Default Akrapovic Slip-on + Corsa X-pipe = Amazing! (video here)

Yesterday, I got around to installing the Akrapovic Slip-on (Axle back) exhaust and mated it to the Corsa X-pipe that had been previously installed. The Akrapovic adds a much louder and deeper rumble versus just the Corsa X-pipe. I'm very happy with the results.

Here is the video of the Akrapovic + Corsa (start up at 35 sec mark):



And for comparison, here is the video of just the Corsa + standard exhaust (start up at 42 sec mark):

Fun Fact! - The first auto exhaust Akrapovic ever did was in 2004 and it happened to be for a Formula One car:

Awesome sound and looks. When I start mine after a few months nothing but chipmunks and mice come flying out!

Toronto.

To me, the Akrapovics sound great, but are they worth double the price of Borla???

I bought mine from Southern Car Parts, a vendor on this forum. At the time they had a 5% off deal and free shipping so I paid just less than $4k.

It is definitely worth it to me. I had the $$$ so why not get the best?

Sounds great! Don't think I would drop 4k for a pair of mufflers though. Back in the day when I was a kid, it was 50 bucks for a pair of 2 1/4" cherry bombs and some flex pipe to dump it out the sides......those days are long gone.

Sounds very good, deep, strong rumble... but my NPP exhaust is fine for me and glad I made the purchase. If I didn't have NPP I would definitely go with an aftermarket exhaust system.
