BMW s63tu vs n63tu exhaust sound.

I have only owned a BMW for about a year and idk if anyone ever started a discussion or even cared about it but my straight piped f12 650i sounds worlds better than my buddy's $7000-8000 crazy expensive exhaust modded m6 (my opinion). i am sure it has something to do with the s63 manifolds being reversed (even different from the n63 reversed manifolds) to keep pressure for the turbo available but i hate the sound. i was thinking of going to a m6 later on but cant get pass the v10 or v12 sound it makes so i am thinking of doing a engine rebuild with stronger parts and stage 2 or 3 turbos to make about the same power as a modded m6. should be a lot cheaper too. the m6 may sound wonderful to some but i prefer my LOUD AND DEEP BIG BLOCK CHEVY RUMBLE FALLOWED BY THAT TRACTOR TURBO WHISTLE any day.

I think the crossbank manifold ruins the sound as well, the s63 doesn't really sound like a V8 at all.

The crossbank manifold obviously improves spool - but it makes it sound more like an angry 4 cylinder (it reminds me of the CLA45 and A45 actually) than any other engine, people often compare it to a V10, V12 and I thought it would sound like a flatplane V8 actually but it definitely sounds like an A45 to me. I don't see that there is a way to fix it, you can make it louder but it will still be the same weird sound.

Sounds angry! Are you running down pipes? Is it muffler delete and resonator/xpipe delete as well? It sounds like both pipes are just straight out, but I'm not sure...
