M5 Competition LCI Akrapovic upgrade. Exhausting, but in a good way

josec70 · 09-10-2023, 02:44 PM

iPE is a great cat-back option that is valved. I had this on my 19’ M5C and was very pleased with it. The brand tends to fly a bit under the radar but it is high quality and sounds amazing.

Here is some sound clps and information I posted.

Sorry for all the stupid questions, so when people ordered a new M5 with the MPE factory/port installed is the exhaust button for the valve disabled also?

No physical valves so I think the button still can light up but nothing to actuate. My understanding anyway.

Yes, much better than the M-Sport Exhaust .. louder, deeper sound. I actually had an Akra on my last F10 M5 and the iPE reminded me a lot of the Akra tone.

Night and day difference ..

I see you're down the road in H-town -- don't suppose you or your shop can recommend a shop up here in Austin for performance mod work?

I don't have any recommendations for Austin, but I'll be at my local shop tomorrow or Wednesday and can ask them. I'm sure they have recommendations.

Thanks, I'd really appreciate that!
