If after ECU remap your pushing more torque then an M5 then this thing will be a weapon!

He said that they would not be doing their own in-house exhaust but did say that he could probably recommend a system from a reputable tuner.

Like you, I will wait and drive the car for a while first before deciding whether I need a remap. Plus, it's good to drive the car stock for a while in order to really appreciate the remap if and when it does finally get installed.

I do think that it'll be an absolute monster though. 46nm torque more than an M5 in such a compact car will be wild! I think as a "real world" car on the road, it's just going to be stunning, remap or not
