Sorry, the tips are too large and they extend past the diffuser too far, IMO.

Exhaust looks great, but I'd go with whatever the hell size the B&B bullets are. Or the Borlas. 4.5? 4? Dunno, but they'd look less cartoonish, especially because you can see the tips neck down half of the diameter to the muffler outlet.


Anyways. That's an easy fix. What I really want to know is how the drone is with the exhaust closed cruising on the highway, say if you have to go up a hill in 6th at 70.

nice system for the ridiculous amount they charge.
Ultimatley one would buy this system for the weight savings which is what like 15 lbs and also the sound , right ?
Power wise Iam sure its just like the rest of the cat backs. 5-10 hp added.

the tips look like they came from a modified acura integra though. waaaaaay to big and stick out too much too. jeeeez
last what would slovenia know about american muscle ? just curious.

Pics are destorted, the tips stick out LESS than stock.

The mufflers are a lot smaller than stock so there's no chance of them banging an oversized sway bar, and the weight savings is more like 30lbs in ti.

Cheers, Paul.

The tips and system look great, I prefer the Akro look over other brands.

****...uh, tips, schmips. What does it sound like? How does it compare with factory Z06 NPP as to loudness, tone, drone?

The Akrapovic NPP system sounds a hell-of-a-lot more exotic than the stock NPP exhaust.

If you're looking for the old-fashioned musclecar sound, they're not for you; but, if you're searching for that exotic F1 sound, they are the way to go.
