I think you've got me sold Ara, and thanks for sending me that info on TS. I got an email from the German distributer this morning, and I think I'm gonna pull the trigger.

sard · 04-28-2009, 02:18 PM

what exactly is this for? it's not shown on the akrapovic website and looks better without it.

Akara1 · 04-28-2009, 02:22 PM

It just looks like a bracket to strengthen the pipes. You won't see it once it's on the car.

I saw Akara 1's akrapovic exhaust in person when he installed it, that thing is a peice of art.

I got mine from FVD Brombacher USA, office is in Florida, I worked thru Rhonda.

STALKER · 04-29-2009, 10:41 AM

Any drone?

Akara1 · 04-29-2009, 12:30 PM

Maybe a very slight drone, but it's pretty low in the rev range, maybe around 2200rpm.

M3V8Power · 04-29-2009, 11:28 PM

Did anybody make any experience concerning CEL with this exhaust

M3V8Power · 05-05-2009, 02:51 PM

I did receive my car yesterday and picked up my Akra exhaust also directly at Boston Logan airport - that was the quickest shipment I have ever seen! Thank you Ralf!
Exhaust was mounted today - it´s just awesome. 1+++
Can highly recomment this contact!

Mines on the way. Wanted to get from Imran but he only have it in 3 weeks time. So i got it from Ralf. You cant go wrong with either one. Ralf has been nothing short of perfect ordering through him. I cant wait to get mine fitted on.

Those with Akra, is it really loud? On what scale of loud would you rate it?

Akara1 · 05-06-2009, 11:48 AM

It's not very loud at all. With the windows up and the music on, you will really only notice it at low RPM.

Thanks for the help Imran. I needed the exhaust urgently cause I need to get rid of my old one.

Thanks for your professional help and hope to deal with you soon.

Inside the cabin it´s real comfortable - I heard from outside it is much louder than stock! But I made only 300miles so far...

islandsnow · 05-06-2009, 03:43 PM

Does anyone have any sound clips of the exhaust and any dash error's?

Should've been more specific, does anyone have a sound clip in motion on the street?
