NEW: Akrapovic for BMW 335i

Uli_HH · 10-02-2009, 07:18 AM

Don´t know if anyone has found this before.

The "world best exhaust system" Akrapovic Evolution now also availiable for the 335i E9x:

In a word, yes. This came up and we laughed at the price.

GreenPlease · 10-02-2009, 08:07 AM

They can't be serious with a price like that. Honestly, that's where you'd price an exhaust for a Ferrrari. The "badge" tax for BMWs has gotten rediculous...

Hedges · 10-02-2009, 08:33 AM

rofl!

NAtS · 10-02-2009, 08:41 AM

It's a titanium exhaust. No cats at all, we're talking about 30hp more. It's expected to cost that much.

Craig@SupremePower · 10-02-2009, 08:55 AM

lol not at that price...

SoFlaE92 · 10-02-2009, 09:34 AM

My mental list of things I'd rather get with ~$6k is VERY long.

TurboSid · 10-02-2009, 09:34 AM

repost!

Hedges · 10-02-2009, 09:38 AM

I wonder what the split between cost of those pipes/labour to the cost of the name brand and r&d for these pipes at that price?

PortlandDoug · 10-02-2009, 09:38 AM

You can buy an awful lot of titanium for $6k...

I am willing to be you money that not a single consumer will dyno this exhaust at an increase of 30 hp. Not even one.

My HKS exhaust dynos at more power that that.

stressdoc · 10-02-2009, 11:09 AM

Titanium. That says it all. < 20kgs, but €4.5k !

brocken · 10-02-2009, 12:19 PM

Akrapovic makes nice stuff but who can afford it?
They made an $1800 full system for the Tuono that I really wanted but I purchased the Arrow system for half that instead...almost identical performance and similar sound...

CubanJJ09 · 10-02-2009, 12:29 PM

match this up with some afe dci and you can get 50 whp right off the bat

pdjafari · 10-02-2009, 12:54 PM

Ricer math FTW

Exhaust = 30hp

Ti Weight savings = ~50 hp

for a total of 80hp!!

FastLane · 10-02-2009, 02:56 PM

Akrapovic is known for their motorcycle exhaust systems, specifically to Yamaha supersport bikes. Their quality is top notch and they sound great. Yet, as previous members have mentioned, the price is quite high. For that, you would be expected a Dinan/OEM/historically known BMW tuning company, rather than a basketball player who is playing baseball if ya get my drift....hope they do well though!

Bahahaha

Who the hell would pay 6k for that exhaust?

SouthCali335 · 10-02-2009, 03:16 PM

The cost have titanium has come down in the last couple years, like way down! Maybe they built these exhausts when it was still over $70 per LB
