Akrapovic or AC schnitzer Exhaust system?

Hi all,

today i ordered all my M performance Extras for my BSM which is due in 3 weeks, i ordered, '' Black kidney grille's - black side vents - carbon spoiler - M Alacantara flat bottom steering wheel with the blue accent '' i also requested the Akrapovic Exhaust, however the dealer sent me a link to the Ac Schnitzer system which is really quite amazing, difference being the AC is just from what i know you get.

''
- Silencer made of V2A stainless steel including exhaust flap with serial control
- 4 end shields in "Sport black" design''.

which works out around 2400 euros.


the Akrapovic system is well a full Titanium system and not just the back box like the AC. where you actually receive 6kg weight loss and about 8BHP up, however, it does cost around 4000-6000 euros....

see videos below, comments and feedback much appreciated!.







the Shmee video is the akrapovic one so fast forward to 14:50 where they test and do drive by!


thanks!

I've had AC/S (Remus) on two cars. Both had bad drone. They were also heavy as f**k. Sounded pretty nice though.

Akrapovic is cool but for me it's a bit of an indistinguishable cacophony of turbo swoosh, pops and rasps - too much at once.
Remus is not my taste but guys from 2er like it very much.
As far as YT sound goes MPE is the best - crisp and loud:

Judging exhausts sound from Youtube clips is like saying how good food is by looking at images...

Thanks for using the M2 video we made in Slovenia

I did not hear the AC Schnitzer exhaust yet. All in all, it is hard to compare without having both cars together.

I did a compare between mine Akra + downpipe and the MPE. There was no comparison really. Due to the down pipe mine is sooooo much louder, more sporty and angry.

Im taking delivery of M2 next week...Going to check out the stock exhaust for a while but strongly considering Akra after a few months.

Although im looking for some extra uumpf sound wise I still want to be able to drive around without attracting to much attention and having a normal conversation in the cabine if I want to do so..So the question is whether the akra can be civilised when comfort/valves closed or is it a beast the whole time? Im talking akra without DP...

It is loud on the outside. On the inside it sounds like stock basically.

if you don't want to attract attention, you bought the wrong car
