Akrapovic Exhaust Sound kit

Goranot · 05-30-2017, 08:22 PM

Took the plunge and decided to go for an Akrapovic Exhaust

Currently have straight pipes throughout ..no backboxes and no resonators
Downpipes have been replaced with catless super sprint downpipes..

Sound is loud very loud but get the odd comment of it sounding like a truck..:-(

Hence got akrapovic exhaust ..came available at reasonable price

1- Will I notice a considerable noticeable difference in the quality of the sound?

Will it still be as loud?

2- Have only the exhaust in 3 sections but no installation kit ..clamps..rubbers and vacuum line hose clips

Anyone can advise if I can use alternatives and what size or where can I get Installation kit from..especially the vacuum hose clips..

3- Do Akrapovic do a sound kit compatible with the F10 M5 exhaust and is it worth the $400-$500 or is there a cheaper better alternative like the Awron that is compatible?

Once again really appreciate any advise and help..:-)

Akra met the European noise requirement, so no, it won't be as loud as your original setup.

Anyone had a sound kit fitted?

Is there such a kit for the F10 M5
