Akrapovic Titanium Exhaust

[Wills2]

I'm thinking of getting one of these for the C2S, I hear they are quite expensive but give an amazing sound.

Does anyone have any experience of them?

Be good to know where you can buy them from too?

£4k just for the back boxes..

Sit down, take in a large Whiskey and prepare yourself for a shock!

Full system is £10k I believe

Makes the Porsche PSE at £2K seem reasonable. Or the H&S/S&C mod at £300 even better!

Chris Harris has just fitted this to his 997.1 GT3. Says he will share some audio files soon, so might be worth keeping an eye on his twitter feed.

I wanted the car to lose some weight, perhaps make a little more noise. I now have the best sounding machine ever produced by a human being.

I'll stick some sound files up later.

There are some Akrapovic GT3 videos on You Tube

If you give Craig in our workshop a call he can price up exactly what you need.

I had a quick peak at the Akrapovic website and it would appear that they are made of a special alloy of Titanium and Unobtainium known as Fookinel.

There is a (slight) question mark over the durability of the titanium. The stock 997GT2 rear silencers which are made by Akrapovic as OEM have reportedly cracked in a few cars, this may be limited to turbo applications with their higher temperatures ?

Morning Chaps,
Akrapovic exhausts do sound amazing.
Regarding their durability in Turbo applications - I would recommend that those interested in any exhaust get it Ceramic Coated. It can be very cheap – contact Zircotec.

If anyone is looking at spending such a vast amount of money on an exhaust, I know a company who will be building bespoke Inconel exhausts, ceramic coated for the same cost of an Akrapovic. PM me if anybody is interested.

This sounds great..
