Updated with Sound clips:) Akra for the ZR
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...284c115c4.jpeg After following the bad azz sounding Z with Akra around, contemplating the best set up for the ZR. Suggestions? Still the Z06 system being used for ZRs ? sound clips ? Thanks :cheers: |
I plan on putting the Akrapovic exhaust on my ZR1. I had it on my 2013 and 2016 and loved the sound. Nothing out there sounds as good as far as I'm concerned. Sure it's a little pricey but worth every penny.

Akrapovic is a great way to go, for sure. Plus, you then get the Carbon Fiber tips.

Yes people are running the Z06 setup on their ZR1.
Contact us for pricing, plenty in stock! :D -Josh |
Josh and all thanks. Are they going to make a system specific to the ZR. Want AKRA , wondering what all others are doing ie Cross Pipe etc. |
Are these all (Akra, Corsa, etc) full exhaust systems including everything from axle back? Wondering if there’s a muffler option that will maintain the NPP functionality. I know headers and X pipe will work for what I want, just not 100% sure how the NPP works and what can be removed to keep it in place. |

They understand that the ZR1 is the last hoorah for the C7 platform and so they feel that focusing their resources for the upcoming C8 is a better route to go since their Z06 system is already a plug-&-play unit on the ZR1.

Is corsa the best x-pipe? Have they confirmed that it's suitable for the extra heat?
|
B&B fusion keeps npp function, and has different styles of ends, and also stainless or black ends. Also, a lot cheaper than akra. I run these on my zo6 and liked them.

I might be the minority when it comes to the Akra exhaust. I had it on my 2012 and wasn’t a big fan of the sound. I loved the carbon fiber tips but would go a different route this time around I think. I would describe the Akra as more of an exotic sound and was not much louder then the stock exhaust. I would definitely want to hear the Cosra sport and B&B fusion before pulling the trigger on the Akra setup. Just my .02 I would also be curious if the Corsa X-pipe throws a check engine light since it bypasses the secondary cats. I wouldn’t be able to stand a check engine light on a brand new car, if it didn’t then party on! |

You retain the NPP function with the Akrapovic exhaust setup.
Best x pipe.. Very debatable, you can just get the full Akra setup! lol.. If not, I have Corsa x pipe and Akra setup on my non Zr1.. -Josh |

I have Corsa extreme x pipe and Corsa extreme exhaust on my ZR1. Compared to stock it’s much louder, but deeper and more throaty. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Since all the C7 exhaust systems are the same I took it right off my GS before I traded it for the ZR1. I have an M7, and the down shifts with rev match are awesome with the popping and crackling. I bought the set up from Josh at Meraki Autoworks. Good price and service. |

Sounds good. Is that a full Akra setup with their X-pipe? If I did it again I would go full akrapovic . The reason I did not go with corsa extreme exhaust is , You lose sound management (quiet mode) In the summer months I leave about 4am and the neighbors have there windows open , so to keep the peace I went akrapovic . |
