Dyno numbers and genuine sound clips should make this color discussion go away. If their previous products are any indication, this is going to be a spanking setup. People in the know will look at those "mismatched" color tips and go "Oh **ck, it has THAT exhaust...."

either way I'll order akra. Quality and rep worth the $$$$. I think anodized tips will be cool but agree black would be nice option

I doubt this very much.....specially when there are options already on the market that offer this little detail that really complements the looks of the GT4. I'm not questioning the finish or quality, just that it should also complement the looks department or give the owner choices.

Really love it when the tips change with the temperature. I attached a photo just in case anyone else isn't aware of what CAlexio is referring to.

I hate these type of announcements with a misleading title even more so when they include pictures of a product for what looks like a different car model as well.

I have modded high-end cars with aftermarket "slip on" exhaust, including Eisenmann and Akropovic. My 2 cents = performance gains not worth it for the $$$ spent. You save a few pounds (go on a diet) and pick up a few hp and tq - that's it. So for $5kish you no "real" performance improvement. If you are going to actually gain power, the cats have to go, which I will not do because of emissions tests and PASSING so I can drive the car legally on the street.

Not to mention with this brand expect at least double the price of the current systems that are available which are already quite expensive.
