Akrapovic Evolution Race Exhaust System Porsche 997 GT3 and GT3 RS
#12
When I weighed my Akrapovic Evolution Race exhaust before installation, I stuck the headers, connecting pipes and center muffler loosely together and vertically positioned the system on my bathroom scale, the result was 31 lbs. I did not weigh the individual parts hence I have no numbers! As for proofing anything, I have no interest in proofing to people who don't want to believe what I am writing here. My intent here is to inform members of my experiences with what I purchased and not outdo anybody or anything.

The rear center section is usually approx. 20 lbs.
So the headers must weigh 5.5 lbs per bank and never mind the cats (?).
Sorry but I doubt it.
I want proof of these weight savings. Itemize each component weight.
The only reason I am pursuing this is because I have an exhaust system that will better this.

Unless you are dumping the exhaust for straight pipes, I doubt you will get lighter than the Akrapovic Evolution.

The Akrapovic and FVD single muffler titanium race systems weigh exactly the same. 31 lbs.
The FVD titanium muffler weighs 16 lbs. The headers weigh less than 4lbs a piece.

I bought the side mufflers separately but so far have not decided to install them. The sound, drivability of the Evolution Race system is just superb.
Just finished a lengthy write up on my Akrapovic Evolution Race system (I know, long overdue and I appologize) and will post it within the next days - stay tuned!
