Really excited as I've been trying to get a good deal on this muffler for a while. Love Akrapovic products, very high quality fit & finish. Looking forward to having those beautiful natural titanium tips poke out of the rear diffuser soon
Come on... as the OAP'S are already on, you have to try them both together for a least a little while!

Don't want to pay for the install/removal twice for no reason. OEM exhaust is 91 Db, OAPs are 95 Db, and Akra Slip On alone is 98 Db with stock GPFs. I think it will be more than loud enough

Sorry, I thought that you were doing a DIY install, just time and no money...

Congrats! The Garmin Catalyst is an amazing tool!

I found this video very helpful:


The only downside to the device is that it seems to make me even more obsessed with Lap Times, and improving them. And when you are green within a lap, it makes you push harder to finish strong, which to some degree is good, but also sometimes it can distract you and make you push a little too hard.

But seriously, it is very helpful. My Instructors at my track recommend it, and use it as a primary tool for instruction. (They prefer not to ride in the cars...)

Definitely upgrade to a 256GB MicroSD card right away, it significantly increases the amount of video you can keep on the device. I had my shop hardwire the power and hide the Camera cable in the Windshield Trim, so it is a pretty clean setup both when I am using it on the Track, or when not using it. Takes very little time now to put it in before the first session of a track day.

Picked up a set of pre-experienced Akrapovic OAP's. Now I just need to find a lift.

It can be done with just a jack and stands. You just do one side at a time. That's what I did.

Don't even have a jack for the car at the moment lol! Though it could be a fun DIY project if I buy a jack. We'll see. Just ordered the gaskets today as well, slowly all coming together.

I've seen the method of jacking up the rear of the car and sliding a jack stand under the front lift point, but do you think that process can be done in reverse? Can I jack up the front safely and slide a jack stand under the rear jacking point? I don't see why not but never hurts to ask the question.
