Akrapovic Evolution Review+Dyno+Pics

dawgdog · 04-10-2010, 08:38 PM

My Akrapovic Evolution system with deleter should arrive next week. Can't wait.

STALKER · 04-10-2010, 08:46 PM

Anyone wrapped their system near the diff like the BMW GT4 does?
My midpipe is coming soon and I think I want to wrap some of the parts to avoid heat damage.

Yup, the deleter is still working. I have 2400 miles on the exhaust now. I got a CEL twice for increased emissions in this time span. Both times it went off by itself in about 20 minutes.

I was thinking of doing this, just haven't gotten around to it. I don't think this is a really pressing matter, but probably better to do in the long run.

I noticed you have the full Akra system and just went by the powerchip tune, how does it feel now compared to before getting the software uploaded? I'm looking at heading down the same road with getting an Akra full system and the powerchip but I'm goin backwards getting the powerchip first hopefully this next upcoming weekend.

The car feels faster, but I don't trust my butt dyno. I will take the car to a real dyno this week and compare to my baseline to see what the gains are.

I wouldn't dare post a dyno without it!

Is the deleter included now, or an option?

Optional.
It think it runs around $400 to $500.

Personally, I bought some clamp on heat shields from IND...just put them on yesterday.

Nice job. I wish more people documented their expensive mods in this way! But where is the POST Powerchip dyno?

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
