Remind us which turbos these are? Base, S, or GTS-Powerkit? I'm sure you mentioned it in a previous post...

The T should essentially be the same tune for Base. Did actually speak with a tuner or the person at the front desk who may or may not have a clue what the T is and is just searching COBB's own webpage?

Psorcery: I also support your position that the Akra on our 991.2's does very little performance wise, but the sound is oh so sweet.

I think with out the cats its possible to not have gained that much. It is a beautiful system with the flat carbon valance. Sound is not that much louder then the stock T pipe but i am happy. My guess is 15HP but we will see next week. I ll post vids & pics

Hey Ukkid,

Sorry for the confusion there. We DO officially support the 2019 year models. Worst case is that we find a new ROM when your ECU is sent in but we can normally quickly add support for it if this situation occurs. Thanks!

^ I read somewhere that you folks may eventually be able to write over the ECU without having to take it out of the car - true or possible?

Performance gains for Akrapovic's Titanium Slip-On Muffler are: +19 hp || + 28.5 ft-lb || -9.6 lbs

Many customers purchase the Akra for the performance but the majority purchase because of all the other positives that come with it - artful looks, masterful craftsmanship, durability, & quality.

I have more of these units coming back in-stock later this month.

i might have missed it but what is the resolution for the hard fault code the OP experienced after install. I have a T on order and have been researching the Cobb option intensely. It seemed promising but I am not prepared to have a permanent ECU fault code. That would make trade in or resale very difficult.
I am also wondering about future updates that eliminates the need for removing the ECU.

Its a little tricky. It is something like, if you do Cats only you get 19HP. If you did Cans only you get 14HP. But if you do both, you get 23HP. So obviously, only one of them picks up the low hanging fruit.

So if you did the Cats first and get the 19HP, when adding cans you only pick up 4HP. But a lot of nice tone and eye candy. I am thinking of doing the Cats first. I like the idea of 300 cell and NO cell lights. I don't want it too loud or Stinky. (My Catless M4 with full Akra, I put up with for a coupe of years, but it did stink and it was insanely loud. - I'm more mature now.....Apparently Hahaha. )

But one think people forget to take into account is, When you screw the boost up. They may be meager gains now, but when you start packing a lot more in, and a lot more needs to exit, you will reap the rewards. STAGE 2 COBB not out yet. But with more boost and eventually Stage 3 the Akra will come into its own.

Can the ECU be remapped to OEM condition? Has anyone had to dispute the mod ona Porsche warranty claim? How do you pull the ECU?
