The videos floating around really don't do this exhaust justice. The exhaust is perfect for daily driving. It's just loud enough to where it's not too quiet and it's not ear-shattering. The tone of the exhaust is smooth yet aggressive. Cold starts are brutal. There's a subtle but noticeable difference inside the cabin in terms of noise volume, however there is absolutely no drone. Haven't heard the car from outside the cabin but my friend with an E92 335i w/ MPE said it overpowered his exhaust and radio. Where this exhaust shines is in the overrun on throttle liftoff. The pops, bangs, and burbles are insane. I'd say they're better than what you get with the MPPSK, and the full AWE system is half the price. As someone who had trouble deciding between the exhausts you mentioned, I 100% recommend the AWE Tuning exhaust. Don't regret my purchase at all.
TL;DR: Get the AWE Tuning exhaust.

Thats probably the best description of an exhaust system I've ever read. You basically have me sold haha. I'm a little concerned about the loud cold starts when I'm at the office but at the end of the day, I work hard and cars are what I like so I'm not going to worry about it. I'm still waiting until they become available so I'll just try to hear one in person before then. If not, between you and Mike's feedback I'm sure I'll be very pleased with AWE's setup.
