3)when you shut down the car without closing the valve with the soundkit, and when you next fire up the car, will the valves be open?or do i need to activate the app or switch again to open the valves?
4)i've watched alot of clips on youtube and here in bimmerposts and i understand it doesnt really bring out the true sound of the exhaust.
So my question is, if i DO NOT change my downpipe and just the akra, will the sound REALLY makes alot of difference?
I am very interested in some of the exhaust you guys have but unfortunately in my country, the laws are pretty tough on aftermarket exhaust systems.
Akra without downpipe is legal though hence considering if i should really go ahead with it.
thanks very much for the answers!

1. the comfort/sport settings affect the valves same as stock. no need for sound kit
2. sound kit opens/closes the valves no matter what setting the car is in (comfort/sport)
3. not really sure about this, but i think it resets.
4. the akra alone is plenty loud in sport at WOT. In comfort, it's still quiet enough to hold conversations while cruising on the highways. even in sport at cruising speeds, it's still not *that* loud.
the cheapest way to get sound is to upgrade the DP. Akra is cool because you get a slight bump in power, lose a bit of weight since it's made of titanium, and also get nice sound
