Yes they do claim a horsepower and torque increase. It’s right there on their website: + 11.3hp & 21.3Nm. Also I said it’s plenty loud outside the car but lacks the aural excitement from within. That was my point. If you’re buying an exhaust just for the volume factor, from inside the car it’s no different to the M Sport option which is a lot cheaper. Cheers
Yes I know they have a claim as I have it on my F10, which is why I said it's minuscule because it's not something you can feel.

Akra to me is refinement, a very high quality product but maybe overpriced. However, I see your car is in Singapore and mine is in Taiwan, where cars are very expensive, so a 8k system is all of sudden, only a small percentage of the price of the car.
