This https://mad-us.com/mad-bmw-m3-m4-g8x...-back-exhaust/

Downpipes are going to make any system fairly loud even without a axle back. Maybe consider our 200cell catted downpipes to keep the volume down.

This seems like exactly what I was looking for, ima see how loud the downpipe is with stock axel but I’ll figure it out. If anyone else has any other suggestions I would still like to hear others

I'll be selling my AA Axleback somewhat soon (in the next couple weeks), I'd price it significantly under $2500 if you'd be interested

In the video I posted above you can hear exactly what your car would sound like with our exhaust and the valves fully opened with a valve controller.

We have a few videos of our exhaust with catless dp's on our instagram page as well.

Yes, with that one, I can use OEM valvle setting and get good level amount of sound, then fully open or use 50% with the SST controller, in wich to be honest that 50% open option is more like 95%, I can't really tell the difference inside, lol.
How is your Axleback compare to OEM? More flow or less?

Excellent! I figured that would help with the issue you were having.

My honest opinion

Once the valves are fully open, all axle-back exhaust systems, including the factory option, will exhibit similar performance and flow, as they essentially become straight pipes with minimal restrictions. However, our muffler section surpasses the factory setup in terms of flow, thanks to its straight-through design compared to the multiple baffled chambers in the factory system.

The primary advantages of an axle-back system lie in weight reduction, enhanced sound, and improved aesthetics.

Catless downpipe + midpipe + axle back = loud

i want an aggressive sound that is not obnoxious and can be used on a daily driver. With the valves closed, the sound should be decently quiet and with the valves open i want it to be aggressive. Looking for a clean sound, with minimal rasp and drone. Here is what I'm doing

Catted downpipes: MAD or Active Autowerke (still undecided)
MAD single midpipes resonated
MAD axle back
