Guys,

I'm definitely pleased with the exhaust note, not too loud but not tame either.. very classy tone with the right amount of depth and crispness when needed.. music to my ears. (On the initial test drive i was not as impressed but after driving for 2 weeks i'm all-in). Would highly suggest to anyone considering a full system. Fit and finish i don't need to mention.. as always thanks Ben r33_RGSport and IND-Distribution for helping get some of the bits for this build.

Since recording and playback of this stuff is tough to really get perfect, how would you describe the delta between this and what came with the comp package. Thanks for sharing. It some great in the video.

Its impossible to give you exact idea of sound on video vs in person.. but its pretty big difference comparing to OEM comp system, at least on a full Akra system. Do keep in mind my valves are always open because that's what i wanted to increase the sound further at low RPM.

That is almost impossible to do comparison.
Air humidity level is a big factor on sound.
Recently we have been having 60% humidity levels. So, it may sound deeper.
Also, pipe temperature will change the sound too.

Loudness wise, I would say about 20-30% more.

that sound (around second 36) is just what i'm after ... my Akra kit has landed and booked in for a September 1st installation - my kids summer holiday excursions taking precedence over this ... WTF!?

the car itself looks pristine, very classy build

Non GPF cars sound much better!!!

Has anyone in the UK/EU fitted this exhaust on a GPF equipped car yet? I have taken delivery of my MBB X5MC a few weeks ago, and to say the exhaust note is pretty quiet. Can't seem to find any clips with Akra fitted on UK/EU spec cars.

Please keep us updated since I have EU model too so I am highly interested to see how it performs.

Are you going to do full AKRA - without the OPF there ?

How does one improve perfection: buy another Akra exhaust.

Amazing sound. Thanks for sharing.

Akra slip-on fitted last week ... WITH OPF retained.

Verdict: very happy with it. i love the looks, especially the titanium tips and the gloss diffuser just blends the pipes into the gloss black bumper / diffuser. the sound is a classy, meaty roar on ignition, then settles down to a nice hum, just enough for my taste. the OPF is in place, so it's not hugely more noisy in decibel terms, but it;s a nicer sound.

i'll post a before / after sound clip when i get chance
