Ok Guys just finshed installig the akrapovic

sound wise
ideal = a bit lauder
crusing = same but dirent tone then oem abit deeper ( and you can hear the turbo spoool )
at WOT = loooool you can hear akrapovic saying ( help meeeeeeeeeeeee )

responsive and in lowgear , low rpm gear say in 4th or 5 th gear low speed you can feel boost come faster to already fast gt2 one
and at high rpm you can feel the kick better now

Hi,
I love how you describe the sound at WOT

by the way,

Some Titanium Exhaust color turn Blue after they got heated the first time...
is your header turn blue ?

and is the pictures above taken after install but before you start the engine for the first time with the Akrapovic ?

would you mind if you check your header now,
and see if the color on the header change to blue ?

Thanks

yes the pic is taken before we start the motor and it seem that the coloring effect happen only after the exhaust get hot sorry i dont have pic atm put ill get you pic soon ( it is dark now ) and yes the headers chang color already
ppl who would buy this exhaust remeber to get a gasket kit for headers and turbine gasket both ends
Oh and talking about headers thay feel soo light comparing with the stock one i thought that they might brake the moment i start the engien hehe

Great post Ashoof. My Akrapovic system should depart Europe early next week. Have also ordered full gasket set from Sunset Imports (USA). Did you need to remove the intercoolers during the install? I removed them when I fitted the Cargraphic system for better access. Cheers
