I think the key word was "almost" justify the price.

 

i did see the "almost" and i agree with you totally

 

Immaculate quality as usual, Would love to hear what it sounds like. I have a feeling its not going to be loud, but -42lbs from stock is a great advantage.

 

It looks like the welds were done by Zeus with lightening...

 

Nice but not worth it. Just shows you how well the catback portion of our exhausts are. The slip-on which is basically after resonator back only makes 5hp and saves 19lbs...I bet itll cost 3,000. For that you can get longtubes and probably save 25lbs and +40-45rwhp.

 

Cant wait to hear the sound!!!

 

There are those who are trying to get best bang for the buck and there are those who can afford to choose the best that is offered for the car. I surely can't argue with the advantage of the long tube headers however you will not get the weight decrease or the sound that Akrapovic offers.

The only exhaust that was in stock got sold. The projected delivery of several more Evolution systems is 2-3 weeks. Only the full Evolution systems are coming. If somebody is looking for the slip-on (mufflers only) only 1 will be available since there is no point breaking up a number of full Evo sets to get stuck with the mid pipes.

 

LOL!!! Well said.

 

this thread is useless without a sound clip

all joking aside, this is a thing of beauty--I'd have to buy a lift so I could clean this and admire it daily

Great workmanship, but I feel like our cars can't justify such a system (price wise), but maybe I'm just being cheap!
I love our cars to death, but someone who buys the "best" exhaust should be starting with a priceyer car--no?
My car is loaded with everything and was in the $80's and I just don' think our cars are worthy--I guess it's for ROTW peeps who pay like $150K for our cars

amazing workmanship--can't wait for that vid

Great Exhaust system, but too rich for my blood.

 

We will have them by the end of the month. only 5 coming and 2 are pre-sold!

 

More questions,

1. From the pictures, what does the "two-cylinder-part"( Ti link pipes with resonator) exactly do? Since it had replaced both stock resonator and 2nd cat., does it have some racing cat inside? Or just with resonator function only? Is there special reason to design as two independant cylinder type rather than one piece resonator like stock one?
2. It's not a bolt-on system, right? The stock resonator section on the driver side also includes the 2nd cat. How does the "Ti link pipes with resonator" link with original pipe in C63?
3. Since the stock resonator has both connecting ends just in the front end of resonator, does Akrapovic also provide the same type of resonator section? I mean no futuer extended pipe to replce 2nd cat.

Had attached drawing for stock exhaust system for easy inderstanding what I'm asking.

 

It is a resonator only, not a catalytic converter. Once you install this exhaust, you get left only with a set of primary catalytic converters. The reasons why they designed their exhaust the way they did will not be revealed. that is a proprietary information to Akrapovic.


It is not a pure bolt-on system because the primary catalytic converter on the drivers side is welded to the midpipe. You would have to bolt it up the Akra midpipe on one side and cut and clamp on the other.

3. Since the stock resonator has both connecting ends just in the front end of resonator, does Akrapovic also provide the same type of resonator section? I mean no futuer extended pipe to replce 2nd cat.[/quote]

I don't have the full diagram yet but what you see on the picture is what you get with the system.

 

3 pre-sold, 2 are still available

 

who here is getting one?! hehe i'm jealous! :P

 

OMFGGGGGG i just came from a test drive in a c63 with first akrpaovich evolution in the world. ALL I can say is WOW and WOW the sound is... i mean you cant describe it with wordss. I m so mad cause my iphone doesnt have video app so I could do a video clip. But I almost had an orgasm while driving the car. Its so good.

 

I think this exhaust is a work or art but I can't get past:

Evolution
+12 horsepower
+16 ft. lbs. torque
42.5 pounds lighter than stock

for $5895!!!

At that rate a good tune that created 48rwhp could cost $23,580.
You could do a true carbon fiber roof for less money and lose more than 42.5#?

 

I'm with you 100%. You can go to a Shuriken (sp?) battery and drop 35 pounds of weight from the nose of the car for $100.

Agreed that it is a work of art, but for the dollar/reward ratio, it is no more effective an exhaust than a Breitling is a better watch than a Timex. Prettier? Sure. But better? Not for the $$$.

Then again, I'm a poor kid.

 

our battery is not in the nose of the car--fyi

 

You probably dont see why this exhaust costs as much as it does. Have a ride in a c63 with Akrapovich evolution and you will hear why. I have never heard a 63 amg engine sound like it sounds with akrapovich. yes you can make it louder with lth and so but the exhaust note will never be as perfect as with akrapovich.

 

sounds clip please

 

sound clip please this thread is worthless with out sound clip thanks

 

+1

 

Yes for sure need to hear the sound first!!
