Did you just change the evolution system or did you also get the links?

The exhaust sounds bloody amazing now that it is "burned in". The videos doesn't do it justice at all since it was brand new with a few miles on it.
Can you record another?

It is sold as a complete kit.

As I look at Akrapovic's Website I see two things. Evolution line and Link Pipe Set.

Do you need both of them or does the evolution line include both? Any issues with CEL errors?

If you look at both products you'll see that the other is mandatory. And when you order the exhaust you get everything in one box. So the "Evolution line" includes both. At least it was like that when I ordered, then they didn't even have the link pipe as a separate product on their website.

No CEL errors since you don't replace anything vital. The rear exhaust flap is in use also with the Akrapovic and the catalyst is connected in front of the link pipe so it is still there.

Hands down best sounding exhaust for this platform yet. There are a few cheaper options but this one really sounds great. That 2nd and 3rd video sold me, just gotta space out my purchases so my wife won't get mad lol.

Absolutely top sound!
Do you also have the Performance kit installed?
If so, have you had the car dyno'ed yet?

Wondering what the Akra will sound like if the cat was changed with a 200-cell!?! At least this is my plan.

Not yet. Might add the PPK next spring, I haven't decided yet. No dyno, I just did it for the sound. And to be honest you don't want it to sound more than it does now.

I promised to do a new video, so I'll try to do that soon.

Thanks!
I ´ve got the PPK..
About to order the Akra exhaust. and as the downpipe is pretty cheap I'll get one as well, but WHO would have the best catted 200-cell?

Are you saying that if you aren't 18 the Akra sounds "enough" as it is?

Yes, you wouldn't want it to sound any higher/more. The video I took here are with 5km on the exhaust. It has opened up a lot more now and sounds really nice, especially in sport mode.

You wouldn't want any more attention that this!

Hey,

I've just installed my Akrapovic and I have a question regarding the valve.

When is your valve supposed to be open? To you have a valve on both exhausts?

My valve appears to be open at all times? I wonder if it was incorrectly installed.

Please advice.

it should open with sportmodes or 3k+Revs
you have the same software as stock so it won't change from stock

Exactly, it behaves just like stock since it is uses the same logic. If if is open all the time you have done something wrong.

I'm still flipping coins about Akrapovic or Mperformance exhaust
it's illegal to put non-OEM mufflers in our country..(f popos)
{ popos are able to pull your car for this reason for 1-3months }
thats why am leaning toward Mperf but Akrapovic is better because its
full system plus reversible.

Man every time I see these video clips of Rossifumi's car, I can't believe how sweet it sounds. Dying to hear it in person!

As I look through the exhaust, the left one, I can see a valve leaflet that is angled at 45*. I assume this means the valve is open? I wonder what installation I've done that may have been erroneous.
