N26 Quad Exhaust Suggestions

I have the N26 F30, I have the MPE exhaust with it and I'm looking to get a quad exhaust what do you guys recommend that sounds the best? I was thinking AWE Switchpath

the switchpath probably sounds good but $3K for an exhaust is just absurd for me. sorry $2.8K but still... if money is not object then go for it ^^

i'd just get the quad touring with black tips and maybe the mid-pipe. even this is a pretty penny, though...

Switchpath is a pretty cool feature but look at yourself from the outside, how often are you going to use that feature AND is it worth the extra cost? Most people probably will not want to nor need to use that feature.

My advice is get the AWE Touring. If you wan it louder, add either midpipe or downpipe and it will be more than loud enough. If you want it subtle but still be noticeable, just the axleback with the valve disconnected and remained open. If you want quiet, keep the valve connected so it's quiet on low RPMs and when you gun it, it'll open up.

This is based on my experience with the AWE Touring axleback. I've had a catless downpipe paired with it as well.

Lol weird typos...?

What I meant to say is, is there a way to modify the Remus quad exhaust to alter the sound? Has anyone tried doing a resonator or muffler delete on it? I like it the way it sounds as is with my catless DP, but I'm curious if others with this set up have modified it in any way.

You can always open up the muffler and mess with that, but definitely not recommended. It would usually end up sounding more raspy at the lower RPMs. With that said, it would be pointless to get a muffler delete because you might as well straight pipe your stock exhaust. It will sound almost exactly the same. Res delete would make a subtle difference but worth a shot.

I want something louder than the MPE and still have that deep sound. I don't really mind drone but something loud in general but not ricey lol. I was thinking AWE but the sound between the switchpath and the regular touring is the same. Except that the switchpath you can change between opening or closing the valve
