Akrapovic exhaust - speed limit bonus...

samedi 5 avril 2014

Had the Akrapovic system fitted to my 2014 F10 and she sounds sweet.



Last week on a dry sunny (rare for UK) Sunday morning heading to Brands Hatch for the BTCC event (it was early 7am, although in the UK the clocks had just moved forward an hour for summertime, so 6am in old time!) a favourite dual carriageway was fast approaching. The road was dead straight, level, a mile or so long, no joining roads and no other cars or police around:happyanim: (health warning - don't do this if other cars are around on publics roads)



I thought the car was limited to 155mph (250kph), but thought I would check it out and have some fun to get me in the mood for the day ahead.



Well, what an added bonus it turned out to be and not sure why or how as I hit 166mph (267kph):evil: Has anyone else experienced a similar added performance above the factory limiter setting as a result of an after-market exhaust system? Can someone explain how the limiter is meant to work, as I expected the throttle to stop once the speedo read 155mph? Just interested only - no intention of getting the dealer to correct the 'error':thumsup:
