So are there any? I just bought a stock OEM muffler; hopefully it is quiet enough. Meister shaft drones on the highway.

I have an original single can Bastuk exhaust in my storage unit that gives a little burble down low, but was too quiet for me above 4,000.
The dealer service guys loved it since it wasn't super loud but louder than stock.

(13 years!) I just put on MPE and it's pretty quiet. No drone. It should get a little louder as it ages. This is exactly what I was looking for when I made the purchase.

I had the Evolve E-tronic valved exhaust and with the valves closed, with stock x-pipe, it was louder than stock. It sounded awesome. Loved it with the valves open. I searched hi and low for a valved exhaust before I settled on the Evolve and IMO, no valved exhaust will be the same or quieter than stock.

I cant even remember what stock sounds like! Its been so long. I cant imagine changing exhaust for any other reason than to go louder.

My E93 has a Supersprint Race (one can per side) and it does drone a lot when top is down and windows up. Since I'm looking to go with test pipes, I need a quieter back box or exhaust. Rasp is a big no-no.

I've spent like 10 hours last week, scrolling and listening to different exhausts on Youtube.

Quietest and rasp free with test pipes:
Akrapovic
Megan Racing
Eisenmann Sport
Milltek (propably a bit louder than above three)
Scorpion (I'd rate it the same as Milltek)

I had settled for the Megan racing, but then realised it does not fit the E93... bugger.
Akra and Eisenmann are very expensive in comparison to the Megan and the Milltek.

Why wouldn't Megan Racing not fit E93?
