Thanks Mate, amazing where this vid has been rehosted. Akrapovic listed it on their Facebook page, so did EVL and then it has been shared from there all over the world. When you have some time could you email me your feedback on the tune please. Thanks.

So you have done another system then? I assume so if you are "testing", looking forward to some sound files to check how much quieter it is.

Was at Rouse Hill Macca's today for my grandson's birthday party..

Cut a long story short, was approached by a young guy and his misses driving a fully loaded Golf GTI, to have a gander at my M as it was the first one that they had seen in the flesh..

This GTI had the full Akrapovic exhaust sytem including Dp's and sounded out of this world..
He is a regular at EC track days..
Look out for it if you are there.. Black with black wheels and red calipers with "Akrapovic" badges on the tailgate..

Drove IN the 1M yesterday, AS A PASSENGER, the exhaust was crackly and sounded just great. What I realized is that if driven sedately at ~3k RPM it can be very liveable.

Then I took the keys, driving in the city in Canberra with lots of buildings around, that's when it gets really gnarly. One can't go WOT as it will light up the rears, 1st or 2nd so even with moderate input to the throttle the sound files really go into overload, huge fun. I must have looked like a tool but who cares, the noise was funnnnnn!

Sounds ace John..

But in reality, it really doesnt sound like the real thing.. Its more raspier and exotic in real life.

I can still hear your Akra as you rode off into the sunset after some caffeine injection..

The Akra system sounds fantastic on John's car.
