Sounds nice, subtle. My style.
What's not my style is that price tag. Owweee.

From what I understand on their instagram post is that this is only the slip-on and not the full catback.

Which means there is a whole lot of tone missing from this exhaust. I honestly cannot wait to receive mine.

It does not sound like a $10k exhaust to me. I'm sure the quality is great but the price is crazy and I don't think it sounds particularly special at all.
Mid pipe seems to be the best bang for buck by a long shot |

Sorry but for that price I better be blown away.
It needs to sound like 2,000 angels singing in unison while an F-14 flies overhead.

Isn't it funny how Akrapovic exhaust price talk is always inflated? This slip on is featured online for $7538 (US). Even adding the Link Pipe it's $9511. So, as usual Akrapovic exhaust is roughly 10% the price of the car it's designed for. Not crazy for the best IMO.

Maybe I’m just too poor, but saying ten thousand dollars isn’t crazy for a muffler and exhaust pipes is insane to me.

I think the 7-10% of the vehicle price is about where Akrapovic exhaust has been for years and years. This relative price even seems in sync with other top-of-the-line parts for the same vehicles. Just look at what BMW charges for M Performance upgrades; or what HRE charges for their wheels for good benchmark examples. You do understand we're talking about a titanium exhaust system, right? |

Serious? Akrapovic has gone complacent. I can't believe they approved this product. I expect a lot of customer dissatisfaction posts. Time will tell.

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.
