Default Akrapovic Exhaust

Question. Will an exhaust by Akrapovic from a 06 4S fit my 06 C2 and be the correct performance mod.

thanks

I didn't know they made a 997.1 exhaust, do you have any more information?

I don't recall seeing an Akra for the non-gt3 .1 cars. Only the GT3 got an akra for .1

I assume you are asking about this:
https://www.akrapovic.com/en/car/pro...d=14&yearId=40
...for the 997.2.
My friend has the 997.2 GT3 one on his 964 C4, so anything is possible.
I think it would take work to get this to happen though because the exhaust and the bumper is different on the 997.2 from the 997.1.
It would also be tuned different, which is why I wasn't all for my friend putting the GT3 exhaust on his 964 + the exhaust exits in the center, so he just has 2 weird empty areas in his bumper now where the old tips came out but car goes baaarrraaapppp.

They have mufflers on their site for the 997.2. https://www.akrapovic.com/en/car/pro...d=14&yearId=40

Is it just the mufflers? Did they make any modifications to fit them?
The oem 997.1 base and S mufflers only differ on the exit pipe diameter for the tips.

Oh man. That’s a lot of info. I am not sure. I sound like a moron at this point. I’ll have to get some more info. But sounds like an option I won’t go with. Too many un knows. Let me see what I can find out from the seller

One thing I will add is I saw that Darrin at FD clearly keeps the 3.6 and 3.8 cans separate + 997.1 from 997.2 separate, so there must be a clear reason for that. I am not saying it is impossible but it might take modding a brand new Ti exhaust, which a lot of people do not have the skill or stomach to do.

Depends on if it's from a 3.6L or a 3.8L.

The differences between the 997.1


vs

997.2
