Definitely go with AA midpipe though I have to say mine doesn't sound anything like that Sounds way better and I don't have the machine gun fire. Bought mine from Justin.

I have stock downpipes with the AA and MPE. Not that loud. It’s actually pretty civil.

Initially it reminded me of a Diesel engine at idle. But then you revved/punched it and it came alive! I know this is the best option but I still can't come to grips with cutting my factory mpe! |

Although I didn't explicitly explain, I meant "cutting" the pipes connecting to the box. The concern is it's still under warranty. If I cut any part of it or modify it, I'll lose that. That's the big deal. |

I still want it, but I might end up having to get fabspeed since it doesn't involve cutting. |

1. The fitment where it bolts to the down pipes is slightly off. You have to tug and pull at the down pipes and then tighten the bolts to make it line up. The flange holes for the fabspeed down pipes don't perfectly line up with the flange for the down pipes. For something that costs as much I expect perfect fitment. The heat shields have to be bent out if the way as well. 2. The second reason was the deal breaker. The fabspeed midpipe creates the lowest point in the car. The way it bends it creates a new low point which is likely to scrape if your car is lowered.

I would like to change my mid pipe and down pipes with anything other than stock but i definetly dont want this burble because that is what i hear/see in wannabee sport cars. so I don't want car to sound like an angry overtuned/modded a3 or similiar. In the second video how did you turn off pat pat pat sound aka the angry over modded little car sound? right now I have an mpe and the rest is stock. I am really bored with this car's sound issue I think the best is to get e46 or e92 until i get a f458 Thanks for the potential answers |

No discredit to AA mid - it's the best sounding version of the stock type tone. But equalized length is the future of exhausts for this platform. |

The pat pat pat noise is from the ECU file and only in sport/sport+ modes. If you have a non-competition file, you will not have this pat pat pat noise.
I would look into custom mid-pipes that actually equalize the length of both banks, the sound is completely different and actually gets rid of that monotoned/buzzy nature of the exhaust.

@Kilabyte are you in UK? I am planning to buy a aa mid pipe. let me know
@spool-twice thank you for your answer. Like you and @ntg43 said equal length seems like the solution. But we need a commercialized product which will wipe out all the exhausts in the market. people ask revs from me in the traffic and i ask for revs from e92, e46 m3 people. I hope someone from bmw is reading this. |

Follow the equal length thread. My car’s going in for development of a production level, equalized length, dual exit, valved system in early January. If all goes well, something should be available soon. No longer will we need to make excuses for this car’s exhaust sound. Can’t wait to see the values of every other exhaust tank. I’ll post all future updates there.
