Exclamation Exhaust Advice needed!

I am wondering what i should do.

I wired the flaps open on my comp pack exhaust and the car sounds pretty mean and bangs/pops! Pretty good on downshifts too

I just got sent an offer from my dealer for an M perf exhaust (akra) for a really good price.

Here is my question: Is it worth upgrading to the MPE over my current setup? Will i notice a justifiable difference?

What can you guys recommend/advice?

Thanks,

Nick

AKRA is great, no doubt.

But comp package exhaust with open flaps sounds very good in my opinion.
For this very reason I decided not to go with Akra.

There are many sound clips on this very forum and even a thread about true akra ... I also have the supersprint catless down pipes in so have more of a turbo spool sound as well.

The sound is no V10 of the last generation, but it is very intoxicating ... So much so that I never have the B&O on, and there is no drone


You will love it. And if you have a deal on the system you are going to be even happier!

The system is a straight through system!

Thank you so much for the help! I will see if there is some free cash floating about in the company to "invest" hahaha

I just got a call from my local detailing/wrapping car place and they said they are starting to distribute IPE exhaust so will see what they offer in terms of price!

I have the RPi exhaust. No resonators and no mufflers. Sounds great!

Yeah i saw some videos of an m5 with an rpi cruising about london and it sounded like the devil!
