Looking for peoples experiences with AC Schnitzer exhaust?

I'm almost on my last straw dealing with my AC Schnitzer parts (catback exhaust rattle and rear diffuser garbage fitment).

Every once in a while I get a rattle telling me it's time to loosen and reposition the pipes up and away from the metal tunnel brace on my M550i. How the hell does a $3-4000 exhaust system have this issue? Is ACS a bottom of the budget company for BMW aftermarket parts?

I'm with you...

I tried an ACS axle back exhaust on my 2018 X5 xDrive35i and ended up selling it after about 2 months. Sounded great in Sport mode, but droned in Comfort and ECO PRO modes. Also, the ACS exhaust tip fitment with the BMW factory exhaust openings wasn’t as good as it should have been. All-in-all, it ended up being a somewhat costly ACS experiment.

I'm fine with the performance of the exhaust but just have issues with the fit and finish of the pipes. It's basically a straight pipe when I'm in sport+ and would sound even better if someone would make downpipes for the M550i...

I have the exhaust for over a year and no issues at all. Install went smooth without any surprises. No drone in comfort or sport mode . It sounds great overall.
Did you install it yourself ?

yes, followed the directions and used all necessary tools. It just seems like the passenger sides pipe doesn't want to keep away from the tunnel brace.
