Similar to its predecessor, the S55 in the F8x, the S58 in the current generation still leaves room for improvement. While the stock sounds are a step up from the previous generation, they still have an excess of raspiness that fails to convey the refined aggression inherent to the brand's signature performance models.

The larger piping diverges into multiple paths as it app
