Louder than Akra and Eisenmann Sport?

Our HFC system is similar in overall volume to Akra IMO. Our catless system has a tad bit more volume at higher RPM's. Both versions were designed to be drone and rasp free.

We are having several made now and we have been taking pre-orders on them. These should be available to ship in the next week or two.

Any idea what decibels are on this exhaust? I'm looking for louder than eisenmann sport but less than race version.

Not at all. Honestly, I call the exhaust, the Akra on a budget or the 'Mini-Akra.' It give you 3/4 of the performance of the akra, with similar tone, similar sound, and volume for 1/2 the price. I love mine.

Then this is not the exhaust for you.

No DB info at this time. It is not as loud as the Eisenmann race.

I have not had the car for a couple weeks. When I get it back I will see if I can arrange it.

This is very good news lol I really think I am going to go this route. I'll start off with the axle back and then add the HFC x-pipe! I see you're in MD..We might have to meet up eventually so I can hear this thing in person lol

L4ces · 07-27-2013, 03:12 PM

I have an AA axle back. Is the full eas louder than the AA axle back?

It's not loud. It just has a deep throaty grumble.

What about the rear section with test pipes? Has that combo been tried out yet? Can it be?

EliteM3 · 07-28-2013, 07:22 PM

Did i read an earlier post right, in that you designed the x-pipe with HFC to eliminate rasp and drone?

Does this mean if I coupled your x-pipe with the oem mod, it wouldn't be obnoxiously raspy?

This has grabbed my interest. Love to hear if this has been done with the ESS xpipe + oem mod.

with dat high flow cats, this sounds reaaaaly nice. always love exhausts in black. Great balance between low end grunt & retaining the m3 vibe
