Yeah, I'm not too sure about the tips either. I like traditional quad tips and I also like GT2 tips, but these are growing on me. They're quite colorful after some heat cycling.
That new exhaust note is sick! How much weight difference is there between the steel and the titanium exhausts? Is it enough to affect the handling? The oversteer?
It's noticeably lighter. About 25lbs lighter! I do think it will affect the handling, but I don't know yet. What I do know is: my butt dyno says its FASTER!
Damn good question. I had an eBay search saved for "Akrapovič" for quite a while. Finally one popped up and I bought it immediately. These are rare and really hard to find IMHO.
Being that I removed the exhaust probably six months or more before I put it back on I can only take a stab at the total time it took me. Probably 1 to 2 hours total. We had troubles aligning the exhaust hangers -- it's a pain in the ass!
You really hear those turbos spin with no exhaust 😊😊
I’ve actually done this swap several times without taking the bumper off. Yes it can be done. Approximately 3hrs.
You, sir, are brave.
Nice! I like it. Sounds awesome...for a 6 cylinder. :)
Oh yeah!
Near GT3 howl in the canyons! Great choice. Not sure about the tips though

Curious why you took the O2 sensors off while exhaust sytem was still bolted on rather than just removing them once the exhaust was off the car.
Hindsight is 20/20. Where were you before I did this?! ;D

Where to find this exhaust ? Thanks

How long total did it take you to remove and replace the exhaust?
