Yep, along with the full modular catback, that's on my short list of possibilities at the moment. Also the MAD Fat Boy and Millitek.

Just spoke with the owner of IRL the 4” modular single catback will be back once the valve rattle on cold start is fixed. He said they’re buying new valves that cost $875 and will send new valve and cover the cost to fix the cold start rattle for old customers. Not cheap, great company and owner

Catless no drone closed or open. Hit 120 on highway multiple times on accident with valves closed because it’s silent

The IRL and RVNG are just variations of the AA Signature Exhaust System for F8X/S55. I had it on my F80-82 and loved the deep-deep sound. The downside is the exhaust exits one set of tips or the other depending on valve open/closed. For the second/missing actuator you use an OEM resistor-plug to avoid a code, or ignore as it doesn’t cause a CEL. Mine did get a rattle after a while but I opened up the spring clip a little and the extra tension stopped the noise.

I don’t think it’s that simple. The way he explained it the valve rattles on the 4” because of the velocity of the exhaust hitting it. It’s not an issue on the 3.5” because it doesn’t flow as fast as the 4” does. They both used the same valve, now the 4” needs an upgraded valve to not rattle
