Also its not very clear is the ARMYTRYX system drone? And does it work with OEM valve actuators through M buttons or it only works by a separate remote?

in my opinion, the REMUS is the most balanced exhaust with an aggressive tone and no drone.

Akrapovic is an excellent option but needs a larger budget.

Dinan/Valvetronic are good options as well for a reasonable price.

Armytrix in my opinion is too aggressive and will drone

Mike,

I've ordered the Remus axleback system from your site. There is a shortage of the carbon tips. I'm looking to see if I can get some carbon/black tips from somewhere else. Do you know by chance what the diameter on the Remus inlet pipe where the tips attaché to the piping? I know that the piping itself is 84mm but it tapers down to a smaller diameter where tips attach. You can see it in the photos.

The stock OEM piping is 80mm and tapers down to 76mm. All 3rd parry OEM replacement tips are 76mm, and in product description on your Remus page it says the OEM piping is 80mm, hence the 80mm to 76mm taper. But I can't find anywhere what the Remus 84mm tapers down to.

Would you or anyone know of any tips that would fit a Remus exhaust or have options in choosing different diameters. I'd rather not have the chrome tips?

Unfortunately, REMUS does not provide the specs. I recommend you check with other forum members that have this exhaust.

Pardon my ignorance but what is drone?

So for the AWE Track Edition exhaust, what muffler will I need to avoid the drone?

Dinan or wait for the MAD new exhaust, we heard really good feedback from the early testers

MAD catback exhaust has no drone issue?

I’ve heard a shit ton of exhaust setups on the f90 and in my opinion, this is the best sound you can possibly get:

Catless secondaries
Dinan (or any other) X pipe
Awe track axle back (or any straight pipe)

The x pipe changes the sound by a good amount. Gives the car a high pitch and deep rumble at the same time.

It’s an easy custom setup for any qualified muffler shop. Or just do what I did and get the Dinan x pipe and awe axle back with MAD catless secondary downpipes. Here’s what it sounds like
