Authentic Vorsteiner Type II with Akra

No issues with fitment whatsoever.

^ that looks just about perfect.

I've noticed nearly all e90 akras that show up for sale have some kind of rub marks on the tips from rubbing against the diffuser.

Akra uses 89 or 90mm tips which is really big for our cars. It's bound to rub at some point

I purchased it used from another user on this forum, but plenty of vendors carry them.

EAS for instance: https://europeanautosource.com/vorst...mw-e9x-m3.html

JL Motoring. They're "replica" pieces, but for the money, best option in my opinion.

RKP (Used to be Challenge) GT Carbon Race Diffuser for the E90 M3 will work with that Akrapovic exhaust as well.
