I just got my Akra installed today and also think its quiet. It seems like for the cost youd expect it to be louder. Hopefully itll open up more with a little driving.
I was trying to find somewhere in previous posts where someone posted when the flaps open exactly as it seems they may open at different times. |

This is why I am happy with the sport/comp exhaust mid-pipes, and valves always open. Sounds sick from the outside....and a bit louder inside..but not much. 2k and done.

Has anybody noticed this exhaust getting significantly louder over time?
Ive got to say that its 30-40% louder than after it was first installed. |

Yup thats how Akra's usually are. They open up more once you put 2-3k miles. Im loving mine especially with the downpipes. I'm sure my neighbors hate my cold starts :

Anyone got (or heard) the M Performance exhaust and have any thoughts on that?
Windows down and surely these are all loud enough from the cabin... |

As the original starter of this thread, I feel an update is in order. It’s been 2 months and 2,000km of driving since I had the Akrapovic fitted.
While I was initially disappointed with it, I have to agree with a few people who’ve commented on this thread in so far as the exhaust note gets better with some mileage and heat cycles through the exhaust. I’ve just returned from a 1,000km drive through Malaysia and the exhaust note is noticeably better. This thing does need some miles on it to run it in as it were. So it’s not as bad as I originally posted but still not as loud as I’d like or even as loud as the Akrapovic in my F10 M5 used to be....have to look at downpipes now I Guess to get the sound I want.... The car has now covered 5,000km altogether, so at least the gearbox and diffs are properly run in, according to the M5 tech Manual, and I’m going g to try the launch control this week 🤣🤣🤣

1. A big sigh of relief for me to know that with X-Pipe on and Dinan Axle Back and I hear very nice noice when I'm in the back and someone else is revving it, last time I had to ask the shop owner EuroMpire (Who has an M4 with an after market exhaust) to drive it in front of me, and I loved, yet he comes back and w escape places and I am underwhelmed again. 2. I heard that with an X-Pipe and Dinan you get as close as possible to to Akrapovic, and heard it from someone who has M5C with Akra and heard Dinan too Thanks for posting, as you actually put this issue to rest for me, https://we.tl/b-bLQq7KUxN3 https://we.tl/b-a0KFZSdETC https://we.tl/b-D2I1wBblHL https://we.tl/b-O0tFKtI3Co https://we.tl/b-cpR6AYASHw
