Hi Leo,

You probably already know this but the europipe exhaust comes complete with high flow 100 cell cats incorporated with the muffler design. The Akrapovic comes in a couple of variants, (1) muffler only (2) optional high flow catalytic convertors + muffler

If you want real power gains and not just a sound improvement you NEED the high flow cats so make sure if you find a used Akrapovic it is the cats+mufflers. I think a used EP1 will be similarly priced to an Akro muffler only, but the akro muffler+cats will be quite a bit more expensive than a europipe I believe

good luck with your search

Actually, since Leo is in FL, no cats. Then have the CEL turned off for cats. That alone will give him some decent power and throttle response.

No, if it's not the cause of an issue. Also it depends on the dealer and their relationship. My car is currently at the dealer and being repaired coolant leak under full cpo warranty. You can see my Fabspeed exhaust in this pic.

Have to have it programmed. If you went softronic, ask them to update the file.

Good luck...

I have 2 years of warranty and i already change the exhaust, don't worry your warranty is good to go if you change your exhaust...

Good luck......once you start it is hard to stop the mod train. Good luck on the search and be patient. Used ones do come up for sale but check often as they usually sell quickly.
