Akrapovic Exhaust Group Buy
This came up in the exhaust mega thread.
I got some pricing but was asked not to post the pricing publicly to protect the dealers and vendors. If we get a total of 6 people together, we should be able to get a fairly decent discount on the slip on systems for the M2 Competition. If you are serious and want to know the pricing, send me a PM please so that I can let you know of the pricing. |

We price match without the need for a group buy.

Very curious about pricing...
Slip on + AA mid would be a great combo.

It will be the second best investment you can buy for this car. You will not regret it. NO video does it justice. It sounds wayyyy better the m3/4. Really takes this car to the next level

The group buy is off people. I want to respect the vendors of the forums and also the strict retail pricing from Akrapovic. The vendors are most likely unable to match the pricing, but that being said there could be a lot of complications if the pricing was publicly posted or gotten out to one of the dealers. I asked my contact nicely to honor me the pricing that was provided for the group buy and showed them the thread, long story short, I've ordered my own system with the pricing they were offering for the group buy.
I tried to help but as mentioned above don't want to step on any toes here. Hopefully the vendors can give you guys some good deals. Also to answer the pricing question regarding if it is close to Remus, unlike most people think there is not a huge margin on products like Akrapovic, the quick answer to that is NO, not remus priced, but then again it is not a Remus exhaust either, Akrapovic is a whole other level of product when it comes to quality and the amount of development that goes into each individual product line. I'll tell you this much, that the group buy discount was in the 4 digits as the total dollar amount for discount. |

I haven't had the opportunity to hear one in person, but would assume it's an impressive set-up. In videos, I prefer Remus sport/AA mid, but videos obfuscate the true tone of the sound. |

I actually think OP should have posted his price. It is what it is, and if the vendors can't match that then deal with it. If for some reason posting the price would have break the rules, then there is obvious control of prices going in the forums and it just wouldnt look good.
Either way, 4 digit discount? If vendor can match, ill place my order |

I'll echo the same, if whoever in this thread offered a 4 digit discount I'll give them my CC number today.

I've been running the Akrapovic exhaust (stock mid-pipe) for almost two months now. It really is just brilliant. I'm not an exhaust-sound-perfectionist, but the thing has generated more grins per mile than I was expecting it to. Worth the money, discount or no discount. |

did you get the full system or just the muffler?
SD garage in Escondido, CA is also an Akrapovic dealer. you can try asking them for exhaust pricing. |

Resonators and mid-pipe are still stock, and I have pretty much zero desire to go any further with it. I like the noises it makes, and I like that it shuts up in Efficient mode for crawling through the quiet neighborhoods without risking anyone's ire. Also, my SO thinks it looks great but overall he hates that it makes as much noise as it does. He's the exact opposite of a car person (he recently spent a grand on a frickin' wallet in Tokyo but refused to get the M Sport package on his incoming 530e...), so that's a vote in the thing's favor.

On a side note replacing with the akra mid pipe still is super quiet in efficient mode. When not a different story. Either way if it makes you smile that's all that counts. 👍

That isn't as common here. There have been recent court cases that have reaffirmed our right to get pissy when we blab about our pay and find out that Fred in the next cubicle makes a dime more an hour. I'm in IT management and I agree with the court rulings. Pay disparities that can't be accounted for by seniority or other valid factors are almost universally caused by favoritism or other unethical issues. Even attributing differences to "he/she negotiated their salary better" is kind of crap in my industry as negotiation skills aren't relevant to being a Windows Systems Admin or Network Engineer. I want folk who are good at that, not good at convincing HR to give them another buck. I would have no problem with my folk discussing their pay with each other. I know exactly why each one makes what they do (we're Federal Contractors...I HAVE to be able to justify what I'm paying them).
Back on subject, I was on the road next to the world's loudest STI yesterday. That car was an example of a vehicle that was just too loud. I don't think my car is nearly as loud as his (I hope) and I'm absolutely sure that I like the way my car sounds more than his. Also, his car appears to be slow. :-) |
