They actually split a while back. Edge started in Dublin but then split into 2 entities. One in Dublin and the other in Mountain View. The MTV group moved to Fremont. Not sure if the Dublin group is still there or not.
@@PointShiftDrive any idea if Left Coast Diesel is still around? I remember they used to joke about “Anything where fun starts at 1000hp...you’ve got to get in on that!” 😂 They used to be collocated at the Dublin shop. I left the Bay Area in 2014, so I’ve missed out on a bit. Lol. That aside, really like the exhaust combo. I’m trying to pick up a Remus for my M2C before I come back to the US from Germany. The import taxes make them crazy expensive, but they are soooo worth it. Pairing it with the AA EL pipe brings back that N55 sound, which is glorious!
I heard a bone stock m2c fly by while I was waiting at the pedestrian crossing and boy did it sound good. I can't imagine how this would sound going pass on a quiet street :O
Nick, this video is great. Very helpful. I've been planning to do this exact same setup, but I've been torn between the resonated and non-res midpipe. I'm afraid the non-res might be too loud. You seem to love it though. A year after this video, what are your impressions? Are you getting too many looks from the cops?
Unfortunately I didn’t have anyone helping me film that day so I couldn’t cover all the scenarios. But I may do that in future videos. Thanks for watching regardless.
Thanks for putting this video together. The in-depth is good as well as clips of sound. Very civilized in non sport. A question on the AA EL. Did you go with resonated version? If not what kind of drone are you getting in what rev range? Thanks Nick!
I went with non resonated mid. you will see some drone at like 2900-3500 RPM but it actually depends more on throttle position. and to be frank, the drone to me isnt really noticeable. I am very happy with this set up.
@@PointShiftDrive Hi again. I have just installed the same exhaust on my M2CS. The non-res AA EL mid and Remus race. However, mine doesn’t sound like yours in the video. Mine being much quieter. I messed with the throttle buttons from efficient to sport plus and really did nothing. I do t have all those neat pops and burbles you have. Now, I am wondering if the CS engine has something to do with it. We did connect valve vacuum hoses. Any thoughts as to why it may be different? Appreciate the feedback! Thank you!
@@Wisesap The pops and burbles are actually software controlled. Have you done any software tuning (maybe to allow for the mid pipe)? There's an app that controls this. Let me know if you still have the issue and I'll look it up.
Does the AA EL midpipe need to be cut in anyway to fit the remus race exhaust? On a side note...I'm wondering if you've been that other M2C I've seen now and again. I live in the same area...
Any drone at all? I went with the Remus Sport version and can't decide between resonated or non resonated. Yours is the race with non resonated and doesn't sound obnoxious at all.
@@PointShiftDrive some people were complain they said its to loud and they were paired single midpipe with sport remus catback , for me personally that setup its to quite .
@@tobiaszdabkowski5450 well sport and race rear muffler set ups have an impact on volume. But also if you don’t want to gamble with anything being too loud, replace muffler first. And decide if you want more punch
@@PointShiftDrive the thing is i think that setup will be sound similar what you got . I don’t like the sport Remus on efficiency when the valves are closed - sounds totally like stock or even worse . Race one on efficiency even sounds better like sport exhaust. The other thing I don’t want to cut my stock muffler . Why ? Because when it become to sell my car I just swap the exhaust and I will sell the Remus separately.
@@tobiaszdabkowski5450 makes sense. well doesnt hurt to experiment to find what might work best. I get what you are saying with cutting the OE. however that can be resolved but any muffler shop. just weld it back together. or resleve it.
No. with this set up you would fail visual inspection. to pass you would need the OE midpipe back on. However with a 2020 you dont need to smog it for 8 years.
The US version of the car doesn't have the OPF. I've been trying to get the North American factory ECU tune for my European M2C, but no luck. I'll have to do an aftermarket tune.
Such a great upgrade! It takes the car from "fast car but sounds a smidge like a lawnmower" to just "fast car" -- great sounds!
The EU and UK ones sound like lawn mowers, overseas lucky no OPF so much better
I didn’t know Edge Motorwerks moved down to Fremont from Dublin. Glad to see they’re still around! Love that shop. Great guys!

@@C3Motorsport not sure about LC... but I fully agree that this set up makes the S55 sound more like the N55. totally worth it.
That shop looked super familiar then I saw Edge MW!! Great guys there
Sounds great!
I heard a bone stock m2c fly by while I was waiting at the pedestrian crossing and boy did it sound good. I can't imagine how this would sound going pass on a quiet street :O
Yeah. I think it sounds decent from the factory. I did a video that talks about that a bit here: ua-cam.com/video/7_GNKi6H1DE/v-deo.html

they sound amazing man exactly what im looking for... problem is now, idk which car to choose the f82 m4c or m2c haha
What did u end up choosing?😁
Would love to hear some drive-bys sound! :)
Unfortunately I didn’t have anyone helping me film that day so I couldn’t cover all the scenarios. But I may do that in future videos. Thanks for watching regardless.
@@PointShiftDrive please do 😎. This video made me get the EL for my M2C, thanks for taking the time
hey man, no hate but I have OCD your tail pipes are leaning 5-10ish degrees to the left and its driving me nuts lol
Lol. Yeah they moved a bit after install. Already straightened. Thanks for letting me know :)
Beautiful sounds!! Question.... where did you get your steering wheel mods a from ie the red m buttons and alcantara wheel?
Bought these from Tisher BMW and IND

@@jorehaast9887 Yes. I did not remove.

Great video and very informative. Seriously considering this setup for my F80.
Can’t wait to hear more of this!!
Looks so much better! But still hard to beat The 1m. How much did it cost? Thank you for The video👍
You are welcome... the mid pipe was around $1200. The remus as around $3200 but I got it for under $2800 during a sale.
Does the AA EL midpipe need to be cut in anyway to fit the remus race exhaust? On a side note...I'm wondering if you've been that other M2C I've seen now and again. I live in the same area...
No cutting needed if you marry these two.
Any drone at all? I went with the Remus Sport version and can't decide between resonated or non resonated. Yours is the race with non resonated and doesn't sound obnoxious at all.
I think it’s perfect
Muy dream car! 🙏🏼 this 2021 🙏🏼
Do you need to cut on the Remus axle back in order to fit the midpipe ?
I didnt need to do any cutting
@@PointShiftDrive okay, thank you 🙏 my midpipe is on the way and looking to pair it with the Remus axle back
Are these the 102mm angled chrome tips?
I don’t remember the diameter
did you install a valve controller too?
This kit leverages the OEM valve control
@@PointShiftDrive what?
Would love to hear this with the dct
Snappy downshifts!
Skip to 7:00 if you actually want to hear something
Thats why there is a time code in the description
I wanna do same stup but with single midpipe what’s your toughts about it
My guess is that it will still sound good... but it might add some rasp and slightly less throatiness.

any drone on this setup?
Pretty much all aftermarket exhaust will drone a bit. This does at 3k rpm with valves closed.
Tf is drone?
@@PointShiftDrive did you mean drone at 3k with valves open? or does it drone even with valves closed at that rpm? thanks
Can you pass emissions inspections?
No. with this set up you would fail visual inspection. to pass you would need the OE midpipe back on. However with a 2020 you dont need to smog it for 8 years.
God I want one so bad
You can call it a muffler. It's not called a rear box
sure. its a "muffler" :)
@@PointShiftDrive lmao
AA EL 💦
Man... coming from V8’s and V10’s and owning an M2 comp now I would legitimately be embarrassed to have my car sounding like that lol
This definitely isn’t for you then.
Does this remove the OPF or does this system run from the OPF back?
No OPF
The US version of the car doesn't have the OPF. I've been trying to get the North American factory ECU tune for my European M2C, but no luck. I'll have to do an aftermarket tune.
