Akrapovic exhaust
I was looking into ordering an M4 but my gripe and deal breaker is the sound. It sounds horrible.
The akra exhaust makes it the way it should be but does anyone else think 4.5k for a catback is a bit excessive? http://www.tagmotorsports.com/akrapo...-f80-m3-f82-m4 I mean the previous generation one was like 3000-3500 wasn't it? |

E92 Evo system was $6500. New one for F82 is $6700. (you'd have to tack on a diffuser to get it to 8k) Compare that to some of the other titanium options and look at the quality and engineering... Works with the OEM valves too. Sounds amazing. I will be sharing some media of mine soon.

Well I'm not looking at the whole exhaust because then you lose the cats. But just for the catback or previous models would call it the slip on. I can find e92 slip on evo akrapovic for 3500. Hennessy has it cheaper than that even.

The street systems will be a bit more subtle with the secondary cats still in place. The BMW Safety car clips are NOT how it will sound in person, as those systems are catless.

I would assume not. Those cars are worked. I've heard the MotoGP Safety cars in person several times and you can't replicate those sounds.

Akrapovic exhausts are always expensive but worth it.

Truth! I made the mistake of not waiting for them to release their E92 exhaust and opted for the AC Schnitzer exhaust instead. While I loved my ACS exhaust, I would've rather had the Akrapovic since I have used them on my bikes for ages and they are the best by far. Won't make the same mistake again.

Rockville dealer has an M4. I drove it. It sounds like ass. Everything else is leaps and bounds better than the previous M3 which I had major issue with except the sound. There are more than 2 in the USA go look on autotrader and cars.com.

2. I've heard the Akra IRL since I live down the street from TAG and HRE. It sounded amazing, but too pricey for me. 3. I know of many companies who have aftermarket solutions in the works. I wouldnt let the sound worry you whatsoever.

Personally, I think stock for stock it sounds better than the E92. The E92 was a lawnmower from the factory. You HAD to put an exhaust on the E92 to hear anything and then it really came alive and gave us the sound we all loved.
