Any Innotech or Full Akra Exhaust Owners?

gixxer_kidd · 07-06-2011, 02:22 PM

Trying to decide on a new exhaust setup and was hoping someone local would have one of these setups. If you have either setup and don't mind meeting up so I can hear the setup in person, please PM me.

Sweet!

I'll take a drive up to check it out. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on this setup vs the Eis Race.

The Akrapovic sounds fantastic but it is definitely loud.

IMHO, the louder the better with a V-8

SchnellM3 · 07-06-2011, 09:05 PM

Full IPE, I'm in York Pa if you'll be at bimmerfest I'll be there. This system=

I think the Akra is on the quiet side compared to Gintani and Meisterschaft

Tuner1984 · 07-07-2011, 07:07 AM

I love the innotech exhaust and meisterschaft exhaust. Best exhausts for these cars in my opinion.

I did

That being said, I have delicate ears so it might be louder to me than others

What stuff are you talking about. I don't think I heard about this.

Interesting, I did not know this...

Heard you installed the Akra and love it. Tell me more bro! How is the sound compared to the e-race?

Would love to come hear it in person but I can't make it August 6th.

The Meisterschaft is very loud. The Akra is perfect IMO.

I heard both in person and went with Akra.

I would have to disagree. Akra is definitely one of the quieter ones from what we've heard. Eisenmann, Gintani, Meisterschaft GT2, Borla, and Remus just to name a few are much louder.

Personally, I'm a big fan of the Remus w/ Eisenmann connecting pipes

What's up Greg? It's Jeff - It was nice meeting you the other day. I'm glad to hear you got the Akra installed. We have to meet up sometime; I gotta hear this! Maybe I should go this route than getting the Challenge Sport Xpipe + my Eisenmann Race.

Thanks for the review. Hopefully I can make it up to CT and check it out in person one of these days. After driving with my e-race for 2 yrs and being use to it, I feel like I'm driving an electric car right now with the stock exhuast. It's so damn quiet.

I have to admit I kinda of like it being quiet, but I know that will wear off in a few days. Akra should make a valve system like the Innotech. lol

Thanks, I think I've watched those vids over and over, but like you said it's not representative of real life. Hopefully I'll run into you sometime this summer.

I'm sure in a good way, but I can't imagine it sounding better than the e-race. The e-race actually had a nice aggressive sound to it. It would of been great if it had less highway drone.

damn...good sounding + weight savings + amazing quality + real added power with the full system, it sounds like the "perfect" setup.
