Akrapovic Evolution

atruelunatic · 03-20-2012, 02:34 AM

Been meaning to post one of these up for a while to help people decide on their exhaust.

I'm sure a lot have seen these videos already, but here it is fwiw:

THE TECH · 03-20-2012, 08:14 AM

It would be sooo much better if it was louder. That's my only gripe about this exhaust.

GOLFFRR · 03-20-2012, 08:45 AM

I love my EVO

GIdriver · 03-20-2012, 08:59 AM

I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger.

Bonziii82 · 03-20-2012, 09:24 AM

Hmmm, I actually like the fact that they aren't too loud. Its very hard to tell via youtube however.

Sounds great

Sean@PYSpeed.com · 03-20-2012, 09:56 AM

great video!

Its_lobelt · 03-20-2012, 10:11 AM

Sounds very nice.

Let me know if you want to hear/see other videos. I'm fairly free this week.

Well, you're gonna get me in some trouble, but... that would be awesome! The thing is that where I live I will never have the chance to hear it in person, videos are my only option. From what I hear on videos, I like the sound. An added benefit is the weight reduction and gains in hp. I already have the ESS tune so I only will need the Akra Evo specific tune. And then..

tha_good_life · 03-20-2012, 02:34 PM

Akra is one of the best mod! Power, sound, and esthetic.

M3 Piotr · 03-20-2012, 03:29 PM

I only got the slip-on but it satisfies my need for "noise". I like your EVO sound as well.

jonasaurus · 03-20-2012, 03:47 PM

I actually thought it would be louder, but I guess that's just the video.

I like the fact that it isn't that loud. I'm getting too old and have too many people in my car to have some loud exhaust system on my car. Akra EVO is a nice blend.

Ilia and Nate at IND both told me to start with the slip-on. I ran the slip-on for a few weeks and loved it. I was just tempted by the weight savings and the power of the full EVO and found a used x-pipe, so I bought it. In my opinion, the car isn't that much louder with the full EVO, but it is a whole bunch lighter and makes a LOT more power. As I have said, I've outgrown loud exhaust systems and am very pleased with the Akra EVO. It is absolutely perfect.....and it should be for what it costs!

mpbruin108 · 03-20-2012, 04:11 PM

what if you drove away from that video on the floor and some other guy didn't see it and drove over it....that would have been a shame

atruelunatic · 03-20-2012, 04:44 PM

Thanks all!

Haha, There was a double yellow lined fork in the road where I put it in. But then I saw some hobo on a bike heading towards the camera so I had to gun it back and pick the camera up before he could have possibly snatched it haha.

I also wasn't WOT it either, I don't think I got too close to redline in these videos. Will be making more and adding it to this thread.

Haha, just lemme know if you want in cabin videos also, slow drive aways or WOT drive aways. Can't go wrong with the EVO.

As someone else said in here, it's all prefernce. I think it could be a little louder, but where it's at right now I think it's perfect for my DD needs. Some people say it is a little loud who ride in the rear passenger seats, but bearable so I sometimes feel a little bad about them, but not too much >=]

Convince her that the extra HP and TQ are necessary to save you from avoiding accidents haha. I had a close call not too long ago where if I hadn't had the power to accelerate out of the situation, my car could have seen some serious shop time.

GIdriver · 03-20-2012, 09:39 PM

Every time I hear this video, I like the sound more and more. I've heard other videos of the Evo, but this one is the best, IMO.
