No. Here in South Africa Akra, besides Schnitzer is the only aftermarket product that does not void motorplan, approved parts so to say. The dealer says that BMW sees both companies as an official partner/product.

Not as fun as Chris Harris's job lol

You didn't need to add the 's to the proper noun of Harris; Harris' is the correct format since you are referring to a proper noun.

I was able to test drive an M4 back in June and was impressed by the performance from the engine. Definitely made up for the negatives of the S65. Having said that, the sound was a considerable let down coming from my CSL and previous Akra equipped e92 M3. I only spent two hours in it, but the motor lacked the character of the older M3s.

I'll probably own an F80 m3 at some point down the line, so I'm looking forward to hearing Akra's new system.

Have you taken delivery of the new M3 yet? Interested to hear if you take it to H2R and how it compares to the e90 M3. Irrelevant given the Porsches you have, but what the hell.

Hearing the Akra system on your old car at Harris Hill convinced me to buy one.

What are everyone thoughts/insight/opinions, as to if it will maintain the OEM functionality of being able to switch between comfort/sport/sport plus, being able to quiet it down or open it up, upon by switching between them? Or if this exhaust will eliminate those flanges all together?

Not yet! It's at VPC after ED so not far off now. But it will go to the track, easiest place to get to know the driving dynamics quickly and get comfortable with pushing the car so I don't get surprised on the street. It's going to take more commitment to the throttle, unlike how the S65 made power with a longer wind up.

best exhaust hands down, Too bad the new M sounds the way it does.
