New M3! Advice please

Active · 07-15-2013, 06:45 AM

Hi all,

Need some advice please. Picked up my new M3 two weeks ago and ordered the Akrapovic Evolution with the CF tips. Should I install the system before the first service or hold off until the car has had its service?

After the first break in service

Im no expert but got mine installed after 1200 miles service

I would also say hold off until after 1200 mile service just to be on the safe side not being OEM.

no techinical issues with installing it at any time. It all depends on how mod friendly your dealer is.

I installed mine the first day i picked up my car, but Mdosu is right. It all depends on the dealership.

I agree with 2K12, it depends on the dealer. I would install it right away but thats my opinion.

Brake that thing in First, whats the point of the exhaust before the brake in period, you cant get on it any way, just my opinion.
