Thanks. I agree it sounds great and am really happy with the result. I tried a lot of exhaust setups on my F80 M3 but couldn’t get the S55 to sound how I wanted. It’s tough to compare it to an MB V8 as those sound amazing in person, but for a straight six I am very pleased.
2 questions 1.) is the exhaust for M4 comp better than m3 comp? And 2.) does it have a better acceleration/Is it faster than M3 comp rear wheel drive or all wheel drive?
1) Nope, exactly the same exhaust for both that m3 and m4. 2) the xdrive (awd) is noticeably faster. For 2025 the xDrives have more horsepower as well.
@@cadreperformance thank you! You just became my best friend lol. I’m all stock, about to pull the trigger on gen 2 resonated el mid pipe (I’m assuming that’s what you have too, can u confirm?), gen 2 axel back, and am curious to know from you if you ran your set up without valve controller at all, and if you did, how big of a difference the valve controller makes. Thank you again.
Haha no worries. I did the videos so people didn’t run into that same problem I did - nowhere to hear the exact setup. So this midpipe is the non-resonated version. It will be louder. I did not try it without a valve controller but the SST has a “half open” setting that simulates stock opening. It is quieter than full open. I personally think it’s too quiet but I like to hear the exhaust with the windows down and I’m on the highway. I would highly recommend the SST controller.
@@cadreperformance I think I’m gonna run it without valve controller first to see if it’s good enough for me. I don’t love the idea of another remote/switch that’s not fully integrated in the car already. Maybe that’s minor and I shouldn’t trip off it but still. Poring through forums for this exact set up, the nuggets I pick up point to valve controller being necessary tho😫
Not the worst idea. Saves you some $$ too. I will say there is the stock operation mode on the SST if you prefer it that way. Regardless you’re going to love the AA EL sound. These videos do not do it justice - it sounds phenomenal.

That sounds insanely good. Always been a Benz guy but man BMW performance and sound is just something so beautiful

Highly reccomend adding remus exhaust too with this setup
Do you have xHP installed?
No - the tune is all stock.
Is this aa el mid pipe and aa axel back and stock everything else? Do you have valve controller? Thank you.
Yes to all. This is the AA equal length mid pipe as well as the AA gen2 rear section. I also have an SST Valve Controller installed.
