Also it will be slightly raspy @ low speed + high RPM but not as much as stock S54s or catless header.
If I were you, as many in Europe do, pick up SS section 1, lose the PE and place 135i stock muffler in place.
Now the above combo is what I would say the best sounding exhaust setup for N52 you will find. It sounds extremely good at high RPM (More of e36 m3 full supersprint race setup type of sound) it will pop/crackle, no problem. But at cruising speed, sounds like PE, maybe slightly louder.

I could not have asked for a better answer! Thank you!
I've also read that the Section 1 + Section 2 SS pieces and a 135i exhaust is one of the best. I had the Section 2 + 135i exhaust previously, sounded great but was just too quiet (overall sound was better than my Section 2 + PE though). I'll post back on whatever I decide to do.
