[@Chris-hw4mq]

They think people are stupid, over 6000 for a muffler not even the whole system.

[@Piupeww]

​@Chris-hw4mq well, people are stupid. Still buying that rip-off. You're paying for the name, not the exhaust.

[@MonicaHolly143]

U can get a tune and a cheap exhaust for that and woild probably soinf better than this

[@rolandxor179]

😂 Why do people buy a BMW if they cannot afford to spend €8k on an exhaust ? If you are making a medium income you are not supposed to drive these cars. I know it sounds mean or whatever but it's the truth.

[@Chris-hw4mq]

@@rolandxor179 its not that you cant afford 8k its that its not worth it. 5, 6 years ago you could get whole exhaust systems for 2k euro now they give you a muffler and tips for 6k. People need to stop buying them

[@Mzwandile_Makhowane]

I can, and do RESIST ANYTHING, but the sounds of a BMW Straight 6 Engine in full song 🥹...let alone the majestic B58. An 8th wonder of the world 😭😍😭😍🥹

[@Raulguly]

Is the sound difference live that much bigger compared to stock? Because I honestly can't tell much difference compared to my stock M440i Mild Hybrid with OPF. I feel like the volume is quite similar, compared to the F Series B58 where a 200 Cell Downpipe + Akrapovic Muffler combination was a MONSTER and a huge difference.

[@Mulu_ig]

My neighbor has 440i and when he rev it… sounds like vacuum V6, but while driving sounds nice. akrapovic is probably louder and add more raw and bass tone. However I’d recommend dp decat or removing opf - sounds even better.

[@Raulguly]

@@Mulu_ig I like the sound of my raw B58 Gen 2 Stock both while driving and while I rev it, can’t compare to the older ones but it’s okay. But I don’t find the difference on video that much bigger for the money this exhaust + downpipe costs. Back then on the F Series 440i you spent 3000€ for the MPPSK and had a completely different monster. Now you spend 6000€ for a little bit bass and that’s it, something others who don’t know the details will think it’s stock

[@ma_but_]

​@@Raulguly If you could hear my car in real life, you would agree that it is significantly louder compared to stock. But yes, it's very expensive

[@barthendriks8581]

@@ma_but_Would it be fair to say that the catted downpipe is mostly responsible for the increase in volume (I would say about 20%) and that the Akra axleback mostly changes the exhaust note (more throaty and more bass)?

[@ma_but_]

​@@barthendriks8581i drove the car a few weeks with the downpipe and stock exhaust and I noticed almost no changes. It was slightly louder. After the Installation of the akrapovic, the car has become significantly louder, bassier and the burbles have become louder. But above all, the cold start has become louder. So I would say the main difference was made by the akrapovic exhaust

[@magataguiev]

Great exterior, great interior, great performances but the sound bruh…

[@kdm_entertainment]

Gotta make it TUV and EU illegal to sound good. Opf delete and catless dp

[@loran740]

just be not tuv & eu legal until you have inspection then you make it legal until ur passed :D

[@TenPainHD]

wow sounds like 10% louder than stock..

[@xzst]

Tbh doesnt sound all that better and isnt worth the massive price. Just leave it stock with open valves and maybe downpipe and thats it. Better off using the 9k to buy a miata for sunny days.

[@aconesovic466]

is it harsh to drive without adaptive suspension, i am planinig to buy one in US, RWD, without OPF nonsense, but they are all almost without adaptave suspension

[@avinashdasari7492]

Sounds very clean

[@Becausefamilycar]

The Fi down pipe and mid-pipe comb I think sounded better

[@ma_but_]

Is this combination legal in germany?

[@barthendriks8581]

I agree that the FI-set up sounds great. At the same time, having both the OPF removed + catted downpipe does create some droning slightly at certain RPM’s. Secondly, removing the OPF does require rewriting the ECU software (which can only be done by first sending the physical ECU to FEMTO for an unlock) because otherwise the car will go into limpmode. So this setup (catted downpipe + axleback) seems like the happy middle if you don’t want to go through the FEMTO-process…

[@AnAncientCatBoi]

TUV and EU legal? How does that work? Does it mean i don't need to get it approved because it was already approved by the gov?

[@ma_but_]

Yes

[@milannekuhh]

Yup

[@buffalo_magic8761]

[@kdm_entertainment]

@@ma_but_ Yup..

[@Verknechter]

Akra and downpipe may have TÜV approval, but probably not both in combination. And approved or not, if it’s too loud in a police inspection in Germany they will shut down your car and you have to fix the exhaust and show it to TÜV again. And both mods together will be louder than allowed I think.

[@ma_but_]

If you read the documentation of the 300cell hjs downpipe...the combination of the downpipe and an aftermarket exhaust is legal. I was already in a police inspection and nothing happened.

[@xNoLiix]

They will only make you fix it, if it's louder than "eingetragen", which - depending on the documents Akrapovic provides, is not an issue

[@Verknechter]

@@xNoLiix I can only speak for the M140i, I had I full Akra turbo back system. I is very expensive, but its approved in combination exhaust + downpipe which is why I bought it. Problem is: it is louder than documents allow when measuring db. I don’t know for the g series, but it will probably be too loud too. Even if documents state it’s legal.

[@barthendriks8581]

Nice sound! May I ask how you have suppressed the Check Engine Light as I assume the 200cell downpipe normally gets is over time (I know as mine did)? Via FEMTO unlock or via the LEIB CAN MIL deleter?

[@ma_but_]

I have 300 cell downpipe☺️so i don't habe any check engine lights

[@barthendriks8581]

@@ma_but_Lucky you 😉 I can remember that I was quite disappointed with the OEM sound (especially due to the OPF) but the downpipe really brings back the sound. I can only imagine that adding an axleback exhaust is the icing on the cake! Not sure whether you have it but another great mod (which certainly makes you smile all the time) is getting xHP stage 2/3 for your gearbox. It makes the gearbox more snappy and you get some addictive sounds and burbles with the up and downshifts…

[@ma_but_]

Yes, the stock sound is really boring🥲 the software is stock but maybe i will add some more burbles in the future🤔😂

[@barthendriks8581]

@@ma_but_The nice thing about xHP is that you can upload it via the OBD. So no need to send the ECU to FEMTO. In combination with your exhaust setup, pfff, you will be grinning all day long 😉

​@@barthendriks8581 you mean mhd Software for example? Hmmm sounds really interesting😌🤔😂

[@RJLightning68]

What does TUV stand for??

[@Timo7777.]

It's short for the German "Technischer Überwachungs-Verein", so the test organization that has to check your car in Germany every 2 years. Besides checking safety issues, there are a million things you're not allowed to do on your car here. If you have unusual tires or an exhaust, everything has to be checked before you can access the street, some stuff simply is not allowed, some stuff only costs money and a lot of time. The German Autobahn is fine besides a lot of construction sites, but everything else from paying taxes for the car or fuel up to German bureaucracy for car manipulations is a nightmare here. We have a stupid government atm.

[@_nopestr]

Technischer Überwachungsverein - basically "Technical Inspection Association". But, you could've googled that, instead of asking stupid questions.

[@PSA78]

All countries in EU basically have the same approval these days, they just enforce them slightly different and in Germany it's TUV that handles it. It all went sideways when the whole car started being approved "as one", meaning any change to the car besides dirt on the outside would make it break approval. 🤬

[@user-fs6yf4nq5z]

Sind die Videoaufnahmen MIT oder OHNE eine manuelle Klappensteuerung entstanden? Wurden die Abgasanlagen-Klappen für das Video extra "offen" gestellt hat? Oder wurden diese automatisch durch das BMW-System oder das Akrapovic-System geregelt? Denn das wäre sehr wichtig um einschätzen zu können, wie der Sound wirklich ist.

[@ma_but_]

Servus, mein Auto hat keine manuelle Klappensteuerung oder eine von Akrapovic. Die Klappen werden genauso angesteuert wie bei der Serien Abgasanlage. Es Hängt also von der Drehzahl, Geschwindigkeit und Fahrmodus ab. Erfahrungsgemäß öffnet die Klappe bei ca. 2800 Umdrehungen in Sport Plus

[@ma_but_]

Ich kann dir auch gleich sagen, der Sound kommt im Video bei weitem nicht so rüber wie in echt. Die Gangwechsel sind sehr basslastig und generell der Sound ist tief, laut und basslastig in den unteren Drehzahlbereichen. Die Schubabschaltung ist auch sehr sehr deutlich zu hören durch die AGA. Serie klang das Auto nach nichts. Die Akrapovic war jeden Cent wert mmn.

[@vp_marius]

​@@MixNinjaWarrior no more like 1400€ after taxes

[@Timo7777.]

Most people in Germany can never afford a new car in their whole life if they e.g. follow the 20-4-10 rule (20% cash, 4 year loan with max. 10% of your income after taxes each month). Average car on the street here is 10,2 years old (and that includes a lot cars from early 2000s). Average income is around 2500€ per month after taxes, 65% have less, 35% have more. Minimum salary before taxes is 12,41€, so by 40 hours and 4,35 weeks thats 2160€, goverment takes away around 25-30% on that low income. You might be able to drive a 25 year old BMW E46 with that money.
