Also Akra is not the ideal exhaust for this car. The best is Kline or JCR or BC Fabs... with Headers. You get anyone of these full exhausts (cat back, OAP and Headers) and a valve controller or collar mod... you will NEVER complain about the sound on a GT4/Spyder ever again (or go back to the sound of a Turbo car!)...
I beg to differ...

Well... the numbers would beg to differ as Akra is not as well sold as Kline. Plus Akra in not an X pipe design so its not going to sound great... But hey if you like Akra Im happy, though I expected more from you, Larry!

I forgot this is the internet and someone's opinion is an irrefutable fact, and your opinions are always right ... my bad.

Not really an 'opinion'. Kline outsells Akra by a wide margin for the GT4/Spyder AND the Akra is not X-pipe soooo.. The few people who have started with Akra usually end up removing it and going with another solution. You are correct that I am not privy to all the sales figures but it seems clear that Akra is not really in the exhaust mod conversation any longer not that these carshave been out for awhile...
