Akrapovic in Melbourne?

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has the Akrapovic exhaust installed on their M2 in Melbourne? I'd love to hear it in person. Trying to decide which exhaust to go for.

Cheers

i feel like the catback changes the characteristics of the note (slightly higher pitch in the case of akra) while the downpipe tends to enhance the existing not (louder)

Agree. I definitely prefer the bassier tone of the stock exhaust. The cat just dials it up and also increases the pops and bangs. Sounds epic

I know someone in Brisbane with it. And there's an event happening in Canberra in late August that he'll be attending if you're super keen.
