Yes, tin can noise if you are under 50% throttle under 3 k rpm with catless, but anything else sounds mental.
With the standard exhaust, if you did wot in neutral, and let it go at 3k rpm it would make that god awful s55 sound, it was not pleasant. Why didn't bmw atleast try to improve it? We will never know, since the new s58 sounds better. Bmw answer is just buy the performance version in Titanium... yes we don't need more of that sound. Proof with the sounds my car makes. The volume is a louder, and louder than a straightpiped n55. https://youtu.be/WK3xD922SSo?t=34 https://youtu.be/TD1XoCj549I?t=1420 |

Has anyone tried any fixes for this yet? Assuming there's no mechanical contact causing the vibration, it could be a bad resonance. Something as simple as strapping a steel bar to one of the pipes using hose clamps could work. Or a real damper like this:

i installed my AA EL 2 days ago, the sound while driving is awesome.
However i keep getting this vibration coming from the shifter area upon cold starts or possibly even warm starts that persists for around 15 seconds. Its an actual vibration that can be felt under the shifter area (DCT) Is this the 2k rpm issue everyone is talking about? Yes, all hangers, bolts, nuts were checked, all tight.

This. Same thing happened after my install, but was remedied in 5 minutes on the lift.

Yeah I got a shop to take the old off and replace, but I wasnt gonna pay them for their time adjusting. I think I got the axleback and connecting pipes set properly, the EL midpipe seems to grow more on the long side when warmed up. It was making the exhaust tips offset from center.

Vibration has to be something on something.. check your clearances and fitment. Every case of this I have seen I have solved with fitment changes.

You are going to love it. I have it paired to the akra rear and I have to say it was a major upgrade over stock. Cold start isn't great as previously mentioned in this thread, but IMO the trade off is worth it for spirited driving! Mine is resonated though. I hope to see you at an event. I only went to the griot's garage M meet in September so far. |

I have the stock muffler (non M Performance) and have both resonated and non resonated ABs coming to test both. I want the best sound and will return the ones I dont use. 8)

I currently have the AA EL res matched to a Remus Sport, but am contemplating going that route.

Have just trawled through this entire thread as I have an issue with my setup
AA EL (non res) have used it both with stock muffler and a Remus Race. Both set ups sound RIDICULOUS on cold start, both sound almost identical with the Remus being noticeably louder. They both rattle like **** on cold start but once warmed up this noise is no longer present. I have to say either set up sounds amazing on the move and is by far the best sounding S55 I’ve heard, I also detest the ball sack/cow udder OEM muffler so an aftermarket solution had to be found. The Remus is too loud for me and I am trying an Eisenmann next and hoping it’s more akin to the OEM muffler in volume (at least on cold start) All of this aside (I love the AA EL sound) my issue is with clearance as I get rubbing against the heatshield, it’s SO tight under there and my mechanic can’t see anyway of adjusting any of this. I get a rubbing sound at low rpm on idle and at low revs when pulling away from a standstill as well as cornering (at low rpms), all refinement is gone with this noise and it’s really irritating me now. I did read somewhere that AA mentioned something about a floating flange needing to be tightened first (left pipe I believe) but I can’t see how that would make any difference? We are fitting the Eisenmann tomorrow and are removing and refitting the AA EL again and will try the left pipe with FF first to see if that helps. I have a couple of start up videos I will upload for the OEM/AA EL and the Remus Race/AA EL if anyone is interested. Will of course take one with the Eisenmann too (I’m hoping the latter is the sweet spot in both volume and looks!) |

Refinement is back, no more rubbing! Oh, and the Eisenmann is phenomenal. Cold start is wayyy more toned down with only the initial start up bark being loud for a split second. The Eisenmann is great, super quiet with valves closed and car sounds like a normal 6cyl BMW. With valves open it only really makes any noise when you are under load and then it barks loud. Great combination with the AA EL. Very pleased. The only negative is the tail pipes sit relatively low but I can live with that when the exhaust sounds this good.
