Our exhaust sounds really good in real life no matter which brand you go with. I would save the money and just get DPs + JB4. Stock exhaust sounds great with DPs in sport mode/valve mod.

+1 catbacks have less power increase benefits than the JB4/DP combo best bang for your buck.

BTW check the new TPG street exhaust. That what I'm considering switching to

TPG and Agency Power are on my radar. So many choices.

I say wrong on both counts as I don't want all that F&F crap unless it's funtional and the exhaust is producing a sound that's pleasing on a highly rated sports car.....that does not in any way represent rice.

Rice is what you do to a car like a Toyota Corolla, add some canards, a wing, and an exhaust meanwhile you're still only pushing 128hp and 0-6 in 8 seconds, plus fail wheel drive, that's "rice". But if you believe you're M3 is rice then by all means, rice away.

Fine, let's call it Chinese made "sauerkraut" then. All of this crap, Frequency Intelligence, iPE, Amrytrix sound terrible.

it's made in Taiwan just FYI.....

Money2536 · 04-05-2015, 06:26 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is Taiwan not referred to as the Republic of China versus the mainland being The People's Republic of China? So Taiwanese is still Chinese.

that's correct but i guess "Chinese" parts or exhausts don't always mean they're of bad quality,etc. Plenty of forum members are pretty happy with the "Chinese" accessories they bought.

Unless it serves a true performance benefit, it is RICE (Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement), as most of the M-Performance parts are

OP, you cannot really go wrong with either the MPE or the Akra. I went with the MPE and couldn't be happier. From the video, the FI exhaust sounds too raspy and un-refined to me. Have you considered the Eisenmann?

I heard the MPE at Sebring for the 12 hours it sounds great! I what to hear the Akra as well

Our Non-Resonated SwitchPath™ Exhaust offers the aggressive sound you are looking for in a high quality system at a great price!

MPE + Valves Open + ESS Tune sounds so amazing.

Agreed, MPE at WOT is probably one of the best sounding systems on the market today.

Padfan9 · 04-07-2015, 03:52 PM

I've heard them all and AWE sounds the best for sure.

A bit biased because we have AWE on our car now, but we agree with you!

After installing and hearing them all the AWE is definitely the best sounding exhaust on the market
