It will be louder and sound different than with OPF. No clue what the sound track will be. I have not heard it.

The car looks great - the diffuser and exhaust really finish it off!

Can稚 wait until I get mine!

Did you go for the link pipe as well and are you happy with the way it sounds?

Definitely would appreciate some video clips of it.

They have done dyno tests and I have done with mine as well, and the results they communicated to me are similar to mine:

Slip-on offers 3,3 kW and 5,6 Nm more @ 5.125 rpm
Slip-on and linkpipe offer 9,9 kW and 21,8 Nm more @ 4.640 rpm

Nope, this is it, there is no other option.

Akrapovic slip on, plus link pipe arriving this week. This might be the first system to arrive in the U.S. to be fitted to a non-OPF M2C. Akrapovic rear diffuser also being installed. I’m told that the installation will be video documented. I will report back with pics and video. I will be poor for a little while, but I’m very excited to see and hear the results.

Very nice! Would be great to hear it on a video ��

My Akraprovic slipon, link pipe and diffuser arrived last week but I’ve yet to fit them due to waiting for a OPF delete solution - though I may just get the slipon and diffuser fitted as I can’t stand the cows udder and lack of noise anymore!

I ordered the slip on + linkpipe as well! I was told by my shop that our order's in the first batch coming in, but didn't know it's arriving this week. Where are you going to install it?
