991 Turbo S Exhaust

I was hoping Akra would have an exhaust for this car. I really like their matte titanium finish.

Can anyone enlighten me on the top 3 or 4 exhausts for this car?

In my world this is the Porsche forum

Techart is there now too I think

That's pretty much it... Akra will be nuts in Porsche tax and to me--- too much for piping but that's my opinion.

I'd like to see the tech art version. Nice body kits in the past and motor upgrades

I have to say, kind of disappointing that there's no high quality exhaust for a car like the 911.

All I look for in an exhaust is a product from a reputable company, nice welds (quality fit/finish), and quality tips that look good...

I agree, pipes are pipes - and it was hard to justify the Akra purchase for my M5. Just searching for some decent looking tips - Akra can't be the only company selling quality product?

Technically the car (991 TTS) hasn't been out that long stateside and the demand for aftermarket parts just doesn't mirror the likes of M3's and even M5's. The demand is not there... yet and when it gets there the Porsche Tax is sizeable I have to think. There are some viable non TT options for the 991 but the Turbo is new to the game.

I like the oem ovals (dark with the S model) so Im gonna do the Cargraphic center part (only 1700 dollars, only) and then consider add ons later. Its a modular system so I can add the hi flow cats and headers later if I choose.

Yeah, good point about demand for parts.. the 991 S hasn't been out for too long.

I like that idea about keeping section three stock and swapping out section two. Good idea.

Porsche 911 TS tax, I am sure. I was going through Akra's catalog and couldn't believe the price on their SLS exhaust offering. $14,000 ! Craziness..

AWE makes a fantastic exhaust for 911S. Not sure if they have something for Turbo yet.

Here you go. Under development.

Yes the C2S has been out since 2012 and the C4S was out about a year ago but the production levels of these models will ensure a better option of mods. Have you been to 6speedonline.com? They have a lot of good vendor posts there in the Turbo section already with more to come. In some cases you get to see their exhaust builds which is cool.
