All these opf deletes should accomplish the same thing. Akra ones are heat shielded and titanium. Should have a nice resonance and roughly same price as others...
im waiting to make a video full kline rear, vs soul resonated race, vs probably just valveless+ opf delete (not sure on last guy’s final exhaust spec but he will prob just have a valve delete in oct when these are modded).

Are these available to order now?

$1731 for titanium pipes is cheap. They have the opf monitor little dohickeys on them on the akrapovic website wonder if the us versions will be the same.

Just bare in mind that Akrapovic are essentially buying their customers with the pricing for their link pipes. A loss leader to drive sales into the rear silencer, diffuser etc and more importantly for them, away from other competitors full stop. Large companies with large marketing budgets do this time to time.
You only have to look at their pricing for a simple 991 GT3 centre bypass and compare the amount of material and fab time (most likely less than 50% in both cases) along with the added heat protection ($400-$600) to figure out for yourself as to what the true normal retail price would be for their link pipes.
Our pricing is consistent throughout as otherwise customers would call into question how you arrive at the price and just making it up as you go along isn't particularly what I feel is appropriate. It's important that customers can see the value in each and every product that you offer. When companies charge a large premium due to the brand of car the part is being installed on, that annoys people in the long run. No one wants to feel as if they're being ripped off or paying over the odds.
Which brings me to the point that im making. Soul pricing on their link pipes is VERY fair for the material and workmanship they're offering. This is not a case of companies who already have link pipes out there and released charging over the odds, this is a company coming in with a price so aggressive that they're losing money in order to buy back part of a market that's been slipping through their fingers for some time.
If we sold link pipes with heat protection at the Akrapovic price we would be losing serious money each sale. Sucks for us but great for owners in the market for cheap high quality link pipes

@SToronto do you have any leads whether the link pipe requires ECU reprogramming for Canada and USA? Also do you know if their exhaust valves can be controlled with PSE button? The description on their website is not clear.
From their site, looks like the ECU requires remapping if you have a OPF car. NA cars do not have OPF sensors etc, just the pipe housing so I wouldn't think NA cars require ECU remap. From past, I believe these valves can be controlled by the PSE with OE programming, to be confirmed. They have a sound kit option that allows override of PSE button to always keep valves open.

I didn't inquire but those are questions I have when the parts are officially ready. Apparently Akra is very certain they will fit but won't give the approval until they test fit at their R&D centre in Slovenia. They don't have a Spyder yet to test on.

Does anyone know if the Akra Link pipes can be used with the stock OEM muffler?
I’d be interested in just installing the link pipes with the stock muffler, but don’t want the full slip on system (at this time).
On the Akra website it’s not clear if this is possible.
