Exhaust Mod

L1FHR · 04-02-2020, 12:36 AM

My car doesn't have any mods but I eventually want at least an exhaust change.
Car is only 38K miles, I have extended warranty on it for another 4 yrs. I'm not sure if it'll void the warranty. I want a whole system change so it'll be lighter and give more HP.
Which one should I buy?

A. Akrapovic
B. BMW Performance Exhaust
C. GT Haus Titanium GT2
D. Keep it stock

A lot of guys mentioned that exhaust change can void the warranty so i would check with that first. Some claim to have not.

Out of that list "the porridge is just right" option is the akra. You mention "whole exhaust" but the MPE and GT2 only offer cat-back systems.

I didn't know that. I thought they all just like the Akra, which is the whole system. Thanks though good info

Congrats on the low-mileage example. If you end up waiting 4 years for major exhaust work, in the interim you might consider the OEM exhaust mod. It's relatively cheap and you get a pleasant aural upgrade. Plus, if the cutting is done on top, visual detection is unlikely. As far as I can tell, performance boost is zero.

If you go full Akra Evo, you will need a tune to take advantage of being catless.

Maybe go M Performance, or Dinan to keep from voiding your warranty.

Another option is Corsa.
Ive got one on my supercharged m3 and it sounds amazing.
