I have the E/Race with AA test pipe plus evolve stage 2 tune. Before the TP, I also didn't think it was as loud as what others said but didn't really enjoy the drone the axleback only set up was producing. After the TP and tune, very little drone which I actually happen to love! Also, not sure if the tune has anything to do with this, but I do get more pronounced rumbling right after up-shifting and aggressive rev-matching bark when down shifting; both when the shifting happens around 3.5k rpm. In short, it's a music to my ears!!! BTW, very little smell but nothing unmanageable even in my E93 with the top down.

It's a very classy sound. Like I said above, the note of the E race is awesome. But yes, hah I suppose I would like a little louder setup. I just thought it was odd I couldn't find any reviews of the race being quiet, just loads of people saying the sport is too quiet.
But this thread has been helpful seeing others with the same experience. And obviously it's all subjective. I know several purists who think oem exhaust is perfect. And honestly it probably is, but I just want a little more boom but nothing obnoxious. So my test pipe is going in after this track weekend, and I'm stoked to hear/feel the difference.
