GT2 RS comes with Akrapovic exhaust from the factory.

Whoopsy I hope you give preference for the gold wheels. I know you like black, but black wheels I think has been around for some time now and quite many. Plus in the launch car it has gold wheels. Either color would make your car sinister looking. Just my $0.02.

Drive safe,

Been doing back and forth between black wheels and gold wheels every week for the last month!

I love the white gold wheels. I hate the white gold with Yellow calipers. I know it's picky. I had them with the 997 gt2rs. White gold and speed Yellow couldn't be a worse combination imo.

Well akrapovic manufactures the ti backboxes for Porsche since the 997. Now, this is what it has been said in both sides of the pond, idk how could I find proof for this.

And maybe Porsche doesn't advertise because it's a Porsche design and not an akrapovic design. Plus akrapovic and the vw group have a very good relationship. Plus akrapovic has the economy of scale regarding Ti much more than Porsche I would say, plus Porsche doesn't build every car component in house.
So the claim that akrapovic manufactures the Ti backboxes isn't that farfetched at all, makes more sense than being built in house

I googled

https://www.google.se/search?client=...PzC-mD3AOr3a9g

And found stuff like this:

"You are correct. Akrapovic is the OEM manufacturer for the 997 GT2 exhaust system."

Good point for 997 GT2.

But this doesnt look Akra at all... on Gt2RS

Akrapovic started manufacturing car exhausts after Porsche commissioned the 997 GT2 exhaust to them, after that they have not manufactured another exhaust for Porsche Factory, only aftermarket for their models.

For the rest of the titanium exhaust as "first fit" on Porsche cars they are not made in house by them (could have changed in with the last 991.2 models), neither made by Akrapovic.

Facts, not hearsay

I agree. That is how I configured mine.

Mustard and Ketchup pictures posted by Kobalt appeals best for me. It highlights the carbon fiber tidbits.







Drive safe.
