Its all about taste. Personally I hate the akraprovic sound. I love the stock note you could always modify the mid pipe by deleting the secondary cats and/or resonator. I think the best sounding aftermarket one for me is eisenmann but thats because its similar to stock lol. Youtube is your best bet

I love the stock exhaust sound... it can be amplified using an X, H or straight pipe with deleted resonator.

Imo, I love the stock exhaust, I think that the akropovic exhaust is the nothing close to what I would describe as insane. I really don't understand what everyone likes about the akropovic exhaust, but to each his own. The only reason why I would change stock exhaust is to loose weight.


I don't know if I you could persuade me that this sounds.......

More insane then this

This is what I would describe as insane lol

I agree, the Akro exhaust is a waste of money if you want a nice sound. If you want loud, just put cut outs on and be done, you have the nice stock rumble when you want it and then you have an insanely loud scream when the cut outs are open, not to mention you can save $2000 with cut outs.

Here's a forum member's Akro exhaust. I thought it sounded sweet.

Akraprovic sounds really good on other cars but not c63 imo

i went from stock to adding catless headers... was crazy loud... then went to topspeed pro 1 exhaust and it made it quieter and definitely a different tone than stock. if you care about weight, i think most aftermarket exhausts will save you some pounds.

Akropovic doesnt sound good on the C63 and the tips are ugly IMO! I would go with Eisenmann or just leave it stock!!

As long as the car is not registered in Cali, you can do what you want to the exhaust. In calling touch anything from the secondary cats forward and you're screwed for smog test (visual inspection failure).
