Exhaust Choice

Going through the winter madness upgrades, coil overs, Intercooler, and the exhaust choice is driving me nuts. There seems to enough info on R56 but a shortage on our R57.
Who is running what and does anyone have a recommendation without killing the bank account. I want avoid any highway droning as we travel a lot in ours but I do want a sportier sound to our OEM S Exhaust even with the resonator delete.

The only exhaust 100% that will fit and clear the cabrio R57 under braces is the Akrapovic. It does cost more, but well worth it to have a perfect fit with no rattles and no drone, plus sexy carbon tips.

Otherwise you can fit the R56 systems but most the time you have to either space out or remove the extra braces the cabrio has that cross the exhaust.
