Congrats. It looks amazing. I'm glad everything went smoothly. I'll be receiving my Akra GT3 race system soon.

wow, beautiful...
I never see the picture of the header this close...

anyway, I read on the M3post website,
that you got to be careful when installing this Titanium exhaust for the first time...

make sure you clean all the finger print before turning on the engine for the first time,
or somehow when the Titanium change color for the first time,
your finger print will stay there, and make it look ugly...
again,
I am not sure about this,
but that is what I remember reading about...

You are correct. Gloves should be used when installing to prevent oils (from hands/finger) from leaving spots in the titanium, which will change to blue/purple due to the heat.

When having my M3 Akrapovic exhaust installed, I wiped all the fingerprints off with acetone, which worked great.

Very nice Ashoof I ordered the same complete Akrapovic system yesterday. I guess we will be running the same specs…RS Tuned ECU & Akrapovic exhaust system. It will be interesting to compare the performance of the Cargraphic system which is currently installed vs the Akrapovic system. The Akrapovic system uses larger metal cats vs the ceramics in the Cargraphic. I’ll post youtube of both systems.

Special thanks to Jesus (JMD0977), thanks for the group buy opportunity.
