Final RPiM5 say is that it has a better sound than stock, but I still think the cracks from the stock exhaust are louder than the Akrapovic cracks.
What would be really really interesting to me though, is if Akrapovic designed another exhaust system with the same Titanium metal, but with no mufflers and/or no resonators. That WOULD sound very interesting as that titanium tone could really be brought out of its shell. Bu they'll never do this, because the exhausts they make have to comply with EU decibel noise level standards. Oh well. I guy can dream though.  |
Thanks Dave... I just cant see spending that kind of money for very little sound diffrence and bragging rights. Would rather spend less on a full Eisenmann Race setup and let the sound do the braggin for me. Still torn though between that and the full Meistershaft Stainless GTC.
