Default Best Sounding Exhaust?

Found this while house keeping data storage. My old PF S8 on the Nurburgring. I miss that car!

You need sound!

Ooh I like that! Thats a much deeper tone than I usually hear from D2s, almost like an AMG sort of sound.

Never put it on car and no longer have D2 but still have exhaust.

Ooooh, interesting! says Johnny quattro.

Perhaps a tad raucous for my A8L but on a connected theme, has anyone here on the A8 forum fitted a throaty exhaust (Magnaflow et al.) but with some electronics to control valves that make the exhaust quieter or louder?

I have a request to do that, but haven't had a chance yet. Probably a project for '21.
