Any alternative to M performance exhaust?

For a xdrive40i, the performance exhaust is like 3 grand. Which seems ludicrous for just noise upgrade. Any other cheaper kit options recommended to look at instead? Thanks

Have the exhaust valve set to always open, will make the sound more aggressive. Search the forum to find the procedure.

I did noticed when I have the valves to stay open, low end power struggles a bit. Anyone else having that issue?

M performance is the cheapest and best sounding.
You can always buy the digital sport sound from bmw for $100. Satisfied my craving for more sound.
