I'll just skip lunch and leave the work bag and umbrella out of the car. Ha, that should about equal the performance gain that exhaust offers, and I'll save the 8 grand.

Civic is a far cry, but not surprisingly it does sound like an N54/N55.
With that said, Akra does make some of the most refined exhaust systems in the industry. Pricey? Sure but onbox one &, see the fit & finish, fitment and you'll see why it is not "$2500"

I heard the Akrapovic exhaust today at M festival from Nurburgring and it was good. I also got to do full throttle on Mperformance car and liked the sound better. I have to post video in separate post to see M4 at full throttle. Here some pics from today.

Catbacks are so easy it's pathetic. It's embarrassing that someone would charge $500 to do an hours worth of work assuming the shop has a lift as well. I know this a BMW site and most if us can swing $500 without batting an eye...but com'n...I hate when people get ripped off!

I have a hard time believing this is just the cat back section. Akra for e9X alone was conservative in terms of volume which this is not and that 7k+ price is literally double of e9X slip on.

Yeah, Akrapovic exhaust system it's when you pay half of the price for a brand and look. But I think it's worth since diffuser and tips look just incredible.

If for europe there are some interested people, I am an Akra dealer and I would propose a group buy, who would be interested?
