E92 M3 w/DCT + Akrapovic Exhaust + multiple 8600 rpm redlines video

redpriest · 07-14-2015, 05:59 PM

Here's my car - took this video this morning before heading to work. Just love the sound of this exhaust, and love hitting the raised redline over and over.

Wow that sounds so good. Thanks!

I have the exact same setup, all the way down to the CF tips. Sounds great!

sounds awesome. just wish it didn't cost 6k, require warning suppression, and swapping every 2 yrs to pass emissions....

They can be had for $3.5k used, nothing is suppressed other than the CEL associated with the second O2 sensors, and swapping the midpipe is very easy even for the DIY'er.

Funny- was just looking at a used one for... $3.5k! ha tempting

Wish I had more skills and wasn't in a public garage so I could do more DIY.

Can you feel the extra HP? And hows the drone putzing around? The last thing I want to do is put it on and then find out it's too much for me...

I've got the same setup. No drone. I had a Dinan setup previously, which had awful drone.

The HP is absolutely noticeable between the exhaust + the tune.

Bought mine used, 3500. It has a bassy tone < 2-3k rpm that sort of rumbles, but it isn't a displeasing or hammering sensation. See here in this thread for some other subjective thoughts from other people:

I haven't experienced a really bad drony exhaust before so I don't really have a frame of reference to tell you. What I can tell you though, is that it sounds amazing at all RPMs. I roll down the windows just to hear it.

I do definitely notice a hp gain from stock, especially with the tune. You have more pull from 3-4k RPM on up and it gets more and more pronounced towards the top of the range. I have wheel chirp at the top of first and second where I didn't have before.
