This is if you're on a budget. Sounds great to me.

IMO Akra is so overrated. I see no value in it compared to what everyone else offers.
Akra is the best quality exhaust out there, the evo system removes secondary cats and you shave approximately 20 lbs off the weight. Plus the sound is not obnoxious, more refined. Compared to the price of the MPE it's a no brainer.

I can’t find a single reason why I would go for MPE under these circumstances.

Here is where it lead me:

Now the choice is between MPE and Remus.

MPE maybe as it's got the option of volume via the Bluetooth controller? At least there's some option when it comes to driving mood.

I believe Akra do also offer a similar Bluetooth controller but that is sold separately - would like to hear how well the akra controller works in terms of changing the volume and tone of the exhaust.

The bluetooth controller was only for the OG M2 if I recall. Instead the s55 version is controlled through the drive selector (efficient, sport, and sport plus).

Ah my bad! Assumed it carried over for the M2C as well.

MPE for me was a big upgrade in the sound dept. both inside the car and outside especially when getting up in the revs.

and yes for M2C MPE same as stock with the modes. mine is pretty much in always in the loudest mode which my wife validates as she indicates she can always hear my coming down the street.

Yeah, but my car has OPF. And thus the result can be different from non-OPF cars.
