Fourth I had this setup mated to an Active Autowerke rear section which was mean and agressive; I felt alot more power in the midrange compared to Akra rear section and alot better sound.

I heard your clip you posted of your Akra & AA - It sounded good. Did you ever get any Dynos with the AA rear section compared to the Akra?

Like you mentioned, the Akra slip on is around the same db level as stock to keep it within TUV & I'm thinking one of the best performance oriented exhaust packages you can buy and stay within noise standards, agree? Not sure if there are many others out there that can match the weight reduction & gains. Of course it comes at a price - I'm an Akra fan - Just haven't made the plunge yet. Maybe in the spring after more R&D is done -
