Getting Akra exhaust installed

As it stands now, I'm getting the Akra exhaust and renntech ecu installed on my car... I still have the opportunity to cancel getting the Akra exhaust installed as I'm having second thoughts about it (Losing the OEM AMG Sound)... Would really appreciate any opinions on whether or not I should go through with it... Is there anyone here who has the exhaust installed that doesnt like it?

Thanks in advance,
Tyler

I'd like to hear a few sound clips as well

Also, has there been any numbers regarding the weight of the exhaust vs OEM ? I would think the titanium exhaust would be a good bit lighter

The whole exhaust... Evolution I believe is what it's called... I believe its like a gain of 12 hp and a weight loss of 42 lbs.

Thanks,
