Akrapovic Slip-On + Longtube Headers Pics/Vid - ACG San Diego
Here is one of our ongoing C63 projects. I am sure many of you have been waiting to hear the Akrapovic Slip-On with some longtube headers. I must say that with all the resonators in place, it souds just right. It is loud, has a lot of bass and very it is very reasonable at cruising speeds. Comparing to this setup, the longtubes with a stock exhaust sounds like a chopper. The video does not quite project the "body" of the sound of this setup. Its like listening to a large church organ on your computer speakers. You'll still get the idea.

The MBH setup looks very nice. Sound is subdued and not as "raw" as the stock rear components. Peter, are you a semi-pro photographer? These pics and the pics of the Akro exhaust you took at SEMA are outstanding.

Thanks for the comment on my photos. I just use a Nikon D40X with whatever lens it came with. I just know my settings and angles; otherwise, photography is not really my hobby

The pics, install, and exhaust look awesome! Nice job ACGSD. From the video, the exhaust sound does seem much tamer compared to the AMG mufflers though. Maybe a bit too muffled? Hard to tell without hearing it in person I'm sure. But I do love those square tips, they've really grown on me.
Another thing I noticed, you didn't install the custom cross brace that MBH supplied? Just curious, as I had to remove my stock one as well even with large spacers.

. My quaffe is still sitting in the garage cause I haven't found a reasonably priced shop that I am comfortable with and I am not going to spend a grand when you guys do it for about $400

I have a sub-woofer (Monsoon) on my PC and turned it up half way and 3/4 on the video. All I can say is:
OMG - Awesome...
I am still vibrating....LOL
I love the smoother more refined sound. It seems more in keeping with the car. Still loud and it will turn heads!

I do want to really say thank you to James and the ACG crew for making this experience really easy. They kept me informed every relevant step of the way, and made sure everything was perfect before I got my car back. I want to just happily add my list to those satisfied customers who keep coming back to ACG for their knowledge and expertise, honesty and integrity, prices and overall customer service!
Thanks James and Peter!!
