Which Akrapovic tips

QuickOne · 01-11-2015, 05:55 PM

I'm considering the Akra exhaust as I like it's throatiness sound without being too obnoxious. However, I'm undecided on which tips would look the best on my Sapphire Black car.

I'm sure you guys have opinions, so let's her them!

CF hands down!

Seanmag · 01-11-2015, 09:33 PM

Agreed - I'd go CF as well.

There are some good photos of CF tips on a black sapphire metallic from the EAS guys posted here (scroll half way down the page...) http://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthr...=958354&page=3

I have the same dilemma but think I'm going with the Ti.

I'll have both tips shortly and will try them both on, I'll post some pics!

I would say go with cf ones, if you got tired of it, it will be easier to find someone to switch with TIs. looks great on a black car, I have the M performance ones with my BSM M5

only pic I have right now is a crappy shot after installation, weather is pretty bad here, so didn't get a chance to clean it up and take good pics. but you can see the contrast if you are worrying about it to be too black. you can also check the pictures from the EAS thread above.

Nice! Those MPE Carbon Tips aren't bad

I'm also not sure which to take for my MC Blue M5, but the Akrapovic CF Tips are my favorite yet.
Are the Tips adjustable in how much they stick out at the back?

They're adjustable so you can make it exactly how you like it.
I have MPE carbon tips on my MCB M5 if you want to look.

I went with the Titanium because from a distance you can tell that you have an aftermarket exhaust. The contrast from stock to Akra is more pronounced with regards to diameter size in Titanium. Just my .02

Oh, and I guess I should mention that I went with the CF tips based on the pics from EAS. I love the subtlety of it.
