Slip-On is Axle Back.

Alex, you're killing me with this build..... Not sure if this car could get any better at this point.. Had an audi coupe today, a few years older, lowered, dual exhaust, and the blinkers blacked out roll up next to me on the 55mph highway. He wanted to play. Not sure which model exactly. Regardless, it wasn't worth the ticket,so I ignored him; he moved on.

Many thanks for the kind words, guys! I plan to incorporate two more exterior parts. One of the parts is currently being airshipped from Germany (thank you, my brother r33_RGSport ). The second part was promised to me by a larger parts provider from Illinois - and then they pulled back and gave it to somebody else. Such is life of a modder I guess. Trying to come up with a good alternative.

No I passed. It lets you manually open and close the valves. I prefer it work the way BMW does.

It’s to control the valves. We don’t need it because we can control with the same button we controlled the MPE exhaust valves.

I didn't get it.

Kinda useless because the car already have built-in button.
It is not fully open it, but good enough.
Even under efficiency, cold start is pretty loud already.

The sound clip shows a significant improvement from stock.

Incidentally, this year's BMW CCA car raffle features a modified M5 with an Akrapovic Exhaust System (Titanium Evolution Line).

Taking my big baby for a quick ride. Love how the Akra muffler is visible through the MPE diffuser cutout.
