Akrapovic for the 971 Panamera Turbo Now Available for order
Now available and in stock! The worlds greatest exhaust manufacturer has a system for the worlds greatest sedan. Akrapovic leads the industry in every measurable category for exhaust products; there is no match to their quality and sound. They just released their full Evolution catback system for the 971 Panamera Turbo and it is no exception to their industry leading standards. This system is full titanium and replaces the midpipes, rear mufflers, and tips. This stunning system is made completely from high-grade titanium. It includes parts cast in the company’s in-house foundry, featuring an active X connection and an additional pair of exhaust valves behind the rear mufflers, designed to provide optimal control of the exhaust sound for the best aural enjoyment. The system has been perfectly tuned to deliver the very best sound experience in all modes – enormous effort was invested to give it a sporty, deep higher-frequency V8 sound with an unmistakable Akrapovič character, while keeping it smooth and eliminating any drone for maximum everyday comfort. By using the optional Akrapovič Sound Kit, the driver can choose between a loud racy sound or a quieter note for long-distance driving, regardless of the mode chosen for the vehicle. The look of the Evolution system can also be further enhanced by adding four round titaniumor carbon-fibre tailpipes. An increase in performance and torque through a broad rpm range and a significant weight savings of 40% makes this a very serious performance upgrade. With optimized gas flow and reduced back pressure, it allows limitless tuning options. Akrapovic Panamera Turbo 971 Evolution Line Exhaust Stock Weight: 67.4lbs Akrapovic Weight: 39.9lbs https://d1sfhav1wboke3.cloudfront.ne...056&height=594 https://d1sfhav1wboke3.cloudfront.ne...056&height=594 https://d1sfhav1wboke3.cloudfront.ne...056&height=594 https://d1sfhav1wboke3.cloudfront.ne...056&height=594 https://d1sfhav1wboke3.cloudfront.ne...056&height=594 https://d1sfhav1wboke3.cloudfront.ne...056&height=594 https://d1sfhav1wboke3.cloudfront.ne...056&height=594 https://d1sfhav1wboke3.cloudfront.ne...056&height=594 https://d1sfhav1wboke3.cloudfront.ne...056&height=594 https://d1sfhav1wboke3.cloudfront.ne...056&height=594 |
Where is the particulate filter in the newer cars (GTS)? Does this get rid of it?

I think that Akrapovic is among the best, if not the best, aftermarket titanium exhaust system. However, I hate (not a word I usually use) the fact that Akrapovic will not make tailpipes available without their name on it. With their name or that of any other manufacturer on them, the tailpipes look needlessly tacky and gaudy. Indeed, I have even offered to pay a very substantial upcharge to get simple black tailpipes but the Akrapovic ego (which must be as immense as a herd of hippos), cannot seem to deal with this simple request.

I just put this setup on my Sport Turismo Turbo with sports exhaust. You do not need to install the control kit if you have the sports exhaust. The installation instructions make it appear like that needs to be done. It is noticeably louder than sports exhaust, and it does have a slight drone, which I am slightly disappointed in Akra for having this. I have run their setups on other cars with great success, but this is the first system I am slightly disappointed with. Worth the price, not sure yet. I do really like the sound for around town driving, but for highway cruising on long road trips, you have to shift to a different gear, and toggle with the valves turning them on and off to mostly eliminate the drone. I found about 70 mph to work well with valves closed and 7th gear. 80-85mph cruise worked best with valves open in 7th. FYI this is all with OEM downpipes and tune. Self install wasn't bad, just time consuming with removing all the fasteners and small bolts. I do not have video yet.

Do you think maybe this is result of the thinner titanium ? Stainless systems seem to be less prone to drone.

I have my Akrapovic exhaust for sale if anyone is interested, please PM me. I have carbon tips and an unused control kit. I will post an ad tomorrow sometime. I have a couple videos of the exhaust I can text. I sold my Turbo ST for a GT3.

I may be interested depending on how much you want for it, and how much it would be to ship. |

Is the ST exhaust any different than the standard Panamera? Also does the sound kit enable you to use the exhaust button in the car to open and close the valves?

This was the OEM factory tune I was referencing. I believe vivid racing has a tune for these cars, but I never looked into it.
been trying to find someone who has theirs tuned. I know there are piggy back solutions and and actual tunes. |
