By the way Franzzz, correct me if I'm wrong but I noticed that you had a M Performance rear silencer before your Ragazzon.
So can you tell us how was the sound compared to the stock and to your Ragazzon?

On activehybrid Mperformance 339 sound like a stock exhaust on AH3

Ragazzon is three time louder

The sport mode is very nice with the new exhaust but my main disappointment is to see that in Eco or Comfort, the vibration are very unpleasant and I'm not sure I could bear them for a long time...

I also had the pleasure to meet Lancelot who is living surprisingly at 5 km from my home. He showed me his nice car and he took me for a little ride around his home. The Akra has a similar sound compared to the Ragazzon but with less vibrations as Lancelot explained above.
I don't know if I will be able to wait for a hypothetical reduction of the vibration...

Meet immediately Lancelot in order to compare Akra and Ragazzon (on 2000 revs.....)

For me try to put Stock Resonator on Ragazzon exhaust or wait the response from Ragazzon in order to create a mid pipe with resonator direct by him

We did meet and indeed I don't have the same vibrations, though I remember it changed over time and took some time to settle, the key being to run the exhaust very hot (e.g. 10-15 min track session) for things to settle down.

Ok
The mid pipe Akra is maded by 2 Pipeline.
This reduce the drone on the revs range 1500-2500

Yes, Ragazzon has just proposed me to create a custom midpipe with a resonator...
It could be a good solution!

If looking for a similar twin pipe midpipe like Akra you could consider Remus - I have one on my m135i with sport cat DP and MPE - sounds superb. Small resonator keeps sport mode drone in check to same levels as stock midpipe

Good!
But very expensive

Ragazzon Exhaust it's full 80mm From cat to rear



Merry Christmas!
