It's a shame we have the OPF in europe, thus, if you want to keep warranty only the back box can be changed if I'm correct

So it is safe to say that:

1) Akra is the "least" loudest of the bunch (in a good way!! at least to me), but still gives the car a nice deep tone?
2) Remus sport vs Remus race is a pretty good difference in terms of decibels and tone signature?
3) Eissenman sounds really good, but felt like it would have some droning inside the cabin?


I'm personally looking for a solution that:
a) is not very loud, but still gives a nice deep tone to the car (like the Akra I had for my old e90 M3... the akra i heard on the F80 M3 was much different)
b) has 90mm tips minimum, but preferably 98-102mm or larger

i can't make my decision and I've been reading, researching, and listening to youtube clips ad nauseam

What are your thoughts on the Akra evo between the M2C and F80 M3?

I thought the Akra for the f80 was too high pitch, almost whiney, and I was afraid it'd be similar on the M2C... but so far based on several YouTube clips and user feedback, this does not seem to be the case at all. Perhaps the shorter length and muffler design has resulted in a deeper, darker sound, which I think is a good thing..

But wanted to get others who've heard both to provide any and all feedback. Thanks!

The akra full exhaust on the M2C is definitely not high pitched. Here’s a link to a little promo video that my installing shop did on mine. It’s not the best in terms of truly showing the before and after, but they did a decent job capturing some accurate sound (despite most of it having too much dramatic music). The akra is really a piece of artwork
