Finally had the Akrapovic OAP link pipes installed mated to a Cargraphic valve controller.
Definitely an improvement over the stock exhaust. Nice growl through the entire rpm range. Has some pops too. Now the Spyder feels complete. The stock Spyder exhaust was missing that aural stimulation.
I was surprised at how light the Akras are compared to the stock exhaust, about 1/3 the weight.
Valve controller keeps the wife happy, so that she does not have to hear the rumbling of the exhaust while tooling around.
Akrapovic link pipes
I just picked up my Akra link pipes last week and now I have to wait a few months for my car to arrive! I'm planning the same setup as you except I'll be doing the collar mod to always have my valves open.
The Alcantara on the shift boot looks virtually identical but the stitching is a little different as there a bluish hue compared to the white stitching on the center console (in person, pictures may not pick it up clearly) unless its been re-stitched or buying the new JCR ones.
As others mentioned it looks way better than the standard OEM shifter.
Wow. I love weight reduction. These will be the first purchase when I realize is such an amazing driver that my wheel bolts are holding me back from my best lap time ever. 😂
