Hey guys,

about to sell my Akrapovic in favour of the iPE system. Just wondering if anyone has heard both and can confirm whether the iPE is louder.

I don't want to do down pipes yet as it will void my warranty on my new car.

Any help would be awesome!

Cheers.

for the record, the AKRAPOVIC is freakin EPIC.. I just want something a bit louder

If you want loud just get Meisterschaft.. I guarantee it's going to be loud even without downpipe ..

closed, can be heard but really quite, i have highflow downpipe tho. not catless.

[gt3fever]

keep the akra

[JoshVass]

Damn, I really want to get the AKRA, but will most likely get the DINAN. Anyone here hear the DINAN and AKRA in person?

If so, which one did you like?

Did you have the iPE on before you did the downpipes? if so how does it sound with stock DP....


Akra is great guys - I would recommend it to everyone but Im hoping the iPE is louder when fully open with stock DP.

If CG Precision can ship out an exhaust to you in Australia, i would seriously consider that option. I narrowed my decision down to Meisterchaft IPE and CG Precision, but finally decided on CG because of the amount of engineering research that went in to it. CG only makes exhaust systems for our N55 F3X specific cars, and that just tipped the scale over in their favor.

It sounds orgasmic open, and closed, slightly louder than stock. Zero complaints. Correct me if im wrong but it may also be the only full 3.5 inch system available. Not to mention the build quality on the system.

Heres a screen shot of the comments when some dude took a picture of my car and posted it in a local facebook car group.

not dead sound but its quiet , if i would go again id rather have CG, but it costs arms and leg for the shipping to me

so thats why i chose iPE, it very nice but its not perfect.. i expected more tbh.. specially when valves doesn't open fast enough with quick WOT.

I think ill just run it open or closed - never auto.

[Dan_335i]

so everyone is favoring CG VS1/R-1 over the akra, ipe and meisterchaft?

i wish the canadian currency didnt crash so hard..... i was planning to buy exhaust in late spring or early summer. but cant buy anything until the canadian dollar value goes back up

[///Chase]

I went with iPE over Akra.
