Default Akrapovic Exhaust Vid

Over on the Z06 forum some have asked questions what the Akrapovic sytems sounds like on a stock car with the X-pipe. I was bored on a Sunday afternoon so I shot this vid.

Just posted over here for ***** & giggles.

Sounds great! The cam is what's making the tips look like they're sticking out so far right?

The GoPro Hero2 has a fish eye lens so yes there is a good bit of distortion.

However, the Akrapovics do stick out and have quite a presence.

I like it, to each there own.

Dont get me wrong, I love your ride. Just prefer the look of the tips a little more flush but then again that GoPro is deceiving.

Here is what the stokers sound like on a zr1. Be the judge if it is worth the expense to you

Do you have headers? Or was this when you cat failed? Looks like you pop a flame from the passenger side right at 3:56

No Stock and cat repaired. (passenger side was the cat they replaced.) Just mild to wild (on Wild). At 3:56 I hit the rev limiter on 3rd. I do not see any flames.

Weird if its shooting flames. I can't really tell if its a mark on the ground or a flame for sure.

I see what you mean. It may be sunlight. Or some cat pieces flying out from my last experience...

No flames. My bud would have noticed behind me... And should have been more than just once..
