I still don't like sound coming out from that rear muffler. It's like BMW purposely built rear muffler sound like crap to make people purchase performance exhaust.

I will be disabling valve flap later to bring back that mean/aggressive exhaust sound across all RPM.

Not so much problem with drone either with valve flap disabled. Only time I get minor drone is when I am driving very low rpm on 7th gear (1.8k - 2k rpm) or going uphill on 7th gear. Other than that, no drone is present.
awesome info..thanks again
