I've been torn on exhausts for a while but you just sold me on the Akra.

This is simply some incredible piece of work...
By far, that is the best looking full exhaust I have seen.

Sweet system. Can't wait to see some driving videos. It should sound great when on the road. This must be the nicest full exhaust system available.

Looks sick, but man those jack stands are sketchy. I wouldn't get underneath that.

Awesome!!! Thanks for a great write up, and fantastic pics! Akra is the real deal.

If you have time, take a vid of an acceleration run.

Nothing sketchy at all. I've worked under many a car being supported by jack stands. They are placed properly so I doubt anything short of an earthquake will knock the car off of 4 jack stands.
This on the other hand, sketchy..

Sadly, I've seen plenty of people crawl under cars that were supported by a jack only.

Guillotine waiting to happen. People, just push the wheels you remove under the car as a safety.
