Thumbs up X5M Akrapovic Evolution exhaust!

Finally installed this exhaust on my car, sounds much better than stock exhausts..

and to whoever says that the akra exhausts don't give a lot of difference, well I will be posting a video on before/after results and let you feel what its like to have an akrapovic exhaust on your X5M/X6M

Will update this thread tomorrow

VIDEO:


I don't even feel like ever removing this exhaust its just simply better than stock exhausts!

Sounds unbelievable. Just a question though. How do the valves work? Does this system have valves in it just like the OEM system? Does the M button still work the same for the opening/closing of the valves? AKA does the M button control these new valves (if the akra comes with them) or are they sort of constantly open, so in essence no valves?

They come with valves and they work with the M button

Sounds good. I do have a question though. Based on the look of the system it seems that only two tips work at a time so I was wondering if that was the case. With the valves open do all four tips work?
