Thank you for all the replies and voting. The poll results seem to confirm my decision for the new exhaust. Thanks again guys.

I wouldn't want the cold start to be louder, or the highway drone to be any louder. Pops and crackles on a regular basis could be ok, but not something I'd go out of my way to get. The burping you get from full throttle acceleration is not bad.

In my opinion, stock sport exhaust on comp model sounds decent.. not the greatest (say in comparison to some factory AMG sport stuff) but generally what one could expect from a factory vehicle.. this isnt a mclaren, lambo or a rarri where an exotic sound note should be expected.. hence why aftermarket exhausts exist in the first place and it seems you are going that route.
I did not hear a non-comp model in person but i'm almost positive its not at the same decibel as a toyota camry you imply. My F90 M5 was a non-comp and it did not sound like a camry by no means but its what i expected from a factory vehicle.

X6m comp here and the exhaust sounds fantastic. Very deep rumble, high wine as you rev it out and pops/burbles off throttle.
It will never sound like a big displacement v8 but this still sounds fantastic. My gf could hear it coming blocks away. The awful votes are most likely European owner as their exhaust has a gasoline particular filter which neuters the sound. |

Like the folks mentioned above, I was hoping for m5c-like sound. I've got an f80 m3 with M performance exhaust and it's night and day. I honestly feel like the x5 has a particle filter, but it sounds like this is just "normal" for this car.

With the FI exhaust I hear pops on up shifts, never on down shift, and the crackles are more prominent but again no where near a real M comp exhaust. My benchmark is a 2017 M3C with M performance exhaust. |

I think for those wanting pops/crackles we will just all have to wait for some type of tune to come out.. I'll be honest i really miss my F90 with remus that sounded glorious in Sport+ yet completely stock in comfort and no tune!!

Just pulled the trigger on the full Akra setup, with the sound kit and diffuser. Now I need to figure out if I want to upgrade my downpipes too…
