Great comparo! Both sound really good, but I prefer the MPE. Would have been interesting to throw a stock exhaust in there too.

Nice! Based on the video, I'd have to say MPE gets my vote

Thanks for this. I will be adding MPE to my order.
I have MPE + MPPK on my current N55 - but this version sounds even better! |

Anyways, both sound nice. To my ears, Akra more 'guttural', while MPE more 'growly'. @MR.: not long after installing the Akra exhaust and Akra DPs on your M2, you reported about encountering repeated limp modes (turbo pressure issue) when giving it the spurs on longer trips. AFAIK some others who installed the Akra gear on their M2 equally reported here about issues. Did you find out whether the engine isues were (un)related to the Akra gear ? Could be mere coincidence, but interested to know your findings (see http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1317706).

I have not seen anyone with the same issues yet. I am the only one. Also Akrapovic does not have it on their test cars in Germany. MR |

Akra is about 3 times as much around $6 vs $2300 for the MPE.
Really hard to justify the akra unless you just gotta have it and money is no object |

Great video! Always been an Akra fan, the MPE just sounds better to me!
