E90 M3 Remus Cold Start is LOUD- is it OK?!
Discussion
Hi all, in my recent foray into deciding which performance car should be my first "real" performance car now that I'm 25 I've pretty much settled on an E90 M3.
I found a lovely saloon in Silverstone, it's got a Remus exhaust already and the one thing with it is for work I have to leave at 5am sometimes.
When they fired it up cold it was LOUD. Obnoxiously loud even, I can't seem to find any other cars on youtube that start so loud cold.
I know there's some magic jiggery pokery that makes the car run loud for about a minute to warm up the cats, but this is another level. I had to actually shout over the sound to talk to the bloke.
Is this normal, should I just deal with it and try to leave for work as late as possible etc? Or could there be something wrong- it's fully serviced and only done 50k. Everything else is perfect. Can I do anything to stop it running so loud cold?
Not 100% sure if it's a full system with x pipe etc tbh but it's definitely at least cat back.

I do only have to leave at 5am once or twice a week, and the only reason I'm concerned is we've had an issue with one of our neighbours about her complaining to the police that she thinks we moved her wheelie bin... genuine nutcase.
Then again, it's a detached house on a main road so not exactly a quiet cul-de-sac and she used to fire up her TVR at 7am every Sunday, her bike every Saturday and dogs barking all night so don't think it's that bad.
Does anyone know approx how much the cold start delete costs and the best place to go, preferably on the south coast? I'll wait to see how the V8 sound goes down before shelling out on it, as I did really like the noise of it haha
