I know there is a thread out there discussing this exhaust system but I would like to start this thread to consolidate whatever information we get. It looks like Akrapovic is finishing up the development of the system and we wll have the images very soon. That being said, they have already dynoed the system so see the results below:







Slip On
+5 horsepower
+8 ft. lbs. torque
19 lbs. lighter than stock

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

what's the cost of each system ?

i'm sure it's going to be ......................

Girard@ACGautomotive

No pricing yet but we are getting pretty close to getting some more details. I will post as we get more info.

Muskoka_AMG

Is this just a catback, axleback, muffler, complete from engine back...? details on what created those numbers would be great.

I like the rectangular tips

Girard@ACGautomotive

Evolution normally includes the headers and the slip-on is normally just the mufflers. I'll keep you posted as I find out more. I believe they will have this exhaust at SEMA on display.

Girard@ACGautomotive

The full images of the system is out along with some more information. The exhaust will be priced in the neighborhood of $5,800 and the first batch will be done practically any week. Because of the cast titanium tip design, Akrapovic is taking their time to find the best way to manufacture them. That is the only reason for the delay.

The exhaust will be available trough us as soon as the first units hit the US shore. If this exhaust is as popular as the Akrapovic M3 unit, the first batch will go in the first week. We are taking pre-orders on these exhausts.





























More real-world images coming shortly.

Gorgeous stuff. What's the weight on kit compared to stock? Would love to carry this.

I may be speaking out of ignorance, but shouldn't there be a crossover of some sort to equalize the pressure? X-pipe, H-pipe?

Thanks,

Saw this at their booth at SEMA. It was high quality stuff. The guy in his best english was very excited about bring it to market.

C63 Guy also had a lot of good things to say about it from a fabricator's persepective.

A bit OT,but Akro is hands-down THE best exhaust on the market for a sportbike &has been for years.Had a few Evo 2 systems on my own bikes.

A lot of the multimillion dollar budget factory raceteams use their systems on their race bikes;Im sure anybody who buys an Akro for their car will be quite happy as well

Hi,

The price of $5,800 is for Evolution?

Thanks,

Very nice indeed but obviously very pricey as well. Looks like they tried to copy the new OEM square tips. Not sure it works with the lines of the C.
Very interesting however to see that a reputable company build something that has no H or X pipe. It looks like after all you don't have to have an equalizer and it still produces an increase in hp. In essence, the deletion of the secondary cats and resonator with straight pipes seems to be a valid option.

SonnyakaPig

You made very good points.

I also noticed the lack of an x or h pipe.

This exhaust must be very loud.

I wonder what diameter piping this exhaust is? The reason I want to know is because if there are power gains from this exhaust but the exhaust is still 2 1/2", then the power gains likely come from removal of the stock resonator/h-pipe and secondary cats.

And even if this exhaust does have larger diameter piping, then the lack of resonator/second cats probably does contribute some power gain.

I would love to hear how this system sounds. I really like the weight savings.

More pictures that I have taken at SEMA:

Staggering quality

LZH

Those welds are amazing

whats the approx price ???

olszowa12

$5800 ^ look at previous posts

Boost Gomez

Wow, the craftsmanship is unreal. You could almost justify the price..

SonnyakaPig

I agree.

BAD430BENZ

well i think the system looks amazing but i don't know about $5800 amazing

Djovovic63

I ve seen and heard the akrapovich full exhaust on a c63. And all I can say is that I was simply amazed by the sound. He didnt even rev it just accelerated very slowly and the sound was amazing. It also looks very nice. I m bout to call him tomorrow and do a sound clip of so you can hear it yourself.

emericr

For that money, you can get a tune, headers and a pulley. That's at least 120rwhp. I agree that the quality is probably unmatched but you can't really see and share it. It is not like opening your hood and looking at a carbon fiber carbonio intake.
As far as the sound is concerned, it may sound different but it is hard to beat LTH.

Djovovic63

Yo LTH sound is just loud its not really hmm how would sayyy.. its not even sound if you know what I mean. Its not smooth, the sound that comes from akrapovich is the best sound on a c63 I ve ever heard. I was trying to make my friend rev it but he didnt see me. I will post a sound or video clip tomorrow. The car that they used to make the system is my friends c63 so i ll try and reach him tomorrow nd do a video clip
