AA Single Midpipe question

[Full_of_fit]

Hello,
First of all Thank you for taking the time to help me out. I bought an Active Autowerke Single midpipe a couple months back. Now it seems I’m having a hard time finding axle backs that will bolt straight up. Are the following choices correct or are they incorrect?
1. Remus, yes I know a lot of people like this exhaust but I’m not a fan of the popcorn sound.
2. M Performance? Maybe to quite an expensive but it is what it is.
3. Dinan? I honestly have no idea

I don’t know I made a mistake buying the midpipe instead of a full catback. Please help me out. I greatly appreciate you guys for your time and help,
Ian

On my F82, I had it mated to the stock ZCP muffler. Direct bolt on with clamps. On my F80 now, it's with the Dinan Axleback. I would assume it works with any axleback that can bolt onto stock midpipes.

Pretty sure dinan will mate up

Popcorn sound? My Remus + AA cat-less downpipes + AA single mid pipe is deep and thundery. Maybe it's because I removed burbles but I enjoy the deep tone. As far as pairing to an axle back exhaust any should fit.

You are right with the downpipe it would be great but I cannot get a downpipe right now because of extended warranty. If I go with a 200 cel downpipe I’m guessing I would get a check engine light and if I code it out my service advisor told me I would void the extended warranty.

I should have mentioned that my car is a ZCP so that is what it is mated to.

Sorry for the multiple posts, but do you have any sound clips of your current set up? Thank you for your help.,

Not really but I have this. Unfortunately my carplay took over and I didn't realize it so the recording is from the car microphone hence the buzziness. I'll record some new videos and post them.

Full_of_fit here's a cold start video I just recorded. The iPhone mic isn't great...definitely should've positioned it differently but here it is.

Cold Start (valves open) > valves closed > sport (open) > sport plus (open).

There's a little rasp and buzz that is due to the pipes needing adjustment and I just haven't gotten to it. When it's warm it's way smoother.

Thanks man! Now I just need to find a good price on a Remus Axleback, calling vendors...

Does your setup get raspy in the higher rev ranges due to the catless dp's?

Not raspy more brassy. It's just loud.

Dinan will pair with AA single mid. I run this set up now.
MPE could pair but you'll have to cut the MPE mid pipe.

If you don't mind, whenever you get the time could you post some sound clips from the inside and maybe some distant higher rpm revs?

This is exactly what I’m going with. I was going to go with Remus but I got a new Dinan with Black tips for a steal.

It rained all weekend here but when the sun decides to show up I'll snag some fly-bys.

I have similar. Akrapovic skat dp and remus mid with bubbles. Toooo loud. I must find a solution.
Suggestions are welcome

OK, it's sunny again and I am actually working with a new tuner so perfect time to grab some logs and flybys. I'll try this weekend.
