I agree with you here, specially if you have stock downpipes with primary cat back exhaust. All exhausts on this car have loud cold start but that's only for the first 20 seconds or so, after that they are not much louder than stock at idle or light throttle. So in that sense I feel that the valves are not necessary and are over rated until you go catless all the way. I don't use the valves on my AWE resonated and it has gotten almost twice as loud since I first had it installed. Maybe I should have gone with a valveless exhaust and saved on whatever the extra costs were. If I were to have a fully catless v8 than I would probably want valves at that point because some get ridiculously loud.

From a manufacturer's points of view adding valves to this exhaust would not be a smart move. It would satisfy the minority asking for valves, while driving a larger number of potential customers away because of increased price Quote:
Keep in mind AWE is noticeably louder than AA. Adding Catless DP to AWE will make the valves mandatory for daily driving. Adding catless DP to AA, will still keep that exhaust daily driving friendly even with no valves

I guess one could cut the OE exhaust to keep the secondary cats and only install the mid-pipe section à la MPE.

It refers to the exhaust changing mufflers and midpipes Other companies use terms like downpipe back or turbo back, referring to the exhaust changing everything starting from your downpipes to your mufflers

Exhaust on the F8X platform i feel is all personal preference, since you'll hardly se any real gain unless you got will a full system, IE Catless DP's and the works. That being said subscribed to this thread since I'll be in the market for an exhaust shortly, and by shortly i mean not for a while but I'll have this thread to help me choose when the time is right

So sounds like I want the Remus axle-back then. This would be the only "performance" related mod I'll be doing to this car so seems like consensus is the Remus sounds best with cars that are mostly stock.

On a fully stock car, Remus axle would be a good addition if you are looking for a deep and aggressive sound
