Agreed. I have the AA exhaust on my 2016 340i xDrive and love how it sounds. It's not too loud but has a nice note to it. But at the same time I am considering the AA downpipe for the added power and sound.

I think it sounds perfect with catted downpipe

@BMWApp Would you be willing to record a video / soundclip of your 340i? I've been looking everywhere for an AA exhaust on the B58.

I'll record and post a video as soon as I can. Hopefully later on I'll have another video with the AA catted downpipe to compare!

If you are looking for an aggressive sound and dont mind a little raspiness, catless with this exhaust sounds great.

If you prefer a clean tone, get the catted downpipe

That's my plan. It will just take a while for the video with the AA catted downpipe since I need to save up to get it. But I'll get the video with just the AA exhaust posted in the next day or two.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to post a video that is stored on your phone? I'm trying to post a video of the AA exhaust on my 340i but all I can get to is pictures.

Thanks. See the link below.




The sound quality isn't great but I will say that I really like the sound of the exhaust. I wanted something that sounded better than the stock exhaust and was a little bit more aggressive but not too much (the X3 M40i parked next to it covers that).

And sorry for not having any sound clips while driving. I don't have a camera for it. The exhaust has a nice sounding note to it when accelerating and has very little to no drone.

I hope this helps but let me know if you have any questions.

I forgot to mention that the first two revs are in Comfort mode, the second two are in Sport mode and the last two are in Sport + mode. While you can't tell so much from this video, burbles are more pronounced in Sport and Sport + compared to Comfort.

BMWApp Thanks for the upload -- appreciate it man! I'm currently debating between AA and AWE. AA is substantially cheaper but I think after hearing your soundclip I'm leaning towards the more aggressive burbly sounding AWE:



But I'm also considering a VRSF / ER catted DP ... maybe AA+DP would give me more than enough. Once again I'll be waiting on your before/after vid

It's going to be a while for me on the AA catted downpipe. I'm not in the market for it right now.

It might be a little late if you have already purchased an exhaust but I did just buy the Active Autowerke catted downpipe from Mike at Extreme Powerhouse. I'm hoping to get it installed in the next two weeks and will post a video of it with my Active Autowerke exhaust along with my impression on the sound and performance improvements.

Thanks mike@x-ph.com for the great deal!

Here is a sound clip of a cold start with the AA catted downpipe and AA axle back exhaust on my 2016 340i. I got the downpipe installed today and am loving it so far. It's definitely louder on the cold start but not too loud. I'm liking the improvement!
