Default RS 4.0 w/Akrapovic Exhaust

Unfortunately no info regarding which Akra system but it sounds great. Nice color combo on the RS too.



No Akra same track:

No it's not
Mine is white and not in Switzerland.
This is schmitz.gstaad's 4.0 in Meteor Gray. He had a helmet and a race suit by Stand21 painted to match the car.
The system is full Evolution, including the headers and side mufflers.
Incidentally, I will go with the side muffler delete using Porsche Motorsport link pipes, and original Ti muffler.
Best, w

That is the same setup I have on my 4.0. Glorious sound. And with the valving I can quiet it down to sneak through the local neighborhood.

Between the weight loss, 100 cell cats, smoothed out ports on the headers and weight loss, the Akrapovic is worth every penny. An awesome classy company in a world of mediocrity.

Sounds really nice indeed and yes it is Mike's car in Gstaad.
Our cars look a bit like twins as mine is seal grey with black rims.

have been told by my OPD that fitting an Akra would void the warranty...is this right??

anything after the cats should be ok. If your planning on running the whole system with the headers then it may void the warranty
