How to tell difference between E90&92 version of Akra
Hi,
I am just wondering if there is a way to differentiate the akra evo exhaust for the e90 and e92 version. I understand there is a code on both the muffler and the tips. The one I see is M-BME92H. I just want to know if anyone can confirm if this one is the E92 Coupe version. Thanks!! |

I bought my setup used, it was supposed to be for an E90. My slip-on shipped in the original box which states it is for an E90.
Once installed, my tips stick out kind of far, which made me think it was possibly mislabeled. My mufflers have M-BME92H [e1] 0310547 stamp on them. My tips are carbon fiber and don't have any stamp on them (at least not without removing them) |

OP, yes, that is the proper E93 slip-on from Akra. I have attached the parts diagram from the Arka website and it shows the muffler part # as M-BME92H. The tailpipe part number is TP-BME92H.
As for tjsabec, it does appear you have the E92 slip-on based on the part number provided. There is a separate document on the Arka website showing the E90 muffler as M-BME90H...

I believe Akra changed the product number over time. Nowadays the mufflers are differentiated E90 and E92...it used to say E92 for both M3 models, the difference being the length at the tips if I remember correctly. I have the Evo under my M, and the mufflers say E92H.

My mufflers have the same part number and the exhaust was purchased new. I can confirm that is the e90 part number.

The part numbers are exactly the same. There is no difference on the can to make sence of what is what. The only way to tell is to measure the outlet pipe off the muffler. I dont have the exact dimension with me but the e92 is 1.5" longer.

I am working on it. Trying to get one for our next drive. Seems te e90 guys cant give them away but he e92 used ones are almost the price as a new one. I have the test pipes with megan now, as the muffler ages it is getting pretty raspy

I have the Megan with TP's too... and changing to MRF so I think I will need to go Akra at some point as well. I have about 8k miles on my Megan and it sounds great, only a little bit of rasp at 4k but then its gone. How many do you have on yours? I probably only have heard my car from the outside like twice for very brief moments.
