I'll weight both systems when getting installed to confirm.

They say 22+ hp and 20+ tq across the RPM range, but I'll confirm that as well. I'll do before and after dynos on the same day and post them here.

Hi JMD!
How do you like your new exhaust? Would be great to get some feedback before pulling the trigger on one of the more expensive choices
Many thanks,

When we received our shipment of Akrapovic exhausts I was very pleased with the quality of the product, the parts are truly works of art.

John: A lot of us are waiting for a video of the Evolution system - standard, not Race - with footage in both Sport mode and normal mode. Hopefully you, Akrapovic, or a customer will post soon.

Looking into making this happen. Probably 3 weeks away if things work out.

Sound level on demand so as not to **** off the neighbors, delicious weight loss.

HOWEVER- need to see a dyno sheet to understand where power is made/lost. Not willing to give up the excellent 2500-4000 rpm tq in current OE set-up.

Guys, if you can wait another 3-4 weeks then you won't be disappointed

So which set up did you order? I'm have been considering the Sports Cup version for a long while, but am going to wait a few more months before deciding.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the delay. Too much work has gotten in the way... not necessarily a bad thing, but the wait to get this system installed has been killing me . Waiting on confirmation that Champion Motorsports in Pompano FL, can install it next friday, on which, before and after dynos and vids will be done. If they cant do it that day, I'll get it done at AWD Motorsports in, that firday.

I will also try to get the systems weighed, to compare.

Champion MotorSports has confirmed the appointment for next Friday. Before/After dyno results will be posted Friday night. Vids will be posted sometime during the weekend, maybe one on Friday night.
