x5m: muffler delete vs megan muffler`

Hi guys, looking to do a muffler delete, but tempted by the megan racing muffler.

How much louder/better is a muffler delete vs the megan? Megan is less hassle (I can install it myself, don't need to source tips, etc.)

Thanks!

I've got no complaints with my Megan Supremo - especially for the price. It's loud enough with downpipes and I think it'd be too loud with no muffler at all, especially on cold start. Some higher dollar systems definitely sound better but not $2-3k better in my opinion.

I have stock DPs. From the videos I've seen muffler delete seems to sound about right, and megan + DP sounds epic (but not planning on doing DPs).

Are all megan called supremo, or are there 2 types (regular and supremo)?

That I'm not sure about - Regular vs Supremo. Just know I did the Supremo with black tips and it looks and sounds good for the price.
