Default Akrapovic Titanium GT3 Exhaust

Hi Guy's, I did a search on Akrapovic exhausts and came up with a few post's about motorcycle exhaust's. I was just wondering what everyone thinks about their Titanium GT3 Exhaust??





Here is a video so you can hear what it sounds like...

I didnt know they did car exhausts but if they are like their bike exhausts they are the business. I will stick with my SharkWerks though...

The main guy being interviewed said that it is half the weight of a comparable steel system/exhaust. And since it deletes the side mufflers, I would think the overall weight loss should be around 45 lbs vs. the stock system.

I personally would not mind having it since I have no mufflers whatsoever.

hey rhonda... tried a design like that on ours way, way back when we were experimenting... big drop in back pressure but also created a nice big hot spot So a loss of torque down low;( but I do like Ti!

They are actually the OEM GT2 exhaust supplier to porsche, I'm sure the stuff is top shelf. I understand they are producing a 997tt exhaust as well.

Mike, it's great that you have maintained a sense of humor despite your accident and the resulting loss of your leg!

tirerack doesnt show proper fitment for RS... where would you go to order them with proper offset?

ok I called tirerack, and though their website doesnt show them as available, apparently you can custom order....
fronts as: 19x8.5 at 21.6 lbs
and rears as 19x12 at someting close

Sounds like they are lighter than OEM ?
Does 19x12 fit at back? is original.. 19x11? or 19x10?
