I just wanted to clear something up. I work for Akrapovic as the head of the Automotive Division for the US office. I spoke with the head office yesterday about the post by Djovovic63. They have no idea who this person is. Furthermore, he will not be getting 50% off of any products that we offer. I would suggest only purchasing our product through our official dealer network.

Would you mind sharing what kind of rwhp increase (if any) this full exhaust system will deliver on an otherwise stock C63?
Also, what kind of change in sound from the stock system will the system produce? Does your system sound deeper, throatier, higher pitch (formula 1ish, if that's even possible on this burly engine), crackly on downshifts and higher rpm revving, etc.?
How much weight savings from the stock exhaust will your complete system provide (In lbs if possible)?

We are still finishing up development of the system. It is due to be available in late October.
The gains are about 12 horsepower and 15 ft. lbs. of torque. I do not have the weight savings details or a power graph at this point. I will post them as soon as they are available.
Right now we are doing several videos for the upcoming SEMA show. The C63 is on the list. Once the video is posted on our web site I will let you know.

$7500 for a full exhaust for the C63? Wait a minute last time I checked that's around what a F430 aftermarket exhaust system retails for...

Why do you guys think its going to be $7,500? That is a lot for just an exhaust even though it is the infamous Akrapovic Titanium Evolution. I'd expect it to be within the M3 system price range which goes for $5,660. Its too early to speculate on the price before the official price announcement.

Is that for the entire exhaust from header to tip?
Thanks You!

Hey Peter, how are you doing? I'm still waiting on my goods as its in transit in Singapore. Can't wait!
Anyways, noticed you're an authorised dealer for Akrapovic. Do share with us on the performance gains and how it does sound like. I really dig those exhaust tips!

Power gains will probably not reach the full potential of the long tubes but should come close. Or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks for the clarification. Seems like a header-back system could be an interesting proposition for those of us running the K2 package as opposed to exchanging the Kleemann shorties for real long tubes.
