If I can ever find time and have a continuing desire, I will try to figure out how the system works. There has to be something to increase/decrease the loudness of the exhaust, unless the MMI setting is a total farce.

You can certainly hear a difference in tone/volume at idle as you roll the windows up and down. Once the windows get down to half-way, the exhaust gets louder. This may be a combination of both the noise cancellation and exhaust flap, or just the noise cancellation.

I think this is the best sounding/looking S6 exhaust available...But I wish there were good pictures of both the diamond black tips and chrome tips. I have a glacier white S6 and just can't decide one way or another.

Really depends on the look you're going for. I have everything blacked out on my glacier white so I love the black tips. If you keep the stock wheels and such go with the chrome.

I was going to lightly smoke head and tail lights, paint roof black, maybe powder coat the stock 20" wheels gloss black or gloss gunmetal. Leaning towards gunmetal. I'm just afraid of going all in and blacking everything out...SO much aluminum trim!...Grill, pieces by the radar, Door Handles, badging, window trim, etc etc. Does the diamond black tip look dirty or do they have a nice polished shine that stands out? It's hard to tell by the 4 pics I can see. I feel like my chrome tips look black like that if I don't clean them. hah I wonder why they don't offer titanium tips as they have with other exhausts...Doubt I would go that route, but it should still be an option!
