Default Akrapovic

I understand that I do not post here much but I could use some help.... I am interested in a stainless Akrapovic exhaust system for my '06. I see that they are discontinued now, which sucks a big fatty! I found C6performance.com online and it appeared to be available so I tried to purchase but haven't heard a thing in several weeks. After several calls and emails, I'm kinda thinking it is a scam site or something (I checked with my CC company to make sure there wasn't a charge & cancelled any possibility).....anyway, I could use the connections from any of you to help me out PLEASE! I have a heavily modified car and the exhaust systems over the years, and the most recent one that I have had for the past 5+ yrs is just too much for me now and I would like to be able to turn off the horrible drone as I roll down the highway & the Akrapovic was the perfect scenario/sound for me. Life got in the way and now that I'm ready I apparently fuct myself due to draggin a$$ for a few years. Does anyone know where to find one or have one for sale (preferably new) with either style tip option & the vacuum style controller? I will post in the Wanted section as well.

Thanks, Schramer

Look at the Cosa exhaust systems, they don't drone at all. They make several sound levels and their quality is second to none.

I have been looking into other options but I can't stop my yrs of motivation due to the Akrapovic sound! Still my fault! I have time and will exhaust -haha- all options before I go another route. Thank you for throwing out another option though!

I'd say just be patient. Post in the Wanted section and in Groups on Facebook.

The Akra has a definite drone. My wife says it is barely tolerable on short trips but she says no way on long trips.....

I haven't tried digging too much, being discontinued so I thought I would ask an intelligent crowd before I ran myself around in circles trying to order from companies that haven't updated their sites to reflect the discontinuation. (found three before I posted here) I will look Meraki up, thanks!!
