How are you aftermarket exhaust people going to deal with the OEM exhaust sound that is piped in through the speakers??? BMW Active Sound uses OEM exhaust sounds, recorded on a dyno and played through the sound system to give the driver 'accurate simulated sound' of the OEM engine.

Am I just nuts, or is this a reasonable question? If you buy and aftermarket exhaust, and don't shut off the 'Active Sound', you're still hearing piped-in mp3 sound through the car stereo system. Won't you be hearing two different exhaust sounds in the same car? Nobody has said anything about how you can turn this off.

Or do you just say "What the heck, the combo sounds great so we don't care." Crazy.
