There are no install instructions or packing list, so I don't have a reference to check against.

Yes clams should have come with the exhaust !
Call your supplier / AA to get free shipping them to you.
As for the instructions, not mandatory just make sure to use the blue foam as a spacer between the F bracket to the midpipe and most important to have at least 2-3 cm clearance throughout the midpipe and car components, so no rubbing will occur when driving on bad road.

Enjoyyyyy

Had mine installed last night with the single mid-pipe. Sounds amazing. I can actually hear it inside the car now! Has a deeper rumble, less rasp, and no drone.

Mine also did not come with the clamshell mounts. Bought some BMW ones...

Was surprised this was the case.

Glad you like it

Please post a video

Does anyone have this with the OEM mid section?

I was planning on ordering just the EL resonated midpipe, since I have catless DPs, and keeping the OEM muffler. When I saw the EL midpipe wasn't going to be available until later in May I just ordered this instead.

If you do, how is the sound? Thanks!

Doesn't look like anyone has this setup. My exhaust was delivered today, being installed tomorrow. I'll let you all know how it sounds.

I made a couple of videos but didn't post because they don't sound anything like it does in person. I'll see if I can get some better ones.

Please post it when you have time. I cannot find the sound clip of this setup (AA single midpipe+Valved Axleback)anywhere on the internet.

I had the same problem with the shop's car, the only time it sounded close to in-person is when we used a professional camera during one of our videos.

Yep, same thing. iPhone just won't capture the sound.

Got the exhaust installed last Friday. I'm still on OEM midpipe but I have catless DPs.

The new tone is noticeably deeper, especially in the idle range and lower RPMs. The pops are more like bangs now and not so much like firecrackers. It did eliminate some of the rasp but I still have noticeable tin can sounds at 1800-2000 RPM if the car is under light load or stress. I'm hoping that the midpipe will eliminate that. The car sounds amazing at WOT.

Overall I'm happy with the sound. I still think it could afford to be a tad bit louder though.

I agree with you at 1800-2000 RPM under load/ light load there is noticeable irritating WOWOW sounds, when on comfort or sport mode.
My setup includes EL mp, it looks as if it needs some type of resonate

Hope the system sound will not changed after addressing it

So you have the un-resonated MP? I plan on getting the resonated version, since I'm running catless DPs.

True, I am with the non resonated MP.

So AA tells me they will come with the midpipe when it arrives. We shall see. I haven't had an update lately on when the midpipe will ship; it comes with quite different setup for their exhaust versus others.

I bought the carbon fiber tips and the logos have already started to yellow. Scrubbed them pretty good when I washed the car and no change. Anyone else have that problem?

it might be covered under warranty depending on how bad it is, some discoloration is expected from the heat.

I recommend you send pictures of the tips to the manufacturer and see if they are willing to exchange it.

Ok. I'll give them a good cleaning then take some pictures.
