akrapovic evo

Alicio · 10-16-2013, 01:57 PM

I have an m3 sedan 2011 and I am considering having akrapovic evo on it. I would like to know if by putting the akrapovic evo I won't need to add anything els to have a complete setting or prevent any issue on the long run. Also, how loud and aggressive can they be? Any suggestion ? Thanks guys!!!

Have to address the check engine light with delete-r or tune. No long term issues.

Loud and aggressive are relative terms. Livable for me day to day. Sounds heavenly when you get on it.

Get a Akra and a BPM stage 2 tune it will sound so dam good and add some pretty good performance.

The only issue is that you will get a check-engine light because you have removed the front catalytic converters, which reduce emissions. As others have said, you can either buy a device to prevent the light from illuminating, or for a little more, get a tune which will (1) prevent the light from illuminating and (2) help your car make the most of the Akrapovic Evo.

Sound is excellent, with the sole exception that a small minority (including me) find it a little bassy in low RPMs. For most people this is a non-issue. From everything I've heard, it is one of, if not the, most conservative full/performance exhausts on the market.

Lastly, I would recommend either buying a used system on the forums or getting a package deal from BPM Sport where you get the tune and the exhaust at a discount. (http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=882428) The exhaust will ship to you super fast, too.

Highly recommend the tune and when you do you dial out the cold-start. With the EVO it is obnoxious in the morning.
