Akrapovič Information Thread and Gallery for 2006+ 997 Porsche Turbo
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.
Akrapovič Slip-On System for 2006-2009 Porsche 997 Turbo
The Slip-On system for the Turbo is made of our proprietary titanium and comprises a center muffler and a set of unique tailpipes. Two turbo chargers and two air intercoolers considerably increase the weight of the 997 Turbo engine in comparison to the atmospheric model. The lighter performance exhaust system unburdens the rear end and centralizes the weight in a more balanced manner. The Slip-On exhaust system dramatically changes the power-to-weight ratio with weight savings and big gains in power and torque. The turbines of the Turbo strongly absorb the sound of the engine, but we were able to compensate for this. We were able to give the otherwise quiet Turbo a sonorous sound impression.
Please choose between 2 available mandatory Link-pipe Sets (with or without catalytic converter). Slip-on is only mountable with a Link-pipe Set.

Technical Data and Information for
Akrapovič Slip-On System for 2010-2012 Porsche 997 Turbo
We begin with our very lightweight center muffler made of our proprietary titanium alloy. Replacing the stock center muffler alone reduces the weight at the back of the car. Each center muffler kit also includes beautifully handcrafted carbon fibre bumper inserts with integrated titanium exhaust tailpipes. Through careful design we were able to produce an exhaust system that has a deep and aggressive sound without being unpleasant or intrusive during normal driving conditions. The next option is to replace the stock link pipes with the optional available Akrapovič variant made from titanium and incorporating high-flow catalytic convertors. In order to increase the power beyond the limit of 500 hp, ECU reprogramming will be required.

Have an Akrapovic on my Ducati, best exhausts for motorcycles, have used them on every bike I have purchased. As far far as putting it on my 997TT, I am bit iffy.. Love the stock feel to my turbo, will keep for a long time and if one day I want to sell will be much easier as more enthusiasts are in the market for stock cars. On top of it don't want to spend the thousands for the exhaust. How much is the slip on anyway? What do you guys think? Should I do the exhaust or keep it stock? As for anyone in the market for the exhaust I cant say enough great things about Akrapovic with my experiences.

Well I intended to buy the akrapovic exhaust for my 997.1 turbo, seriously committed, nobody gave me an answer in Spain, so I went for Europipe instead.
I was more enthusiastic about weight reduction than in getting more noise out of my exhaust, but since nobody gave me an answer, I bought another brand.
Still, if I could get an answer I would consider installing this, since I'm going to keep this 997.1 turbo for it's the last manual gearbox turbo.
