Did you like it? Was it worth it? And why did you decide to change the setup?
Akra is on the quieter end for sure. It definitely has a low RPM "boominess", but seems to fade out at higher RPMs.

As I said before, I liked how it looked, the CF tips are seriously works of art. To me, it was not worth it because I wasn't blown away by the sound, which is the main reason why we buy exhausts right? It didn't open up the V8 sound like the MPE does. Don't get me wrong, it sounds really unique, but I only really like the Akra sound with the GT4 x-pipe.

I sold the SG car and parted out the Akra beforehand. I bought the AW and it came with the MPE already installed. I just added the test pipes recently
