F10 M5 Borla S-Type Catback Exhaust Revs
I had the Akra M-Performance on my car when I bought it, but the sound was just too quiet/stock like, so I sold that and couldn't justify spending $4k+ on RPI/Meisterschaft/etc. Ended up finding a killer deal on a brand new Borla S-Type Catback.
Attached vid is of the Borla exhaust on my car. Not even broken in yet, has maybe 75-100 miles on it. Overall, I'd say sound wise the Akra was maybe a 3/10, and this is about a 5/10 (loudness scale, 10 being straightpipes, 1 being 1 being OEM exhaust). I think paired with the catless downpipes, this Borla will make for an extroardinary smooth yet aggressive sound. It sounds very exotic like throughout the RPM ranges, and absolutely ZERO drone at all times. This is with stock downpipes, I will be installing catless downpipes this weekend and will take another video. Enjoy!

Do they stick out like everyone else's exhausts? That's the thing getting me right now is for some reason every exhaust looks like it sticks out an inch past the bumper.

No, if I pushed the exhaust all the way in, they would sit well inside the bumper, probably 3-4" inside of the bumper. I pulled the rear axleback portion outward some after tightening down the rest of the system, so it lines up with the rear bumper perfectly.

Thanks man! I really think it does, and am super excited to hear it with catless downpipes. It's got a very refined sound, it is very similar to Akra sound that my car had, except with just a bit more bass/deeper, and more noise (probably due to not having a resonator, only an x-pipe with rear mufflers).

This is a 4" tip. Loved it. Filled in the rear nicely.

Ended up gutting the OEM downpipes, here are some revs with the OEM catless downpipes and the Borla:

Sounds really nice! Mind spending some time this wknd to post up a few drive by videos? Also, where did you get the exhaust from? Looks like it's selling for $3400 online vs. $3600 for E-race, so I'm assuming you got a great deal from a specific seller?

Sounds nice!
I am surprised by how many don't like the Akrapovic system. On the 2 wheel side of things they are usually well loved! Have a full system on my BMW G450X and love it! Matt
