Excerpt from the article:

"Recently, the Slovenian company created a new system that allows them, and their customers, to adjust the way the car sounds. It’s a system they call Adjustable Acoustic Reflector. Now, it is available for BMW 440i models.

Their new product has been designed to enhance the sound inside the car’s cabin and improve the overall driving experience, of course. According to Akrapovic, it is simple to use and fits on the tube that leads from the muffler to the tailpipe. Apparently, it opens and closes the slots that are in the tube to produce a fully immersive sound in the car’s cockpit. When the manually adjustable reflector opens the slots, more sound reflects into the car, providing a different aural effect."

Are they using it with the stock system? Where do we buy it from?

That is cool! Too bad they couldn't have it controlled with the exhaust flap so sport comes alive, comfort goes quiet.
