Akrapovič Information Thread and Gallery for Porsche 997 GT3 & GT3RS - 3.6, 3.8 & 4.0
AKRAPOVIČ EXHAUST SYSTEMS
Akrapovič, the benchmark in the exhaust manufacturing industry. The brand is synonymous with the highest level of design, performance enhancement and the creation of an unmistakable deeply resonant exhaust sound. Akrapovič products are designed and manufactured for performance vehicles by a passionate and highly-skilled workforce of over 800 employees using the latest technology, processes and finest materials. The Racing R&D department works with dozens of racing teams with over 90 world championships.
Please note, the 3.6L, 3.8L, and 4.0L part numbers are the same for each vehicle, and the information listed below applies to each of those vehicles with the exception that the 3.6L cannot use the Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser which is also noted below.
Akrapovič Slip-On System
The Akrapovič Slip-On system is based on the same layout as the original exhaust system of the GT3 with valve control. The Slip-On contains a titanium muffler with two double round tailpipes. The muffler is easily installed on the original exhaust system. The Akrapovič Slip-On makes the GT3 more powerful and lighter, even though the exhaust system is not replaced entirely. The sound of its six-valve engine is also noticeably improved. The Slip-On exhaust system offers weight reduction in the rear of the Porsche and an increase in power. Two tailpipes, 100 mm in diameter, make it clear that the Akrapovič Slip-On system is no ordinary exhaust. The unique look is completed with a mandatory rear carbon fiber lip (not applicable to the 3.6L).
Technical Data and Information For Slip-On System
Akrapovič Sports Cup System
The Akrapovič Sports Cup exhaust system is based on the Porsche Sports Cup rules, which state that the original exhaust manifold with integrated catalytic convertors must be retained. We therefore developed a performance and weight-optimized titanium end muffler with appropriate link pipes as the connecting piece to the manifold. This kind of construction reduces the weight dramatically in comparison to the original exhaust system. The weight distribution of the vehicle is improved considerably because of the weight reduction in the area behind the engine and the rear axle, which has an extremely positive effect on the handling. The look of this system with a deep racing sound is completed with a set of titanium tailpipes and the mandatory rear carbon fibre lip.
When installing Akrapovič aftermarket optional link pipes with sports catalytic converters or without catalytic converters, which are developed for use on closed tracks only, remapping the ECU is mandatory. When installing Akrapovič aftermarket exhaust system that was developed for use on closed tracks, we recommend remapping the ECU in order to prevent potential check engine light warning signals.
