makes sense ,and i have heard of turbos acting as mufflers before.

Ya i these M cars are made to be classy, and sporty. i get the part where they want the exhaust to be fine tuned.

i wouldn't say premium = utterly silent though. kind of depends on the premium car. i mean a Audi R8 V10 is most likely going to scream somewhat
