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.

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

And found stuff like this:
"You are correct. Akrapovic is the OEM manufacturer for the 997 GT2 exhaust system."

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.

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
