x5 40i performance muffler

just picked up a 2019 x5, am a bit disappointed in the sound, when its cold and starts it sounds pretty good, but after it warms up its as quiet as a church. Without going to a dinan or catback can a better muffler make it sound well, better? I looked and the muffler on the thing is huge, so Im thinking smaller muffler more sound, but I dont want it to sound like a Honda either.

Does your car have an exhaust flap like the 35i does? I use bimmerlink to keep mine open. It's night and day. I do say back to auto for long drives turns out hearing the exhaust note for 5-6 hours straight is not as fun as the first few minutes.

Two revs. First flap closed, second flap opened. Same RPM.
