M3 Akrapovic Exhaust

I just installed my Akrapovic exhaust at a friends shop this weekend. Those of you who are familiar with the name Akrapovic know that they make some of the finest titanium motorcycle available. When I heard they made a full titanium exhaust for the M3, based on my experience with their product in the motorcycle world, I decided that would be the way to go. Overall, I am very happy with this exhaust. The quality and construction are amazing. The sound is perfect for me, since I didn't want something that was going to be too loud for a daily driven car. We did some before and after dyno runs as well. The dyno is a Dyno Dynamics, so the numbers read a little low compared to others, but the car picked up 16 hp and 21 ft/lb tq at the wheels.

can't see the video (company firewall)... looks sweet though. What's with the inconsistent power between 2500-3500 RPM?

EDIT: how much weight does this save?

My understanding is that since it is a load bearing dyno, as it is loading, you see some spikes.

the spikes are here when you see the car do little bumps on the dyno.
