If I had a US spec M3/M4, I would go for the AA single midpipe, no brainer. Mine is UK spec so the lack of OPF/GPF would make fitting the midpipe an issue.
I find x-pipe midpipes too loud, reminds of the S58 along with the rasp/tin sounding exhaust. Whereas a single midpipe is more a of a refined and deeper sound. In my opinion anyway, others may disagree.

Very happy with the PSI midpipes lately. Easy to install, sound great and no issue with clearing the center exhaust bracket.

You'll get a better deal and perfect fitment from Inked Customs.
He's the only guy using a flex joint to make sure the downpipes fit no matter what. He also isn't overloaded with volume like AA has been recently. Check him out on instagram. |

Here in VA we have boxes set up on the side of the road that sniff the cars & snaps a picture of their tag if they are polluting (only Northern VA) usually on off/on ramps near highways where a load is put on the vehicle. |

The single midpipes are pretty different from the x/h pipe midpipes in terms of sound. You can't just "pop one" and say it doesn't make a difference which one you choose. Single midpipes eliminate a lot of rasp, which is why they sound great with catless dp's. Since OP is looking to stay legal, I'd just get the resonators cut out by a muffler shop then buy a Remus race axle back. It'll sound pretty mean despite stock dp's as is evident by Shmee's video.

PLife is right. I went AA single mid and while it’s a little deeper and smoother sounding, it basically sounds 80% the same as stock, just a little louder.

I have the AA X-pipe and I like it a lot. The AA single is one of the most popular options. X-pipe is louder than the single, This plays a role when you add an axle-back. Some customers want the more aggressive sound with the X-pipe, others prefer the single to keep the exhaust volume under control. The same goes with PSI and valvetronic midpipe with valvetronic being very similar to the AA single.

Resonators have nothing to do with smog. They only lower the exhaust noise. Only the catalytic converters in the downpipes do that.

Unless you are in CA, then everything has to do with smog
