BMW 1M Akrapovic Exhaust Specs Released: +15hp / + 19Nm
Official 1M Coupe Exhaust Specs:
2 systems:
Also available is a downpipe with modified cat but this requires a ECU modification __________________ Exhaust clips: Photos from IAA: Per Drillslinger: the system shown is cat-back ("Evolution" system) with resonators and the valve option. When the valve is closed exhaust gases go through the muffler and out the inner tips. When open, the muffler route remains open but the path of least resistance becomes straight out the drivers outer tip and across (over the muffler) to the passenger side outer tip. Drillslinger's pics: Here are those pics from the Akrapovic website... http://www.akrapovic.com/car-exhaust...on-b5895121f1/ Carbon tips... Titan tips... |

I must say it is a very slick design with the valve diverting exhaust through the outer or inner tips.
If only those damn tips didn't cost so much! |

You probably get screwed by the currency conversion. At $2091 USD, the slip-on isn't too outrageous, considering I paid $1800 USD for my E46 M3's Dixis titanium muffler 5 years ago. The additional $2400 USD for the titanium midpipe is fairly insane though. Then you get to the tips at $1400 USD which makes them automotive equivalent of a woman's thong: minimum material at maximum price.
The slip-on with wireless control intrigues me. If there's a noticeable difference in noise between the two modes I may end up purchasing one. |

Dackel for President!, thx mate!
Que-est-ce-que-F%CK?: "Hard Facts ... ... ...* *Preliminary data" , In Germany I would expect them to be be tarred and feathered for less Amazing product though! Wish it would make more sense to afford it. |

excuse for being sceptic
"hard facts" and then: "preliminary data" I want one, if it does what it says, and if it sounds like the GPsafety car and if it sounds good when you're in the car I'm not going to spent so much, only to amuse bystanders |

quick question, my 1M is currently in production
looking to purchase an exhaust for it since I do not think I would enjoy the drone... Heard that the Eisenmann exhaust still has a slight drone to it No comments from the Supersprint How bout from Akrapovic? Guess no one is actually running it yet, but how about information from the dealers |

also, each exhaust needs a few 1000miles/km's to "burn in" so the "full sound" isn't there in the beginning!!! Akra isn't delivering yet (in .BE) |

I do not doubt the sound level of the exhaust, but I've read that the eisenmann exhaust for the 1M does produce a small amount of drone and was wondering if its the same for akrapovic and supersprint that was my question |

Dackel is the greatest. Best pics of the Akra I've seen so far.
Damn, that Cat-back system is expensive, but right now I want it so bad... |

I do not know the answer to your question. That is why I did not comment on it. perhaps try contacting a dealer like Harold or Akrapovic directly to see what thier thoughts are. ? Dackel |
