Bay Area 1M's with Akrapovic Slip on

I'm thinking about getting the Akrapovic exhaust slip on with wireless kit, but wanted to hear it in person first. Any 1M's in the bay area with the akra slip on and wireless kit willing to do a sound test
Also thinking about pairing it with the N55 mids...

I've heard it once, Shanghai 1M club mates', by comparing a Akra Evo with Slip-on side by side.
Unfortunately, the Evo one also have the Gruppe M intake with stock ECU, the sound is very weird after 4000rpm.
Though the Silp-on one sound very sexy in deed, I'm seriously considering getting the slip-on kit on my 1M as well.

Some pics of our previous gathering:

Do yourself a favor and get the N55 + Akra Slip On + wireless kit combo. It's the dog's dangly bits, doing justice to the 1M. No need for a sound check.

These videos give you a vague idea - IRL it's much more exquisite:

I have stock exhaust with Maddad mid pipe and I think the sound is incredible AND leaves serious money for other mods to suspension, performance or whatever.

I'm in the Bay Area so you're welcome to have a listen for yourself and decide. For me the decision was easy.
