It looks to be good quality, but a bit cartoonish

They make such beautiful exhausts. Love the hardwood floor in the garage also!

It looks weird to me how there are much smaller tips inside the bigger ones.

Nice...but the exhaust tips are huge. Doesn't suit the vette.

It looks great until the silly tips are added. I suppose you need something large to hide the servo motors and what not, but there must be a better solution. I'm sure it sounds great though.

I know what you mean but it just reads funny. Sound cannot be seen only heard. You probably meant a video of the car running with that exhaust system.

Here is what you get with Titanium Evolution system per Akrapovic. We were going to put it on a dyno next weekend but unfortunately our customer will be out of town.

- plus 13,7 HP (at 3.450 rpm)
- plus 28,4 Nm (at 3.460 rpm)
- minus 15,3 kg


Both Titanium and Carbon Fiber tips are 125mm

Tips actually look really nice in person on this car ... The car is very low and you don't see anything except the tips ...
