Which one do you like the best ?

Rough comparison since it is "roughly" the same engine.

I like the 3D Design the best. It begins with a natural growl and has a long, satisfying finish without sounding like the M5 is farting.

All sound much better than stock M5 or AMG. 3D sounds good. Be interesting to see which one hits the market first.

Also interesting to see who markets the secondary cat delete pipe first. Primary delete is complicated. Secondary should be easy.

Akrapovic

I have Akra on my X5M, M6 (gone), and M5 (MPE), maybe I am biased (I am sure I'm biased) but I think they sounded the best.

Certainly exhaust note is subjective but I think the Akra suits the M5 very well. I'm probably biased as well.

Couldn't go wrong with Akra.
It wouldn't be the loudest but it is has class to it.
Starting from the appearance, fitment, to sound.

Agree

I have Akra on my X5M and am biased also. They all sound really good in the vid, but I’m hooked on the unique titanium sound Akra has. After 2,000 miles Akra sound is killer. Was a bit too quiet brand new. As posted above, it’s very subjective.

Added this to the mix since it will be OEM. Sounds a lot like the Akra since both are Ti.

Eisenmann sounds good too.

I hope they get to market soon !
