But this whole equal length product purchase experience has been real bad, and I'm not the only one. I know I could buy a single pipe from AA and get it within days, but that's not what I want to do.
Unless its in stock, I feel like I always have poor production timeline experiences by exhaust manufactures. Active Autowerke 50~ days past initial ship time. REMUS shipped wrong exhaust first time around.... and now working with Valvetronic Designs ( Ordered in December and still waiting)

Always fun ~~
I got lucky with DINAN, they shipped my axleback within 2 and a half weeks. Sucks because it's been sitting in my garage brand new in box months as I wait for the AA EL. Oh well in the end I guess I have no choice. And clearly I'm not the only one waiting.

Not with OE valve control. If the valves are forced open (via valve controller or tuning software), then absolutely there is

NOT S55 but cool none the less to see S58 get an EL treatment:



I still like EL S55 better as it is a bit more exotic and different than N55, but no doubt EL S58 sounds great (more like a B58)

I have great news, I finally am getting my AA EL midpipe this Wednesday. I got the FedEx tracking and everything. So, if any of you on here ordered approximately early February, there's a great chance yours is coming this week or next.

I am immediately dropping it off to a shop I use for install!

I guess I can finally stop bitching about the wait...

After this wait you gotta now stare in the mirror and repeat the following phrase: "I AM GOING TO LIKE IT... I AM GOING TO LIKE IT... I AM GOING TO LIKE IT"

I mean if I don't there's a brand new G80 M4 at my local BMW dealer on the lot. Kidding... I've invested way too much in my car to let it go now.

Thanks everyone for appreciating the video. I forgot to mention I coded out the exhaust burbles as well. I didn't want anything artificial interfering with the exhaust note. What you're all hearing is the S55 in it's purest form albeit without catless dp's.

No sound clips yet, getting a bunch of other work done too but here's a sneak peak at the AA EL midpipe install with a new Dinan axle back. Don't worry, I'll make tons of videos!
