Akrapovic Down Pipe

Travo20 · 01-13-2023, 12:25 PM

I have a 2020 M2 Comp and was wondering if anybody has installed the Akrpovic Down pipe with the OEM Mid pipe.

If so was there any problems on the install?

The install worked fine with the oem mid pipe, I eventually swapped the mid pipe for AA single.

It sounds good but I gave in and wanted the aa mid pipe which really made it sound great.

Are you happy with the downpipes? More so from a sound perspective, I do not foresee any issues with quality.

Looking to possibly install a full AK exhaust (downpipe, mid pipe, exhaust).

I'm happy with the full system. It's LOUD with valves open. Very tame with valves closed on startup. Neighbors probably think it's plenty loud with valves closed on startup. It's much louder outside the car than inside with valves closed. I find that there is a bit of drone around 2600 - 2800 rpm with valves open after adding the DPs. Easy to avoid with gear selection. I'm sensitive to bass and the deep note bothers me. Others say they don't notice anything. It's fun though. I like that I can dial up the sound by using the valve controller.

Everything fits together perfectly. Installing the DPs was not my favorite project.
