Here are a couple of sound clips. I do also have a Fabspeed high flow cat. The exhaust has been on the car for about 3k miles now and the sound is pretty much what I was looking for. It's got a noticeable tone without being obnoxiously loud. Cold starts are pretty loud but after 20 sec. it calms down. It definitely sounds better in person as well my iPhone mic doesn't do it justice.

Hmmm. I just tried them now and I get sound. I uploaded them from YouTube they should work fine.

does anyone feel the exhaust tips stick out too far? Is this part adjustable? curious if the mperformance diffuser covers them more or not.

They can be adjusted.

Absolutely adjustable and I recently corrected both tip angle and depth recently when I was under the car for something else. I found they where angled down slightly, so corrected that plus shifted the tips back even a little further. Subtle difference, but I can see it and looks even better.

I just installed the M performance diffuser and I felt that it did cover the tips a bit more than stock diffuser. I have the 90mm tips.

Sea can you take a picture from up top angle and maybe a side profile showing how much they stick out now. I'd prefer to have them lightly flush with the rear bumper

If I could do it over again I would have probably gone with the MPE, I had it on my previous vehicle and loved it. I ended up deleting the resonator with the AA Exhaust that helped open it up a bit more, I feel like with the resonator delete, it now sounds like it should have came from AA. More raspy and more burbles now.
There is a little drone at lower RPM but nothing you cant live with, the drone was there prior to the resonator delete. I wanted more sound in the higher frequency range, more raspy and I felt like the AA was very mild when I first got it. Great quality product though, overall I am happy with the AA exhaust but it needs the Resonator delete. If I didn't have the delete it left me wanting more. I think its meant to be paired with a DP. |

Yea I have a Fabspeed high flow cat and the MHD tune with burble option. So I guess mine might sound a bit different, lol.

I took advantage of X-PH's Labor Day sale and pulled the trigger on the AA exhaust. Going to be pairing it with my VRSF catless dp. I was hoping to find a video with a catless downpipe, but I guess I'll find out soon enough.
Any videos of yours? TMac335i

That said, there are some videos out there and the process should be roughly the same for any DP.

Got it installed yesterday. Fitment is great, but it was a pain in the ass getting it to fit properly. My 435i Gran Coupe has an OEM x-brace (not shown in any install pictures/DIY videos). I'm assuming it is specific to Gran Coupes? The x-brace limited the adjustability, but we got it to work. It hasn't stopped raining for like 2-3 days, so no pictures or videos yet. But damn, it sounds really good with my VRSF catless downpipe! It was exactly what it I was looking for. I would highly recommend renting the pipe/exhaust cutter from Auto Zone. It made cutting the exhaust very fast and easy.
I am also very happy that I was able to tone down my cold start with BM3. I'm sure my neighbors can appreciate that too haha Edit: Shout out to BMW DIY Guy I followed his YT video

I'm in the same boat. I've bought all my go fast parts from Mike at Extreme Power. Fmic, charge pipes, BM3 tune, and catted downpipe. I then swapped out wheels and tires. Last mods were front lip, rear diffuser, and M Performance side skirt decals. Next is AA exhaust or MPE. Cost is of course a factor, but you can find a used MPE here for less than a new AA, but I do like having new vs used. Mostly because you really don't know the condition of the used parts, unless you're buying them in person. I want more sound, with as little drone as possible, but I'm not looking for an overly loud exhaust as this is still our family car. The people that have bought the AA exhaust seem satisfied, but I can't help but think the MPE is the better all around-er...

I was on the fence between the MPE and the AA just like you. After reading reviews on both and hearing that the AA does not have a valve i ended up getting the MPE. Waited until i got a discount code from eBay and was able to grab a new MPE and polished tips at 15% off. Installed it a few weeks ago and i absolutely love it!! As people have mentioned there is a breaking in period and after 350 miles its much deeper in tone!
On a side note i have heard mention of slight drone with the AA so keep that in mind.
