The H&S is a divorced system thus why it sounds as such.

Divorced? I thought it was a h pipe?

Thanks

Negative, separated from birth haha. Sounds mean though. Such a unique tone to this platform.

X-force exhaust and eBay tips, welded the tips on a 2.5" pipe and flanges so it'll replace the mufflers and I can go back and forth from the original muffler or muffler delete with tips incase I want it to be loud or vice versa

In my search for an isf exhaust they all sound pretty bad or uninspiring as they're loud but only have 1 or 2 vocal octaves. I've always thought that a v8 sounded much better than a v6. But then again the c63 and the e90/e92s sound amazing.

The best combo so far is the novel setup and then a novel header paired with a hks SSM.

Greddy Ti - seems really well built but doesn't sound all that great. From the videos I've watched there's no difference in the rpm ranges.

Hayward and Scott sounds good but it may be a little too loud for a daily. Especially paired up with PPE headers.

Please correct me or inform me about these two exhaust as I'm looking to purchase one of them soon as the novel is way out of my price range. 6-7k for the combo I can do but not 13k.

Thanks
Look into Arqray exhaust with EL headers.

That will definitely be a tone we haven't heard before, hopefully for the better. I know LOLM3 has his Novel headers for sale.

x-force exhaust I got from summit racing back in November was $580 shipped, no tax or shipping.
eBay tips was $80. 4ft pipe, flanges and hangers was about another $80, labor was free since a good friend of mine did it for me.

I think this might be the meanest sounding exhaust
