Akrapovic(Downpipe) + Fabspeed x-pipe(Midpipe) + M Performance Exhaust

I really want to know someone tried this combination or can answer me the sound for this combination?

Akrapovic(Downpipe) + Fabspeed x-pipe(Midpipe) + M Performance Exhaust.

I have akrapovic downpipe and JB4 now, but I really want to improve my exhaust sound. I got some irritations below:

1.I don't want to used full akrapovic exhaust beacuse it so common on the street for M cars.
2. I want used M Performance Exhaust because most people told me that it was deeper than akrapovic.
3. I don't like to cut off my stock exhaust so I chosen fabspeed connected M Performance Exhaust.

So, the conclusion is : If I choose Akrapovic(Downpipe) + Fabspeed x-pipe(Midpipe) + M Performance Exhaust, it will very loud and drone? Or quiet in value off?

I need some opinions, please answered me if you know! Thanks.

Akrapovic downpipe:


Fabspeed mid-pipe:


M Performance exhaust:

I have a friend on Instagram that paired a Fabspeed midpipe to the Akra muffler and got rid of the resonator. I don't know if he has downpipes but his system sounded really good.

Here is his Instagram

I would say if anything, Akrapovic is more rare than MPE

I've run AA downpipes with an MPE and I ran a Fabspeed mid plus MPE but never all 3 at once. I would guess it'd be super duper loud and raspy as someone already said.

With just AA downpipes and MPE, the system got pretty damn loud, especially burbles were just plain crazy. We're talking warzone gunfire.

So the best method to solved raspy/drone while using MPE rear and Akra downpipe, it is connecting stock mid-pipe?
Or can I using Akrapovic Evo mid-pipe to connect MPE ?

There are other ways of affecting exhaust tone such as x-pipes and mufflers. I don't have downpipes so I can't confirm OP won't have rasp if he went with the dp, Fabspeed mid, MPE but the Fabspeed & MPE combo sounds great and there is no resonator. My assumption is that it will sound the same but much louder.

Up until yesterday, I had the axel-back Akra paired with FabSpeed mid-pipe, stock DP's and I had my shop cut out the small resonator on my OEM F80 exhaust between the FabSpeed mid-pipe and rear end of the Akra. It sounded better however, everytime I heard my buddies MPE with FabSpeed mid-pipe, to me it sounded better, so that is what I did. I traded my rear section Akra for an MPE and could not be happier.

I would imagine that adding any DP's would make it raspy, so I am not sure you will like this however, if this is the sound you are after, perhaps it will be ok. Good Luck!

Trading an Akra for an MPE is not something I thought I would ever hear but since you were the first to do the Fabspeed with Akra be extra adventurous and let us know what downpipes do!

Akra axelback pairs better with DP’s than MPE, fact. It helps keep the rasp down from DP’s and vice versa the DP’s keep the volume going through Akra

I thought the same but to be honest, the Akra is too tame. I am not a loud exhaust kind of guy but the mpe in my opinion, has the perfect tone in every way ie: start up, cruising, revving...it's just perfect. The mpe without a mid-pipe still sounds better IMO. To each their own I guess!

I won't be doing DP's with my current set up. A local F80 tried it with Akra DP's, FS mid-pipe and MPE and he hated it...took it off the next day. I love the way it sounds right now!
