No, there was no specific sound tuning with respect to the exhaust. I compared several models (BMW Performance exhaust, Eisenmann, Bastuck) and decided on the Bastuck as it has a distinctive but not too obnoxious sound (or should I say: growl?). However, right after the install the sound was still rather discreet, and it took several hundred kilometers for it to really develop and achieve its final sound.

I'll try to do some soundfiles one of these days and put them on YouTube. It's particularly amazing when you cold start it or drive in a tunnel and then rev it up...!
