Exhaust Advice/Recommendations for N26, no other mods

Have had my 228i M Sport for the past month or so now and loving every minute I'm behind the wheel! Well, except when I'm in bumper-to-bumper rush hour traffic. Anyways, it being my daily driver and all, the only real mod I've been wanting to do on it is a new exhaust. Just looking for something a little more aggressive. Besides that and maybe cosmetic mods, I'm not really looking to tune it (yet). So is it worth just upgrading the exhaust?

Was looking into the Dinan free flow exhaust or MPE but other recommendations welcome. Note that I am from Canada (GTA) so I'm also open to other brands and any shops, mechanics, or services that you guys recommend.

Thanks.

The Dinan FreeFlow is a really good exhaust. Really nice tone, raucous under heavy throttle, civilised otherwise, sounds good when you start it up, too. Adds 5 HP!

It all comes down to price in my opinion. I run an Active Autowerks Signature muffler and love it. Didn't want anything too loud as my top is down anytime it's not raining, and I didn't want the thing to always be in my face.

What did you do with the solenoid valve that's on the OEM exhaust?

I am also looking at getting an exhaust, and I am leaning towards the MPE. Just like to keep it OEM.

I have the solenoid in a box, taped up the wires out of the way.

Listened to the AA exhaust again. I like it.
