Akrapovic 1M Exhaust: Some more details/info
We've all seen pictures and video clips of the 1M's being equipped with Akrapovic's prototype exhaust. I recently spoke with my representative at Akrapovic and he gave me a little more insight of it's general public release.
Akrapovic has authorized it's dealers to start taking pre-orders!!! http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=557745 1. Full titanium system 2. Optional Downpipes 3. It will be valved with an optional wireless control for the valve system 4. Retail is set to be near the M3's Akrapovic Exhaust pricing 5. Late September 2011 release Definitely sounds promising! Borrowed this pic from Jason Here's some sample Akrapovic exhaust clips: Last edited by Brian@bavarianx; 07-12-2011 at 04:38 PM.. |

By valve do you mean it will have exhaust dumps?
Also its a catback right? Fun fact. Akra makes an exhaust for the Fiat 500 http://www.akrapovic.com/car-exhaust...00c-2009-2010/ Last edited by BrokenVert; 07-11-2011 at 12:48 PM.. |

LOL, I am used to paying 1100 for a turbo back system.... $5k is just brand robbery... in my opinion. If it isnt the lightes material out there and nets you 50 whp, thats just not worth it, especially when you can go to any exhaust shop and have them fabricate a straight pipe setup for less than a grand.

2. Valve control system Sounds like a $5k exhaust to me. |

I think those are M3 facts, but the M3 system is a lot more complicated than 1M, so I can`t justify the same price tag as M3 (I actualy bought for my E90 M3 the full system).

I think it is worth it.
My first car I did full suspension. Second car I did tune and intake. This time I'm doing the exhaust. So far the full suspension was my favorite but who knows what a 5k exhaust could do. haha |

Ahhh, gotcha, didnt read that it was full Ti. Nice then, for those looking for ultimate weight cut... but for average joe, id stick with a set of straight pipe t3/t4 steel. Cheap and effective. You wont notice the Ti gains unless its on a race prepped/stripped car. I think a full turbo back Ti system is just boss though! |

I will be looking for an exhaust for the sound, not for a marginal weight saving or horsepower gain.
Assuming i can actually get hold of a physical car at some point of course!! |
