m2 honestly sounds good enough with the active exhaust unless you want a max power build I don't see the reason with going with a different one unless you just want to be obnoxious, you can't tell in this video because author states that the car is limited to 4.5k because of break in but once you rev it up all the way it's pretty loud in person. (if applicable with M performance exhaust)
There’s a lot more tone and volume in it. The stock exhaust sounded like a vacuum cleaner, especially thanks to the OPF. The Akrapovic slip-on and link pipes together with the OPF delete change the car completely.
So, what did you do to not have engine problems for ripping that opf shit out? Im thinking of buying one of These but i hate the stock sound. I dont want to do software for the OPF delete, this thing has enough power as is and im not voiding all warranty just for the damn CEL. So i need to either find a solution or look for a different car. :/
The OPF is deleted in the software to not get any CEL, without tuning the engine ofcourse. This was all done by an official BMW dealership, so warranty is not voided.
@@yd222 nice! how the hell did you get a bmw dealership to do that for you? I’m guessing you are not in the EU? Mine here in Germany would be looking at me like I’m stupid if I asked them this (and I did ask them for my other car... with the expected results).
@@yd222 You can't make someone believe that a BMW dealership is able to do such a tuning ! It's completely illegal ! And you would be the only one in the world.
There isn’t one. Not sure why this car burbles with the stock exhaust, mine has none in sport plus. Akra sounds weak, no way worth $5k for that sound. What are you shifting at like 4k???
@@seanoconnor8135 BMW needs to go back and simply redesign it so BOTH pipes are of equal length, in order to get RID of that 'lawnmower on steroids' sound.
@@ovnilab exactly. Aftermarket companies have figured that out so makes you wonder why BMW didn't offer it on the CS at least as an option, not to mention the S58 in the new M3/M4 which sounds just as bad. The sound of these engines alone is enough for me to never want to buy one, they are just turning away sales
It sure does look better.
Akrapovic with open valves is orgasmic...
it's like... soothing lol
That vibrating/rattling exhaust flap tho. Terrible for a 5k exhaust!!
I heard that too. Doesn't even sound all that great to me. I'm happy with my factory installed titanium M Performance exhaust on my 21 Comp.
If the secondary cats have been deleted all it needs are 200cells

well theres nothing wrong with wanting more sound but not more power ( you will gain some with the exhaust tho)
Sounds amazing like always, best Exhaust System !
e46 M3 csl = best sounding M car
Im an amg guy but this is one sexy car
Simply perfect!! Fuck opf filters!
Akra or not, it's always that same bad sound of the S55 but louder. You need an equal length midpipe ;-)
It actually sounds better with stock CS 😎
Perfect video
I much prefer the heavy deep growl of V8s
What a fucking beauty.
The video doesn’t do the justice for the sound, in your opinion how’s the sound difference when you’re listening live

Got to love the new EU regulations 🤷🏼♂️🤮
@@yd222 any drawback for doing that?
No cel after removal of OPFs? Sounds great
Correct, no CEL
@@yd222 but how?? Are you also running a piggyback or new tune?
Interior droning at 65mph???
No drone with the valves closed.
Is the akraprov better in anyway except for sound?
What year is this m2
hate this popcorn nonsense. sounds tragic - no sound of an engine but this neverending farts

Yes, EU. The OPF is only for European cars.

I literally have a m2 cs and I don’t know where the sport plus button is for exhaust sound.
U have to put ur foot on the brakes and gas at the same time.

@@Ryem3 Read the description.
@@Ryem3I have been. My car is still breaking in.
@@Golden3ye I’ve taken mine to 6k. Doesn’t sound much better
akra open sounds quieter than closed? wtf
Now drop it
AK+1
I wanted one of these but the engine just sounds like ass :/ I got a mkv supra instead
Someone please tell me why you would switch out the exhaust other than getting a cooler noise? Does it add more power?
Depends on exhaust and the car, with a tune some can get more power, especially if cats r removed
Im confused, is getting better sound not reason enough? Id be ok loosing power if i get a car that doenst sound like s vacuum cleaner for it tbh.
Saves 10kg of weight as well
Equal length or nothing. It's the only way any S55 powered car will ever sound any good
*EXACTLY! You can dress that horrible sound up any way you want, it still sounds like BUTT.*
@@ovnilab 100%. Louder does not mean better. This just sounds obnoxious

@@seanoconnor8135 Totally. I'm waiting of delivery (this Thurs) of a 2018 F87 M2 w/super low miles on it. Just love that sound of the N55.
Ngl it’s good, but a stock m2c is louder 😔😐
Arthur Kniaz no lmao
A stock M2C is also a vacuum cleaner 😂
Nothing like spending $8K for a Titanium Can
Not so good that engine sound..
Just get one of these and call it a day... ua-cam.com/video/_nR7s64LYws/v-deo.html
I like the look of it, but it is automatic car lol, and it sounds too loud
Most of these exhausts are a rip off, there is a very insignificant difference here...
this fart machine sounds terrible!
My m20 sounds better.
