Thinking of fitting Akrapovič exhaust on my GT3
#11
for 600 dollars you can get a Europipe full muffler delete...retains stock headers...sounds amazing! Although insanely loud. retains warranty too...although akrapovics stuff is amazing! I had their exhaust on my M3 and it is top notch, but i do feel the titanium gives off a different sound...was weak sounding on the m3 but the gt3 seems to sound good w/their exhaust.

I have the Akrapovic Evolution on my 2010 GT3RS. For me, keeping the exhaust valving is non-negotiable. That way Sport button allows loud when I want it and quiet when I want it. Not everybody wants a Cup car decibel level 100% of the time.
No HP/TQ penalty to keep valves, but some extra weight (but still less weight than OE).
The sound at WOT is pretty crazy (106db). With valves closed, idle is perfectly quiet and doesn't piss off the neighbor hood.
This system also preserves low end torque (valves/side mufflers), which is usually destroyed by straight pipe systems. Do you homework, there is a lot to know if you want to be a fully informed shopper.
If price is no object, the Akrapovic Evolution system offers a great deal of value.

Totally agree with you. So this means I need to go for "Sport Mode Active"? The full exhaust system price is kinda steep for me for the time being and since other variables don't really make any difference to me other than the sound, do you recommend the "Slip on - homologated exhaust system" ?

I put the sharkwerks back on cause i wasnt goin to go back to full stock and I do think the sharkwers center delete is perfect for most, so much better than stock, everyone who is stock needs 1...Funny thing is im considering putting the Europipe back on because i miss it so much. What a deal that thing is...or im considering trying to put 2 large resonators on it (1 on each side) and see if it quiets it down just a lil similar to Sharkys race system, talked to them about buying the resonators they use on theirs. BTW they are really nice and helpful guys...recommend them to everyone.
OP - sorry for going off topic

you should listen to the FVD system. The TS member Ranger has it and i got to say it sounds amazing and has very good power gains and weight loss. M&M makes their exhaust, and M&M makes the exhaust for many of the cup cars, supposed to be one of the best.

The majority of members wouldn't give it the time of day.
That was proven above. Yet I would think some don't even know the multiple options of the product. I concede.
Good day guys.
