Cheers,
For OEM, yes. For Akra Evolution, I don't know for a fact but my assumption is yes, since the valves are controlled by software that is not changed with exhaust replacement.

The purple/black combo is superb! Way better than purple / silver in my opinion

Thanks. I think the silver is more elegant and the black more menacing.

Thanks. I wish I could take credit but I can't. It is very similar to what is very well detailed in the link below, except for one small exception that one can easily figure out. Following the directions, the whole swap took me about 30 minutes. Instructions for removing the chrono/speaker trim can be found in MAcarbon's website, under the 991 chrono CF cover.

Wow! Super awesome specifications. You have the best looking RS I have seen. Thanks for the fantastic pictures. Congratulations !

Amazing Akra Race exhaust! It's great that there's no CEL from them with the O2 sensor sleeve. Do you think that once you open up the throttle a bit after running in that you might see CEL?

I don't know (hoping not) although my mechanic tells me you are more likely to trip the CEL when the car is cold and that when the cats are hot on track, it is not likely to do so. Keeping my fingers crossed. Only have 180 miles on it.

Just done with this. Replacing the exhaust did not require taking the bumper off nor will installing rear view camera so I didn't want to unnecessarily remove the rear bumper. With the aid of painter's tape and lots of caution/patience, I was able to remove the reflectors (impossible to not break them in the process) and replace them with the painted ones. Not a scratch. I like the painted reflectors because from a distance (last picture), the rear looks cleaner and wider. I did not use that big screw driver, BTW and yes, my garage is cluttered.
