First look: Akrapovic Evolution + ER DP Sound Clips [slight h00ning content]

With the newly Akrapovic Evolution exhaust and Evolution Racewerks catless downpipes on our shop M4, we were able to get some sound clips for everyone.



Rather than simple revs in the parking lot, it was hard not to resist a little bit of hooning during work hours.



Current configuration
- Akrapovic Evolution Titanium Exhaust
- Evolution Racewerks Competition Series Catless Downpipes
- Burger Motorsports JB4 Piggyback Tune
- BMC Filters

Those local will see this in action at our dyno event this Saturday.

Enjoy.

Akrapovic downpipes haven't landed on US soil yet. We'll have the first set in a couple of weeks to install on the Akrapovic M4.

That does sound good. Tom...coming from a GT-R, downpipes were a major pain to install with stripped bolts and almost guaranteed damage to the O2 sensors. How's a DP install on these cars?

Sounds awesome! I'm glad I went with the Akras now. This wait has been brutal - 4 months!!! But I think the car and exhaust will be here soon.

Love it! That's the proper way an exhaust system promo vid should be shot. Cut out all unnecessary fancy editing and back ground music.

The akra exhaust looks and sounds incredible.

What are the differences between the Akra downpipes and the ER downpipes? From the pictures the ER seems more free flowing but the Akra seems more engineered...

Its a bit hard to see underneath all the heat shielding on the Akrapovic units, but we expect gains to be similar between the both. What's important is trying different options out there.

We'll know as soon as we install the Akrapovic units on the Akrapovic M4 in the next couple of weeks and compare runs.

Very straightforward, there's a bit of room underneath. Typical install is about 60-90 minutes once the car has cooled down.

Are both the Akra and ER downpipes compatible with the stock exhaust?

Does the Vorsteiner weave match the rear RKP pretty good?

I remember those days. Took me a long time to install my downpipes on the GTR and praying when I loosened each bolt.
