M2 Performance is an actual company, yes the quality/ fit and finish is not the best and most likely they copied the design from another exhaust company...except the price is a lot lower, but the M2 Company actually exist is not like the “no brand” things that you find in E-bay.

I updated my post with some pictures.
To me the M2 is worth the $250 price, more than that, probably not.
I was planning to get a custom exhaust, but it was going to cost me over 1K so I decided to get this first and work in the future modifying this M2 to what I want.
The exhaust is barely louder than stock; It does not sound like the F-sport at all, that is the sound that I like, but I will work around this M2…maybe delete the muffler like some people did… I do not hear any drone inside the cabin; I may do some test videos later.
For $500-600, I will get the M2 and an intake…

LOL nice job though, hope you enjoy your exhaust!

That's where I ordered mine from. Thinking of picking up the Joe Z intake from Carson Toyota, they told me $30 shipping to Canada. Can't wait to get the exhaust on.

Does the intake sound over power the exhaust? Intake sound is nice to a certain level, but I don't think it should over power the exhaust note. Love to hear a sound clip or vid of a drive by. My M2 is in transit, hopefully I'll have it by next week. Can't wait.

The sound of the M2 is what you will mostly hear up to 3k rpm. The intake adds to it even more. Beyond 3k rpm, it starts to tone down a little and that's when I started hearing the intake underneath the hood. Haha I wasn't used to it at first because there was some drone in the cabin, but now I love the sound. I'll try to post some videos some time this week.
