Maybe we need AA to make EL pipes here too?

Would merging into a single pipe like the B58 help? Obviously the under side is not packaged well for that but figured I would ask.
B58 is a single turbo into a single mid pipe, so inherently EL. A single midpipe with this twin turbo setup would end up sounding like the single mid on the S55 unless the pipes were equalized prior to the merge. Also, EL won't fix rasp, only resonators will do that. FWIW M engines have always been raspy, but I think it's important to distinguish rasp from the underlying exhaust tone as they are addressed in different ways
