so how safe are these tunes for the engine (in the long run)? I do like the idea of not increasing the rev limiter.

I get the flash loader tomorrow I believe. I'm going to be chomping at the bit to get my tune back from you! Lol.

I am not sure what the added HP came with the tune but I can say its def noticeable when you drive the car.

It's been a few months since the last post on this thread, so I thought I would chime in now that I installed my Akra Evo+ESS Tune. Awsome!!! I love driving my car more than ever and I cant wait to fire it up in the morning with the cold start feature engaged. I don't find it loud what-so-ever, but I do get a little bummed when the cold start stops. I wish the idle sound was forever the same as the first 20 seconds of the day...

And the answer is.......F@$k yeah.
I first loaded the ESS Akra tune without the exhaust installed per ESS recco, and it felt like it pulled a little harder for sure. The next day I installed the exhaust system and I felt a very noticable difference in throttle response and torque. The sound is perfect, not too loud, no freeway drone, nice low grumble off the start, nice loud rasp in 3rd at 6-8k, great note on the freeway when you one or two gears too high. It makes you want to drive differently and the driving experience is more pleasurable. I can't wait to drive it today, it's been a few days as i've been down with the flu. Carbon tipe looks bitchen too... BTW, I installed the BMC filter and it seems to take from the exhaust experience by adding an awkward intake rasp. I will be swapping them to verify that's what it is and will report back my findings. I will tell you that the BMC was the first mod I did and I liked the added sound I got from the intake, but now I'm not so sure it compliments the exhaust system. Also, Thanks a bunch to Roman and the guys as ESS for everything!!! |

Great Review!
Is your system the Akra slip on only or the full system? (sorry if missed that) Some before/after pictures would be great man

Just ordered the Akrapovic gt4 x pipe from iND this morning. I will be doing a video and write to compare how I like it compared to the Evo set up.
I know a lot of you love the Akra but wish it was a little louder. I am in the same boat so I thought I would give it a try with the gt4 and see how it is. I wanted to stick with Akra bc IMO they are the best and although kinda of pricey you get what you pay for so im expecting a lot out of this gt4 at its price point Which everone I dont like I will put up for sale. Stay tuned!!
