This is his best time mine was at first attempt.
With race gas I should be under 10s without dub.
These kind of tests annoying me , are numbers only and every time changing conditions etc..
My next up will be Autotecknic dry carbon seat back cover/Sterckenn front middle carbon splitter and M performance G82 side carbon wings.
Mine M8 CP is black and these wings will fit perfect.
Good numbers!

If they annoy you, then don't buy a Dragy and don't post them. Et voila as they say in a nearby country.

PS: checkout the Dragy leaderboard for some other numbers that will annoy you.
Ciao Lyme,we say in Italy😁
I let you enjoy with these numbers,
I am not looking for best timing with infinite series of launch control with race gas maybe.
I know the potential power of my car, sometimes I do track and that's enough for me..

Fair enough. I absolutely get that!

But, for others who would love to enjoy the performance gains you're experiencing with you, that is all we have.

Titanium or steel?
Slip on Akra or with central part also?
Akra is very serious company.
I rely on them that will replace the part without any discussion.

Titanium like they say. Full Akrapovic line, no opf.

Maybe because it one of first maded, idk. :/

I think they do, but so many time again.

But in total Akrapovic on M8 is awesome. I think they just take echaust from F90, made some adjustments to fit size of M8 and all, but they made totally diffrent product that sound and look great.

Full Titanium Akra is best exhaust at this moment.
I completely agree with you👍

I hope your exhaust gets repaired. I'm sure Akra will take care of you. I just got mine installed today and so far all I could say is...

What caused you to look under the car? Did you notice it at some other service or because of a change in the sound?
