Equal-length exhaust discussion: new S55 sounds

[OtisF80M3]

That sounds really good. what i was expecting with the EL.

[spool twice]

Definitely! Still has the S55 edge to it, but now with a high rpm howl.

Are there going to be any other equal-length exhaust systems coming to the market soon, does anybody know?

If you check to the early days of this thread, people were DIYing their own equal length midpipes. Some sounded pretty great tbh - SpoolTwice's version come to mind as a fantastic sounding example using the stock muffler. Exhaust piping/bends/xpipes are pretty cheap and I was personally quoted $250 for the weld job by a reputable exhaust shop near me.

Any videos of F8x's running catless downpipe, resonated equal-length midpipe, and no muffler. I have an M4 with catless downpipes already and plan to get the AA Resonated Equal-Length midpipe paired with the stock zcp muffler. Fantastic sound, but it still seems just a little to tame. I wonder how the setup I mentioned plus with a AWE Track (practically no muffler) axle back exhaust would sound.

Just fyi, if you were to get the track awe exhaust, order the EL midpipes with the awe adaoter pipes. I have the switchpath and i have the EL midpipes with the adapter pipes. That’s the only way it will fit bolt on.

Are these still shipping this week?

Anyone have experience with or can comment on the Turner Motorsport axleback paired with the AA EL midpipe? Looks to be a direct fit (like the remus/dinan) based on the photos.

Ignore the dead-cat. It was a windy day and I wanted to capture the best sound possible with the boom mic.

I am pleased with this setup.

Sounds amazing.

Need suggestions and opinions.
Debating on a the single midpipe or resonated equal length midpipe by active autowerks. Wanting to go catless route but wondering if I should get resonated downpipes. If I do I'm deciding on keeping the stock midpipe ? Need some input here.
I currently have the zcp model for f80 and I've heard catless downpipe will sound too raspy, I'm trying to go for a deeper tone so I have a few options.
Ar resonated catless DP + zcp exhaust
aa single midpipe + ar resonated + zcp exhaust
Aa equal length midpipe + Vrsf or ssr downpipe + zcp.
Does anybody have these setups and wouldn't mind sharing clips of how your car sounds ? If anybody can also chime in on their experiences with your catless downpipes and suggest brands for me.

For those looking for a cheap option that makes good power still...

I replaced the rear cats with the vibrant 1792s and it really helped clean up the diesel tractor noises. Kept the oem resonator in place so, (3 total resonators)
