M8 comp with Akrapovic

So first off a big shout out and thank you to Ben r33_RGSport for working through these tough times and making it happen. I have had a performance exhaust on the last three ///M coupes I have owned and I decided to pull the trigger a few months ago and place a deposit. Well it arrived safe and sound and got installed. All I can say is wow it really finishes the car and makes the emphasis of sport over luxury/GT. Literally transforms the car and makes a bigger separation between M850i and M8. No I dont have a sound clip uploaded yet but Akrapovic does. Here is the sneak peak.

Without a sound clip, this thread is worthless.

Hahahaha, teasing of course. I heard the one from Akra but I'd prefer to hear yours sampled on your phone or something.

r33_RGSport didn't you do a before and after, Ben?

Akrapovic makes any car more powerful and faster. BUT NO SOUND.

Without any sound I'm guessing the fancy Akrapovic branded carbon fiber exhaust tips. Not sure if the M8C with the full carbon fiber package comes with carbon fiber exhaust tips but at least the Akrapovic are pretty.

Unfortunately, they don't make anything for the M850i (but oddly cover the M240i plus a bunch of the 3-series) so I'm still holding my breath. However, any additional sound produced is never going to make it to my ears within the cabin given the glorious B&W soundscape at 50% plus will drown it out of existence.

Louder more pops basically perfect in efficient startup mode, no need for sport unless you want the faster throttle. The way the car should be and no need for downpipes.

When I am not working and have a chance will do. In the mean time anytime serious with an 8/M8 can PM me with their number and I will send some clips from the drivers seat.

Sorry if this is redundant, but I ordered mine and was notified if I have OPF I can't fit the full exhaust? Did you have any issues with this and how do we know if we have OPF lol

US car doesn't have OPF.
At least not yet, and hope never. Hahaha.

US cars do not have OPF only EU. No issues with US cars but you have to order the right version. There is a version with OPF for EU and there is a US version. My tech did have to make some slight bends to the support brackets on the comp (non comp doesn't have them) to clear the exhaust. Factory exhaust has a flat section that clears the brackets.

Thank you so much~!!!

Yeah I ordered the one without it. It was just noted by my shop that it might be an issue since they didn't see this OPF thing before.

Thank you, can't wait to get mine installed in a week or 2

If anyone is looking for a 2nd hand Akrapovic system, a friend of mine was looking to sell his from his M8 - it's already been removed.

It's in the UK, so there would of course be shipping costs, but there will be a saving from new of course.
