Just picked up my VO 1M yesterday!

Hey I just got my VO 1m from down in long beach yesterday and drove it back up here! I'm super excited about it. Only 6400 miles on it (6800 after the drive). Definitely exhaust is one of the first things I wanna do on it. This stock one is very boring sounding…. Any local bay area guys around with some exhausts on theirs? Does anybody do any meets or anything? Here's a couple pics, I'll try and get more soon, just exhausted from the whole process and feeling a bit under the weather. Thanks

I got a meisterschaft exhaust with no cats on mid and down pipes. It's loud and aggressive if that's what you like!

If you're sure you want downpipes, start there and work your way back. I'm using Akra downpipes and mids with the stock rear section. The tone is a bit different than stock, but the volume isn't that much louder.

Congratulations and welcome!
There is a 1M registry that Metak painstakingly put together.
You should be able to plug your VIN in and figure it out.

It is a bit tricky at first and I got my number wrong at first.

Not enough noise from the exhaust? Hmmm, depress the right pedal more.

Thanks all you guys! I'm loving the car so far, I also have a e92 M3 and this little car I just might say it is more fun to drive! I love the size of it and it just overall feels tighter and more focused (and I have a Dinan Stage II suspension on my M3). Great car and one I'll definitely be keeping!
