From an installer perspective - we've been installing Akrapovic systems for going on 12 years, back when Akrapovic had a US facility.

It's good we have multiple options. Most systems always require some sort of tweaking around on the hangers or slip-fits to get just right, never the case for Akrapovic. For those that have owned Akrapovic before, you'll know firsthand they are the benchmark for exhaust systems out there - nothing comes close. We've installed numerous Akrapovic systems, had Akrapovic systems on our E92 & F82 and would do it all over again on this platform.

Whether its worth it or not, a Rolex and a G Shock both tell the same time - and last I heard, Rolex is still selling watches. We all work hard for our money, it's up to the buyer to enjoy how they spend it. Akrapovic seems to have a have a target market they're aiming for, and doing it successfully.
