Still loving it!! The creaking that I mentioned in OP seems to be totally gone now.
The rattling/vibrations at low rpm still happen sometimes but it's really not a big deal. I don't think it's worth it to me to take it back to the shop. For all I know they'll fix it only to make something else slightly off. I'm content with it as-is. 🥳 |

Darn you OP @ESB...my wallet isn't happy and is much lighter at the moment: AA EL non-resonated order completed through mike@x-ph.com...thanks Mike!!!! Since my downpipes are and will remain stock, I've decided to keep it non-resonated/straight pipes
Initially I was gunning for the Dinan muffler section + the x-pipe, because it will clean up the sound (slightly) and get rid of the cow udder rear look. But seriously, the AA EL is far superior to my ears, it is as sexy as I have ever heard coming out of any inline 6 motor, I can live with the udder look for a while. May consider adding the Remus Sport muffler or AA's own back box at a later date...Besides, seems Dinan is still having supplier delays, as it has perpetually been back-ordered. Does anyone know if AA much better at fulfilling orders and keeping schedule? The current ETA is late April, early May...and I'm hoping this remains pretty solid.

Yep, same here: I anticipate NLT mid-May to have my own AA EL installed (I already gave my shop a heads up that I'll have them install it for me...I could probably handle the single AA midpipe install on my own, but don't want to take chances on the EL one though). need. to. step. away. from. this. thread. meanwhile. ...the wait will be killing me, so I have to keep being distracted by something else.

I'm hoping others in my area get EL midpipe and pair it to different rears. I'd love to take a listen and see how it compares. I agree I'd like to get rid of the ugly look of the stock muffler. I'm worried that Remus will be too loud though. Also quite frankly the $$$ for the rear sections feels like bad ROI given how good the car sounds now. EL mid is only like $1200 whereas rear sections are more than double that from what I've seen. Quote:

it is amazing to me that the s55 has been out there since 2014 and taken a ton of negative press and while i do think there have been some decent improvements with different rear sections and mid pipes but nothing great IMO. NOW throw that all away as the EL by itself or with a number of rear sections will finally reduce the number of times i seek out video clips of the E92 m3's with aftermarket exhausts and daydream on how to i wished we could also have a great sound to go along with the S55 beast.

The burbles maybe doubled in volume so I turned them off.
Burbles aside, I'd say the car got maybe 20-30% louder during lower RPMs and 60-80% louder at high RPMs? Hard to really say though. Net-net I don't find it obnoxious for daily driving and it's a ton of fun when gunning it. This is coming from someone who has no experience with aftermarket exhausts and was nervous about having it be too annoying. No regrets. |

In my opinion, and I know this may contradict some fellow members' viewpoints, the burbles interfere with the potential that the S55 engine/exhaust overall sound can reach. My entire '19 M2C is stock except those nasty, childish burbles which I coded them out via BimmerLink last Aug [really bothered me, so I asked the developer if they can be removed, got an iOS beta version (now it's officially released) - burbles have been gone since]. Cliff's Notes w.r.t. S55 engine/exhaust sound nirvana: step 1: install AA EL midpipe step 2: code out burbles step 3 (optional, especially if the cow udder is an eye sore): install your favourite back box/muffler (Remus Sport seems the best sounding option, albeit not cheap)
