Akrapovic Titanium Canister Lasered

Mapoipoi · 06-29-2011, 11:51 PM

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know where I can find the long version of the akra titanium header, with the akrapovic logo lasered on it, rather than a sticker?
I saw it on the youtube video "the chase":

YouTube - ‪The Chase - BMW RR vs. BMW M3‬&rlm;

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

I think and correct me if I am wrong in this one the lasered logo is only when purchased from BMW as an official BMW accessory.

I think you are correct in that BMW does offer a lasered exhaust. However, I believe the one that is offered from BMW is called "akrapovic sports exhaust" and it is almost like a slip on, similar to the shape of the stock. The one in the video is also lasered, but it is the long can, and is either the race or evo. I can't tell if the material is titanium or stainless steel from just looking at it but that doesn't really matter

The one you buy with the full exhaust has the sticker on it. If you want the laser etched, you'd have to buy the slip-on separate and then hopefully sell off the other can (w/the sticker on it). Or find someone wanting to sell their laser etched. I had a laser etched to start with but have since sold it and went to a full system - otherwise I'd hook ya up w/one. BMW is MIGHTY proud of the laser etched so it's REALLY expensive (for just being a slip-on)!

I think BMW also sells as an official accessory a full Akrapovic system and has the logo on laser.

Yes, I just looked at a magazine today and found the exhaust. I'm going to talk to the dealer and see if they sell the exhaust only, as I can't see myself putting that much on a race ECU. Also, I heard bmw charges a hefty premium for the lasered logo akra...
