Wait for Akrapovic or get something else?

There are a few if us here that has this exhaust on pre-order for a few months and they say it can take up to 6 weeks before we get ours. And that was info straight from Akrapovic last Friday.

I hear you! I have my doubts too! We shall see. It would be nice if the dealer was getting the information correct but who knows? I am not going to hold my breath. I am not a particularly lucky person anyway. So there is that factor.

Lol, I never have any luck either so I wouldn't be surprised if you got yours in 10 days!

Well, I was hopeful - but I am still waiting just like you said I would be. This forum always seems to have a better read on stuff than the dealers. Apparently, most of the exhaust is ready to go except for some mounting hardware - latest story anyway.

Anyone got one yet? It should be worth waiting for.

Still waiting for mine too. I haven't bothered researching why lately since I've been so busy at work but maybe it is time to talk to Akrapovic again and see what's going on.

As long as no one else gets theirs am I'm fine with waiting!

Sounds like they sent out quite a load last week. So I'm guessing we won't be alone...

Definitely post some clips when you get it done! I've lurking to pull the trigger on the GT Haus GTC system. The sound clips Akrapovic provided I'm hoping don't do the real system justice. I really want the Akrapovic to be a large improvement over stock. I currently have MPE w/catless downpipe and need more!

I will install it on Monday so Agamemnon will beat me too it.

anelson524 · 07-02-2013, 07:24 AM

It seems to me that the Akrapovic is really more bang for your back compared to the GTC, let me know if I'm correct.

The Akrapovic is a full catback with carbon fiber tips for $3,170 vs. the GTC which is $2,647 but does not include the Section 1 AR Pipe($698) or Carbon Fiber Tips($598).
