Seriously thinking about investing in a new exhaust system for my Mk6 GTI...

Anybody had any experience with an Akra slip on exhaust, or indeed any other makes? I know they're big money so want to know what people think..

Cheers smile

Very often aknowledged as the top quality in the motorcycling world.

But then again there are brands such as Milltek which aren't present on the bike's market...

The sound generated by the exhaust is top of the importance list for me. I'm worried a Milltek might be a bit boomy and intrusive, whereas i get the impression an Akrapovic is quite a deep, rich sound, which really comes alive when you open up on a decent stretch of road..

My biggest problem is i've never experienced either first hand! (so could well be talking out me arse!!! wink )

Youtube is how I look for my bikes' exhausts.

Milltek (of some description) http://youtu.be/I06IdjPVVss

I prefer the akra it sounds somehow 'purer' (if that makes sense). Then again I struggled to find a good video of the Milltek.

There seems to be loads of other options out there!

Yeah I agree. The Akra doesn't sound as raspy either, which is something I want to avoid!

I love the sound of the standard exhaust, but really want to enhance it. Plus having titanium tips should look awesome when they blue up.. biggrin

Worth looking at the BCS Powervalve exhausts too.
