You mentioned the Akra Evo torque dip which I don't get why this is the most popular/expensive exhaust and it has a drop in power?? And torque of all things? When viewed on a dyno plot its def quite apparent.. I have never driven one w/ Akra so can't comment on that but after seeing it plotted on a graph I could def see that being felt while lugging the car around
I'm leaning towards yor assessment. I know the torque dip is unpleasant but the sound and the hp gain at higher rpms (where the S65 really shines) with the Evo is delightful. I appreciate your opinion and input. Thanks!
