The 1M with Akra Slip on is hilarious................................... good fun
I'm running the Akrapovic with wireless and N55 mids now since the end of march.
The sound has matured nicely and has gotten deeper. Sometimes I get some really loud pops when I pull up and let go of the accelerator. This doesn't happen always, but when it does it's really enjoyable. Now OT: Yesterday evening. Leaving work at about 19:15h, temp 25°C. Had quite a busy day at work, so I certainly wasn't in 'attack mode'. Waiting at the red lights and a BMW 325 convertible pullls up next to me. 3 guys are in the car and are checking the car out. We exchange a few words (Great car, what exhaust are you running, etc...). Then a 'quad' (aka ATV) passes in between our cars and stands right in front of us. The guy starts to flick his accelerator while waiting for the lights to go green. Let's say that after 30 seconds this starts to get annoying... These lights take approx 2 minutes to green, so there's always quite a few cars behind us. I signal the guys next to me to keep an eye on the driver of the ATV. I pull up till I'm right next to him and put the wireless button in red mode (Artemis calls this thunder mode for good reason). Then I give the accelerator some juice. The exhaust screams and when I let go of the accelerator I get a thremendous backfire, the driver of the ATV scares this much that he practically falls off it. I look behind and see the guys in the convertible laughing so hard they are practically crying! The lights go green and I slowly pull up. 5 cars which were behind me pass by and every single driver gives me thumbs up. This made my evening, day, week and probably the next month!

Aha, so you too already experienced the notorious backfire bang. Maybe your Akra even showed off jettisoning a small flame: the Akra Afterburner. Happens rarely, but when it happens, it takes you by surprise (only experienced it a few times when I went "Pedal To The Metal").
Have a look at the little list of 10 'features' experienced so far with the N55 + Akra setup: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...8&postcount=36 Oh and by the way: I told you, the Akra is a fun generator.
