to wake up your neighbors all the time but when the pedal is meeting the proverbial metal, things should get wild.
That’s just not happening on the new M5 and owners have been looking for alternatives for quite some time. However, a full, proper aftermarket exhaust might set you back a small fortune. Akrapovic, Eisenmann and other manufacturers are offering good products but they have a rather high price tag to begin with.
For example, an Akrapovic Evolution Titanium exhaust system will set you back around $8,400 whereas what we’re showing you today is only a fraction of that.
The guys from Supersprint are showcasing their catless downpipes for the M5 and we had no idea they could make such a big difference. According to them, the sound you hear in the video below was made by the stock exhaust hooked up to their products and it’s nothing short of impressive.
The best news? It only costs €1,459 ($1,662), VAT included in Europe so it’s quite a rebate compared to a full exhaust. Is it worth it? Well, there’s only one way to find out: click on the play button, below.
