Just a FYI...coming into AZ’s heat, THIS Oil Cooler Valve is pretty solid

Akra rev video added

Still haven't had time to do anything else or get a fly by video

I'm really enjoying the pacing of these upgrades, really makes me want to speed things up

I'm curious though, why akra instead of a remote controlled valved system like armytrix?

The valve really doesn't make a ton of difference, and there aren't any systems that touch the quality of the Akra, or in my opinion, the sound... Plenty of aftermarket options for valve control, but honestly I like it quiet when im just cruising and the Akra system is a PERFECT balance of quiet daily driver with just enough rumble to tell you its modified, and a fantastic growl at wide open throttle.

Oh... and I have had their systems on my motorcycles for the past 10 years, and have drooled over a car system since I heard the F10 M5 kit, so this was the car I finally wanted to install one on!
