The tone of Soom's car is quite distinctive; I love it.

With the full Valvetronic, I was hoping for an even more aggressive sound than the Soom setup with the addition of the axleback while not having to cut any OEM pipes.
My feelings exactly.

I'm not sure if SSR downpipes are somehow magically made differently, but the OEM axle back with the SSR downpipes + Valvetronic's midpipe sounds the best to me. I'm currently leaning towards Valvetronic's full exhaust + AA catted downpipe; I'm hoping the axle back makes up for the rawness of the catted DP..

Or I could enjoy a catless DP and swap every year when it's time for emissions + inspection.

Stupid Soom and his awesome sounding M3
