That sounds much different than the sound clip Akra has on their website. This one does not sound nearly as good.

I don't care for the sound in the above clip. Would like to hear the OPF delete pipe only.

The audio sounds clipped and or distorted. Probably a iPhone mic.

The audio in that YT vid doesn't sound right. Akra site has clips for slip on and link pipes and just slip on.

Akra site clips are a very good representation of the sound. I have the JCR non-silenced valved exhaust and the sound is more exotic / higher pitch and louder than the Akra slip on. I think the linkpipes add rawness, higher pitch and volume.
Next step for me is link pipes, I just hope it won‘t drone.

You're correct on all counts. I had link pipes and slip on with my GT3. Presuming the GT4/Spyder will conceptually be the same.

If you are referring to the GT4MF clip... I agree that sounds horrid. Sluggish, bloated, mufffled. No crispness, no blat. Not sure what combo this is but hands down the worst I have heard.

Agreed, but I gotta say - maybe I’m just too damned old for this **** now, but I really don’t hear a lot of difference between the two clips on the Akra website.

I think that's the point. The 9A2 Evo sounds good, just muffled. It's about bringing out more of the same sound, at a few extra decibels.

I would be very surprised if there was any sound difference comparing the over the axel pipes between manufacturers.
