Biggest difference in doing the cat delete was getting on demand pops.
100% get the ASR first, if thats good enough for you, then no need to take a knife to your exhaust. If you still want more, $200 and 30 minutes gives you another bump in sound.
Me personally, I still want more, so considering muffler delete now.

thats the route i took. Secondary cat delete followed by ASR and then AWE H pipe with muffler delete
Also, this car absolutely pumps in fake sound lol. Mercedes did a good job of trying to hide it. Tested while on the highway with about 30-50% throttle. With the stock exhaust button on/off, there is a very noticeable fake noise that appears in the cabin when throttle is applied. Doesn't show up while revving in park.
Does it sound better with the Burmester sound system vs the stock system?
But in reality, this was one of my frustrations with the M3 until I thought about it and realized that whether the exhaust pathway is manipulated or spund system is added, it is basically just sound for fun. Listening to almost every Infinity sound the same made me realize that exhaust note is superficial. I would still preferto just have the natural (non speaker) exhaust.
Where did you get the AWE H pipe? I did not see it on the AWE website.
Does it just replace the stock H pipe and thus eliminate the valve in H pipe?
AWE doesnt sell exhaust components separately but I got lucky and was able to get one off a friend to whom AWE sent a replacement H pipe due to the valve rattling in the old one but that problem is easy to solve by just welding the valve shut and connecting a AWE valve simulator.
Their H pipe still has a valve similar to the factory one so it plugged right in and I was able to get a Track exhaust setup for a third of the price but if its something you are debating then you should def go for it.
There will obv be a little drone without the mufflers but under load the car sounds very mean and deep now.
Bought mine from here https://automotivepassion.net/produc...ift-cars-2019/
The box it arrived in lacked in bubble wrap and was crushed and ripped when I got it. Module still worked fine though, and I nicely got both versions of the remotes.
Only ASR. I don't think I personally need any additional volume, very happy with the results
So just a word of warning about Automotive Passion. I paid more than 2 weeks ago. Paypal holds their funds for 21 days (for whatever reason) and they refuse to ship my items until funds clear or I "Confirm Receipt" of goods. I have never had a seller do this and seems sketchy. This is a seller issue, eg they can overcome this delay also by providing tracking info
The experience above, with a product that seems like it barely made it, is grounds not to remove buyer protection. Dealing with international insurance is a nightmare - doing that right now with a different product and a middle-man seller is the only thing that kept my sanity.

Not sure what you mean. All C63's come with Burmester stock

Wow that seems shady. I paid with credit card through Paypal and for me at least they shipped it out not too long after. But they ordered the part from ASR first as they didn't have it in stock

I ordered from Automotive Passion (Thomas) as well a couple of weeks ago and they were super shady about it so I ended up asking them to cancel my order. They immediately stopped replying so I disputed the charge with my credit card company. I ended up going with the Renntech EVM exhaust module since it was 20% off around Thanksgiving and it works perfectly.

They actually gave me this response to the issue with Paypal on their end: "you can make the payment as ''GIFTS'' OR ''Family & friends'' we can get it easily as the Paypal which i sent to you is not our business paypal, it is just a normal paypal account which we just set up for receiving payment, please don’t think your buyer protection isn't protected"
Guess I have another week for payment to clear. If I had not already been waiting 2 weeks I would have skipped dealing with them.
That seems really shady though cause I don’t think PayPal’s buyer protection covers payments made under “gifts” or “family & friends”. Did you pay with a credit card? I would consider disputing it.

If you send as gifts or to family & friends, it's harder for you to claim anything back. The seller also saves on PayPal's seller fees since it wasn't a purchase. So if anything goes wrong you can't claim back - unless your account was hacked, that's a whole other ballgame

I picked up my 2020 C63S coupe on Friday: 220 miles so far and been behaving myself so far. Dropped it off this morning for tint, PPF, ceramic, swapping out the Sport Cup 2's for SS's, powdercoat the exhaust tips and black out the chrome window trim. I did have a chance to get it warmed up and play with the exhaust and driving mode options. Since I can't rev it past 4K that was it for the moment. I will say, there's definitely some snap, crackle and lots of pops. BTW, the Cup 2 tires are for sale.

Yes it is. John got it all done today. Window and sunroof tint, Feynlab (sp?) coated, door handle indentations, rear bumper lip, blacked out front silver lip and window trim. I also was fortunate to get the black badging in time for John to install that also. And, for my wife, I pulled off the Sport Cup 2 tires and replaced them with 4S's.
And the Cup 2's are still for sale for $1200 plus S&H.... Hellofa deal for someone. Only 200 miles on it. Need to drive it more.

Gorgeous car man, loved all that carbon fiber
Also the first time I’ve seen Aero Package in person, it’s a nice touch. Good call on the Feynlab. Coming up on one year for my black car and it’s held up well
Next mod for you should be an ASR exhaust module asap
Just in case anyone missed it, seems like the spec that UAE gets is different from the US/EU ones you guys are discussing - the car in the video sounds a lot like the one I have.
