Fabspeed sport headers, awe switchpath and straight pipes - so tomb stone and garbage can deletes. I would like to know about what your experience has been in regard to sound, drone, power gain or loss, deafness, neighbors screaming at you at 5am, as you leave for work, little kids either running away or toward the sound, etc. My m5 v10 was straight piped after cats and it was awesome with a little hearing loss. thank you in advance

I can help shed some light on this. I ran side muffler bypass pipes, with stock cats, and center muffler only. The tone was good, but cold start was annoying to my ears.
You're talking about essentially running straight pipes and high flow cats. That leaves no option to quiet the exhaust when you don't want to make noise.
Do you have an "S" or a sport exhaust?
My impression is that with something like the AWE, you can get 95% of the volume without committing yourself to all loud, all the time.
