Exhaust loosening up.....

  1. I have been pretty disappointed with my Akra noise but I did come from a V8.

    Anyway recently passed 6k miles and I think it is sounding much more meaty.

    Anyone that owned from new? Can you verify that they need some bedding in?

    I remember fitting BMW Performanace Exhaust to my 330i and generally people commented that they needed some miles under there belt & improved with age.
     
  2. Everyone that owns an akra say they sound gash, get used to it or change it

    Exhausts do sound better over time as the oil from the way they're machined gets burned off
     
  4. Now approaching 10k and getting louder, Had half a dozen pops and bangs today. Whereas I usually get one a month.

    That was without RS button pressed too.

    Mine was doing that, turns out the whole system had worked it way loose and was swinging around on it's mounts causing a leak. All sorted now
     
  6. My car has around 45k miles on and I love the sound of the akra. Sounds great when I had the seat down to take the xmas tree to the tip!
