that's good to be an expensive mistake if it doesnt fit.

but I'm crossing my fingers for you.

can't wait to see this done. I only went as far as the stock M2 back box after contemplating a MPE for the M2.

I can return the product and be refunded if doesn't fit so not a big risk

Everything worked good ! Better than i tought. Many videos says that the Akrapovic line fits absolutely perfect the M2 and i can confirm it's also true for the M235i. This line is perfectly designed. With the Fabspeed Sport Cat, it sounds absolutely demoniac ! And especially without drone ( i have forgotten what is driving without drone because of my Fabspeed muffler delete / midpipe and what a pleasure ! )

Hasser · 02-24-2018, 11:18 AM

that is awesome.

well done fella.

tripitz · 02-24-2018, 09:46 PM

Any videos of how it sounds outside and inside?

Looks like a work of art...

Bibopp · 02-25-2018, 03:52 AM

I will make videos of the outside soon. The titanium exhaust needs few miles to provide his full particular sound.

The inside is absolutely comfortable in comfort mode, no drone, no buzzzz or any disapointing sound.

I didn't install the sound kit which switches valves off in comfort mode and open in sport mode. I let the valves permanently open and even like that, comfort mode is perfect for highway or long road cruising.

In sport mode with windows closed, still no drone, only a pure sound, nothing disapointing. But to be honest, each time i run sport mode, i open a little the windows to hear the outside sound which is so pleasant to hear with an agressive tone.

Awesome mate!!

I bought an akra for my 335, sucked balls, so nice that you are happy with yours!!

I will add the pipes from the akra to my MPE and then we can compare=)

Ron Jeffries · 02-26-2018, 12:23 PM

I'm still not loving the MPE on my M240i vert. Nowhere near as nice a sound as my 135is, which had lovely crackles and pops going on and was very raspy nearing full throttle.

I hesitate to do more random things to it but observe these reports with interest.

The Akrapovic for F30 335i is from stainless steel and the M2 is from titanium so a little difference should be noticable.

Which downpipe do you have ?

I agree with you, Akrapovic are awesome products !

I hear also a difference between N55 and B58 but i heard also a sport downpipe + an Akrapovic exhaust on a M240i and sounded raspy nearing full throttle. Love this sound :

Ron Jeffries · 02-26-2018, 01:47 PM

OK that's what I'm talkin' about

Bibopp · 02-27-2018, 02:24 AM

Yes. The MPE for the M240i has a big resonator which totaly avoid the raspy sound. Sport Downpipe 200 cells + Akrapovic exhaust should be very agressive

I actually have it for the e92, and yes I was to cheap for titanium, I knew It would not be as manic but it sounded nothing, I resent it to Akra but they claimed no fault, my MPE in golf Tee Mod was 3 times as loud, so it was a huge setback since I know the insane sound in akras titanium systems,

My mate had an RS% with akra and it was a true joy!

NISFAN · 02-28-2018, 01:44 PM

Looks a tidy fit.

What diffuser are you using there?

What weight saving does the titanium system give you over stock?

It's a diffuser from Bastuck Germany but i don't know if they ship to the USA.

-5.3 kgs but compared to the stock M2 exhaust.

So everything went on nice and simple like installing the m2 exhaust and do you have clips of the sound yet???

This doesn't help me decide what to do, but maybe will help me decide it's good enough as is.

If you do the dinan mid pipe with your mpe you would be extremely satisfied. No drone at all. Had mine done a few months back and love it.

Ron Jeffries · 06-23-2018, 05:46 AM

nice. would love to hear them side by side in RL of course.

Bibopp · 06-23-2018, 05:56 AM

I received the new GoPro Hero 6 yesterday, i will upload video soon of how the M2's Akrapovic sounds on my M235i with the Fabspeed Sport Cat.

The titanium has now " worked " a little and delivers his full sound. I can assure you it sounds like heaven. It makes people scared in town when i upshift from 2nd gear to 3rd at 6000 RPMs. Sounds like a terrible gunshot.

Lipper · 06-23-2018, 07:25 AM

Really, really, nice! I'll line up a buyer for one of my kidneys and do the same!

Same here, the homeless under the bridges tend to duck a lot when I go thru the underpasses.
