Cargraphics vs Akrapovic vs FiE vs IPE

Which would you consider and why for your exhaust system?
Cargraphics whole set (headers/racing cat 200cell / x pipe/mid/muffler)
Akrapovic full titanium system
FiE full system (excluding headers)
IPE(Which i guess has same design as cargraphics)

Show your answer and why?

Akrapovič states that there are 10 reasons in which they should be considered as your go-to for exhaust systems.

Innovative Design - Pure Power - The Unmistakable Sound of Akrapovič - Race Proven - Research Development and Testing - The Best Materials - Advanced Technology - State of the Art Factory - Passion and Experience - Attention to Detail

All of these reasons put together and you find the Akrapovič system for the W204 C63 AMG which produces good power, and drops significant weight as well. Here's some more technical information and a video as well, but don't hesitate to ask any questions if I can help out.

if I ever replace the stock back with a system it's definitely akrapovic for me. proper sound and weight loss. only thing i'm not a fan of is the square tips, but not a huge deal

I'm a fan of FI and Akrapovic. Great service from both those companies. Awesome sound and proven gains.

If i'm not wrong IPE does not do much modification to really exactly enhance the hp of the car whereas cargraphics and Akra does.
I'm a sucker for Akrapovic as i had it on my M3,LP560-4,Previous C63.
The only thing is the headers.
I'm contemplating to mix Cargraphics headers with Akrapovic OR FiE or of course MHP.

IPE seems like a mid LTH compared to MPH headers which is more costly.
It does increase flow and hence increase HP.

Post IPE headers, dyno shows a 50 bhp increase with Eurocharged map to 553bhp (previously only achieving 505bhp with map and OEM headers)

Slightly raspy but not too much, expected with increase db.

Akrapovic compliments long tubes very well!

All very great options. The M156 just sounds so good once it's freed up.

We personally like the Supersprint Headers and Akrapovic Slip-On combination for strong power gains, but still a classy clean tone.

Let us know if we can assist in sourcing anything!

Akra and Eisenmann - Only 2 exhaust systems worth swapping your stock setup out for.


Supersprint headers look beautiful as well.

Will work it out

I was going tosay don't forget about the supersprint. I had akra in my previous C63 and going to my current C63 which is completely stock, it is a world of difference. The car had a stage 1 type of mod with bigger TBs, the full akra and EC tune. So different and so much fun. The sound combo was amazing!!

akra all the way. Most aftermarket exhaust systems just sound raspy and crackly, horribly loud which is great fun sometimes but really annoying to live with on a daily basis. The akra is just slightly noticeable when driving normally, and just the right amount of loud when getting on it with a good tone. here's my car. mbh long tubes w/ high flow cars, weistec blower, and akra slip on (all of the tone other than the blower whine is from the mufflers). The fitment is great and weight difference is crazy. You also hear the engine fan on full output in the interior video to gauge the volume.

roadtalantsi, did you reuse the factory resonator with your akra slip on?
