Agree with you on this... I used to have a Fabspeed product once and I ended up removing it, awful resonation at certain rpm, unbelievable mistake with their "pro" tune, what a mess .. never again

That’s the A-Workx GT4, the same car that’s in the official Akra pre launch pic. Look at the wing

Akra tend to play it very safe, lovely quality systems and products but they rarely stray far away from the OEM design, if at all.

Which aftermarket exhaust sounds the best to you so far?

None of them sound good to me yet. Need to hear them in person though.

That stock video above sounds great to me.

Sounds decent inside the car in that video and outside at high RPM, albeit a little muffled. Videos I’ve watched of sound with particulate filter delete pipes coupled with stock exhaust seem crisper/clearer without being too much louder, which is what I’d want.

So the Cup 2's are almost done, are you considering trying the Dunlop's now?

We have the Connect tyre to run, then onto Cup2R which we have to test. Dunlop really doesn't compare to the Michelin.

I agree, however in my noobiness I'm confused. That's clearly a car with the GPF in it yet it sounds good. People have complained about it and the US spec cars won't have it so they should even sound better than this video...?

Archimedes has been asking for an onboard, hence the post. Lots of exterior videos of the system installed on our car now 'Most' tend to love it
