Adding the MPE to my new Akrapovic evo exhaust?

Hey guys!!

Need some help here, I was very dissapointed on the note of my new Akra exhaust, quite sad how lame it was for a 3 grand exhaust,

I would like to add my MPE to the system,

what is the measurement of the original exhaust? 2.25 inches?

I don't know the answer to your question, but I have one of my own.

It sounded lame??
Please elaborate on that, because I can't imagine a $3k Akro exhaust system sounding bad.

It makes a deep growl inlow rpms, nothing else, its dull on high rpms and the epic high pitch noise on high rpms is nowhere to be found! My mate has akra on his rs5 and that noise is mind blowing!!! I lost all noise on downshifts which i loved on the mpe, i am shocked how bad it sounds, my mate with the rs5 concurs

I guess you just have to send me the Akra and you can put the MPE back on.

I'd love to but I imagine it wouldn't be worth it to ship it from Sweden to the U.S. unfortunately.

I know, but I dont feel like going with Cobb or jb4, I have a 13 hour drive to get the tune done, sweden also has real tough regulations with a yearly inspection of the vehicle where they test this,

If you're car has a supported DME, I would get MHD. Their "Off The Shelf" tunes are damn good (imho).

Do they do a sniffer test (sensor in the tail pipe?) or just check the car computer?

Then you arent going to hear your exhaust.

Go with MHD for your tune, you can do it yourself from home, super easy. and its a better option than both COBB and JB4
