First of all, that cold start is demonically loud. I have no idea what’s up with that, it’s like a trip back to a 1970 motor sport rally or something. You either love it or hate it, but I LOVE it.

Otherwise with valve open and revving it sounds way better than PSE. I will likely get it, but not immediately.
That **** gets old real quick. I daily mine so perhaps that plays a huge roll. But I could not take the ear blasting harmonic drone as it warmed up. Good lord that was just obnoxious to the MAX.

She would NOT tolerate the SOUL cats sounds I am sure! LOL
You made the right choice! Trust me! lol. Its so strange how different the Akra sounds with stock cats vs sports cats. I mean with the PSE, the sport cats made it like 5-10% louder if that. On the Akra, sport cats made it dam near 3x as loud if I had to guess.

Yeah, I definitely was astounded by how loud that cold start is.

But I was also disappointed..........that it ended.

If the engine ALWAYS sounded that way it would be the most rad thing ever. However, admittedly it would be very hard to not annoy your neighbors, unless you lived far out in the countryside

I'm actually hitting a bit of a rough patch right now in my side business, so I can't spare the luxury of spending thousands on an exhaust, but hopefully later in the year or next year

I most likely missed your post of the cold start with the combo. Would you mind reposting or directing me to it. I’d like get a sense of just how loud the combo is.

Thanks

i didn’t post a video. You can’t tell in video anyhow. This is something you feel.


I did a rating scale. 0-10

STock porsche sport exhaust aka PSE = 5 cold start.

stock PSE with sport cats = 6.5.

akra with stock cats = 7

akra with sport cats 12+++++++

Did anyone confirm that we can still use the OEM oval exhaust tips with Akra?

You can! They all attach to the bumper and float in front of the actual exhaust outbound ports.

That’s my understanding as well. I think you actually have to remove the bumper to install the fake exhaust tips, so keeping the stock may make installation cheaper since you should be able to install the slip on exhaust with the bumper in place.
