Here is a short French video of an X3MC with an Akrapovic exhaust. My assumption is that this particular system is OPF equipped. Hope more (and better) videos will show up soon.

My vote is in: love it.

got to say that’s a terrible video. just the x3m driving around with exhaust noise edited over the top which doesn’t correlate to the actual image

imo that’s not the best way to advertise such an expensive exhaust

I agree. Hope better videos come out soon. I will be able to make my own video in two weeks.

It sounded just okay to me but not good enough to justify the price.

OPF kills all the sound. NA spec will sound differently.

Sounds basically stock in the video....

The full non-OPF Akra Evo should sound something like this:

Considering how the S58 doesn't sound like an S55...not sure how that's an accurate inference at all

It's all they could afford during this Covid-19 pandemic. All the good editors aren't available to make this snazzy.

Damn, Z06 with an Akra must sound orgasmic! I ordered the full Akra Evo set. Should arrive in 10 days.

Might be a little hard to see in this pic. Was doing a little quarantine photo shoot in the garage. But akra's quality is unmatched. But so is the price point lol

Agree with you on this. It sounds "ok." At least it isn't overly "blatty" or "ricer" sounding like some of the other examples we've seen (or heard) recently. I think the clips of the Remus exhaust were better than this.

Still, if this is the "Euro spec" exhaust, final judgement will need to wait for the louder US-spec version.

Here is a photo of the F97 Akrapovic link pipe. Interesting resonated X-pipe design.

I’m so disappointed with X4MComp sound! Missing my F80 down gear pop so bad!

Another sound clip...
