Akrapovic or Fi? Or Should I go MPE
Hi guys,
I'm getting my M4 dilevered hopefully by the end of the week. Excited and I am about to order an exhaust system and stuck between the three choices I have in mind. 1. Fi Exhaust 2. Akra 3. M Performance exhaust If anyone on the forum got any of the three or heard them in real life please share with us your thoughts. -Which sounds the best? -How are they on comfort/efficient? Can they be as quiet as stock? -Which sounds best IRL on sport mode/valves open. - Is anyone facing any issues with any of them? Last edited by f82R; 04-04-2015 at 04:40 PM.. |

MPE has the best tone. Akra is loud, but just noisy. Maybe in person is totally different.

That Akra sound clip had catless down pipes.
That is something to keep in mind. Are you just replacing the rear muffler alone ? Replacing center section and replacing catalytic convertors ? It is nice we have a lot of options but have some decision's to be made |

Heard the MPE in person and it is one of the best noises I have ever heard from a straight 6. It is godly with an amazing exotic tone to it. Nothing else is like it

Problem is with MPE vs Akra, I live in Dubai, AE and BMW dealer sells MPE for 6500$ more or less. Which means fairly same cost of Akra Evo system. If it was for just 4600 same as US store prices would be a bargain.

I honestly believe that most of us have an innate desire for what is now referred to as "rice." Do you know what I'm talking about?
the big wing, hella-flush, stickers all over the car, super loud and raspy exhausts I get it. I have some of it inside of me too. I believe we must fight that desire and stick to the basics. My initial reaction to the super buzzy, raspy sound the S55 makes with downpipes and some aftermarket exhausts is, rice. |

I haven't watched the MotoGP clip of the MPE in a while, but hearing it now, I think it sounds great. Compared to the Akra in this vid, I much prefer the MPE. Maybe MPE with DP's is the best sound for this car... |

Our exhaust sounds really good in real life no matter which brand you go with. I would save the money and just get DPs + JB4. Stock exhaust sounds great with DPs in sport mode/valve mod.

You have no idea what you're talking about: First insinuating that everyone wants "big wing blahblah..." Then in your estimation that the car sounds "rice".... I say wrong on both counts as I don't want all that F&F crap unless it's funtional and the exhaust is producing a sound that's pleasing on a highly rated sports car.....that does not in any way represent rice. Rice is what you do to a car like a Toyota Corolla, add some canards, a wing, and an exhaust meanwhile you're still only pushing 128hp and 0-6 in 8 seconds, plus fail wheel drive, that's "rice". But if you believe you're M3 is rice then by all means, rice away. |
