GT-R update: Akrapovic exhaust

[Godzilla]

I have to say I don't often get excited about exhaust systems (last one was the Tubi Style I bought for my old F355 Spider), but the titanium Akrapovic I have on my R35 is a work of art!

Corrr that's a bit tasty

Akro are the best in the exhaust business as far as I'm concerned (with a heavy bias to bikes).

You bought it then? Well done

Any sound clips of it?

Edit - found one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2taih7WQrgE&fea...

Was that the circuit with the supercharged Audi R8 that you said was mentally fast in Evo??

What size is that pipe work throughout, looks tiny?!

Had one on my 600RR, awesome bit of kit!

Condiderably bigger than standard. 86mm I believe.
If you're judging it by the size of the tailpipes, they're massive, about 5" in diameter each!

Sounds fantastic! GTRs are far too quiet as standard!

What is the dB on that out of interest? Can you get on all trackdays with it?

It measured 102db static at Combe last week, but Combe tends to read a bit higher than other circuits.
Will be interesting to see if it will get on at Bedford now. It was marginal on drive-by with the Milltek Y pipe, but I think it might actually be a tad quieter on boost now.
