Akrapovic
This may be old news, but has anyone else noticed that Akrapovic's website now lists the C7 exhaust systems?

Akrapovic's website...
"The Akrapovič Slip-On Line system is the first step in exhaust tuning. Crafted from high-grade titanium, which considerably reduces the weight in comparison to the stock system, it has been perfectly designed to fit directly onto the existing link pipes. The system increases power, provides better throttle response, and improves torque, and also conjures up an amazing sound from the naturally-aspirated V8 engine. The Slip-On Line system has four valves, designed for the first pair to operate in four-cylinder mode and the second set to come into action according to the driver’s specifications. The system has been developed to be compatible with the car’s drive mode selector. Akrapovič engineers created distinctive programs for each mode—Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport, and Track–giving drivers even more freedom to enjoy the sound of the Akrapovič Slip-On Line across the full spectrum of the car’s performance. It’s topped off by four large-diameter carbon fibre tailpipes with titanium inners, to make the Slip-On clearly recognizable as an exhaust that means business.
If the Akrapovič Slip-On system replaces the GM NPP exhaust system, the Slip-On Line maintains the valve regulation of the NPP system.
If the Corvette C7 is not equipped with a GM Performance exhaust (NPP exhaust), then the Control Kit (P-HF886) and Valve Actuator Kit (P-HF868) are mandatory. For Corvette C7s with a Performance exhaust (NPP exhaust), neither the Control Kit (P-HF886) nor the Valve Actuator Kit (P-HF868) is needed."

For the longest time, I was scanning Akrapovic's website for anything new & kinda gave up over the last few months.
I'd say they have to be REAL close if they've already published the .pdf instructions for all the C7 specific components.
June a week away so I'll wait & see how thick the 'just because we can...' Corvette Tax is for their exhaust system....

The contact information for an Akrapovic sales executive is in the thread below. Maybe they have more specific information available since it's now June.
