When can we expect aftermarket exhausts to start popping up?

With cars starting to trickle out onto the roads, how soon can we expect aftermarket companies to release exhausts? I haven't adamantly followed a car from launch before, so I'm not sure what the typical timeline is for parts like these to be developed.

Hoping to get a base of comparison (sound/price/weight) before potentially pulling the trigger on an MPE!

Any reputable company puts at least a month into R&D so if they get hold of a car in mid April the earliest a well developed exhaust will arrive is about June I guess.

Akrapovic told me they would have an exhaust available very close to M2 launch date. End of April early may.

Ive left MPE of the spec for now until ive seen Akra's offering.

IIRC dinan took about 6mo from the M4 launch to release their exhaust. And i believe they are one of the few that get pre-launch cars for R&D

Unless stuff they have bolts right up. Which in this case...might very well be true for a number or parts.

Akrapovic on this car should sound very good. Can't beat the quality, fitment and weight savings of Akra.

I visited Akrapovic facilities in Slovenia last month and I saw the M2 exhaust in the flesh.

The prototype is finished. They are building the tools in order to start the production 0.

Full titanium exhaust with quad carbon tips and flaps connected to OE system.

Not allowed to take pictures.

You can check it out here akrapovic has listed an exhaust for the M2 on their sight no pictures or stuff but that means they are working on it :-)
