Save your money. Get the ap exhaust. Thats essentially what an ipe is minus the ipe engraving and markup lol, actually, don't think there's even a difference between the two at all. Maybe different looking remotes? Hah. Akro isn't worth it unless your pockets run deep and you just want akro. With headers, you and everyone around you will be happy with the valvetronic.

Never had a problem with mine after 2 years of constant shutting on/off. All you have to do is grease the valves with wd40 if it ever happens, personally never had to use any.

I thought the IPE has 3 mode to run : OPEN Valve , Close Valve & Auto Mode for opening valve when hit the pedal and close valve at cruise.
Does the Agency Power have this feature too or only ON/OFF ?
Another question :
Does the AP and IPE fits on the MBH Headers + Midpipes ???
Armytrix is a bit different, meant to bolt up to shorty headers or your stock manifolds:
Still going to delete your primary cats but has sport cats... Definitely recommended to couple with an ECU tune.
The iPE or Agency power are consisting of Long tube 4:1 headers, connecting pipes and valvetronic mufflers.
Hope that makes sense
Have you had any customers complain about drone with the iPE exhaust, either with the cat-back or full system? I'd like to order one or the other but haven't heard either setup in person.

The MBH lth, Mids and x-pipe bolt up to the OEM resonator. So if the AP or IPE catback bolts up to the stock exhaust then it will bolt right up to the MBH x-pipe or mid pipe.

It has the same features. Believe me, they're the exact same minus the price difference. And yes im pretty sure MBH said its direct bolt on for the catback. If you're not supercharging, Id recommend the 4-1 long tubes offered by ipe or ap.
