Please make your personal choice? Which one is the best; the Audi S5 with an Akrapovic exhaust or the BMW M3 E92 with a similar system developed by the Slovenian exhaust specialists.
The Akrapovic Slip-On exhaust system for the Audi S5 offers a power increase of 2hp and an additional torque of 14Nm. This performance increase is noticeable between 1500-3600rpm. The stainless steel system offers a weight reduction to the stock system of 4kg (using an optional link pipe). The soundtrack can be changed using a remote valve system.
The Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system for the BMW M3 consists of flow-optimized link pipes with 2×100 cpsi sport metal catalysts, integrated resonators and split Mufflers. The all-titanium exhaust system reduces the weight with respect to the stock system with a total 24kg. The power increase is 22hp and the torque 35Nm. The mufflers are also available as a Slip-On system.
both are great but i definitely would choose Audi
In this “battle” I’d choose Audi too, but, anything from Akrapovič is great. For 2 or 4 wheels!!!
OT: (saw this M3 on trailer towing to the Ivančna Gorica, last sunday on Ljubljana motorway – nice livery, even nicer exhaust!)
AUDI AUDI AUDI, The tone of the Audi is very different, never heard an audi similar to that one.
I admit audi sounds better but 2hp v 22hp !?
I prefer the BMW – it sounds much rougher, more metallic, much more similar to a racecar and really unique ;)
Even though I like the Audi more overall as a car, I like the aggressive sound of the M3 more. Audi 4.2 V8’s almost always have a muffled sound to them no matter what exhaust you put on them.
For me an M3 is the only option.
But I must admit Audi sounds fantastic in low revs.
