Question Akropovic Slip On

Greatest gift this country can offer is the freedom of speech and the freedom of choice so let's hear all the pros & cons on this exhaust system. This is by no mean a thread for debate but just your honest opinion.

Thanks

started with akra slip on (as was afraid of the exhaust being too loud) and eventually upgraded to the full evo - the evo is a must - engine feels great, the note is awesome. in the lower rev ranges, no louder than stock. thing only screams when you hit 6k+. zero complaints on my end . . .

Its light and looks good, it's over priced and adds no performance gains other than weight, the sound is deeper but not much different than stock.

All those being true, I like mine because the aesthetics for me were big, I do not like the look of the stock exhaust, especially because I have eliminated all of the chrome on my car. I enjoy the sound, mine is paired with acm test pipes and sometimes I wish it were louder, but mostly I am happy with the sound

Needs to be paired with the GT4 X Pipe for the best experience in my opinion

Shoot me a pm for more info!

Those are cool vids but unfortunately do the GT4 no justice whatsoever. You have to go to a race track and stand outside an M3 with GT4 blasting past you to experience the uniqueness, refinement and aural pleasure of this incredible system.

I definitely agree with you.

The Akra GT4 is by far the best sound I've heard on the E9X

Here's our track E92M3 on Las Vegas Speedway, equipped with Akrapovic.



Been running Akrapovic since day one.
