I prefer the Remus or Dinan paired to the active because the sound is not "too deep" the bass can definitely pass for drone on the full active if your ears are sensitive to that tone/sound.

Between the Remus and Dinan with active, I think the Dinan is louder between those two because the Dinan muffler is a small piece with an h pipe in the center of it.

Overall, I really think the Remus with AA is a major winner. The quality and sound just can't be beat. Especially with the price point in comparison to say Akrapovic or Eisenmann....!

I was going to go further in depth regarding quality and installation but it doesn't have much to do with the main question
It would be nice to have a sound clip of the two options. Do you know if the VRSF downpipe make a difference sound wise when paired with the AA sig?

The other option I'm looking at is the Eisenmann race. Unfortunately I haven't come across any sound clips.
Adding downpipes in general will make a significant difference, especially if rasp is a factor

By adding more flow, you're adding more of the natural characteristic of all BMW engines, which is rasp.

If you want to avoid rasp then I wouldn't touch the dp.

If you're looking for power and minimal rasp then anything featuring a single mid pipe design will solve the problem.

The closest clips will be those found on the m3/4





These videos below of the exact exhaust (active with vrsf) is not bad either



I also had a video before adding Downpipes.



The AA setup is definitely deep tones on lower rpm range but as soon as you are WOT and above 5k it scream until redline.

The Downpipes just increased the sound overall didn't add any rasp to the setup.

Stock vs stock the M2 Competition vs an M3/M4 sounds different. The M2C has a deeper sound in stock form than other S55's
