First Installed Akrapovic Titanium Exhaust M5 in the US!

Finally got a chance to pick up the beast today and wow what a difference! This is how the car should have came from factory IMO!

I believe this is the first full front to back unit to be delivered and installed in the US. Someone had received there's a few days before mine but with no exhaust tips.

Special thanks to Tag Motorsports for getting this on priority and Eurotech Motorsports for performing the install!

Link below showing some rev's with valves closed and open. Video does this no justice... ridiculous in person!

Haha maybe just a little. Its crazy how I can hear it inside the cabin considering how well insulated it is.

I snapped some video's on my way back from the shop on my IG stories.

Ps. I thought I was getting pulled over because a cop on foot popped up out of no where but he was just stopping me to let an ambulance go by.

Congratulations, how long was the installation and did it come
With the phone app to control noise. Or just open and close with exhaust button from bmw in the car?
Thank you

Thanks! The install is quoted to be 2.5-3 hours by Akra. I had multiple things done on the car so didn't visually see exactly how long the tech took but thats the typical quote. It took about 2.5 hours on my RS7 Akra install as well and I was under the car on that one.

I didn't buy the sound kit because the exhaust can be connected to the exhaust valve control button within the cars center console.

If you look at the video, the first couple rev's were with the valves closed, I opened them via the center console button and then rev'd with them open.
