I had an LPE Z06 and thought I'd never trade it in. But a few weeks of driving my 2009 GT-R and I'm afraid the Vette had to go!

The biggest difference to me (and you mentioned it in your excellent...

I'm sure people who buy Akrapovic are not weighing up whether to do headers/cam OR the Akro. Most likely they will already have done and want a no-compromise exhaust to finish it off.

UPDATE:

Ok, I know it's not comparable with a Z06, but the Akrapovic system on my GT-R raised the power by 24 fwhp!

And that was compared, on the same Dyno Dynamics RR, with a Milltek Y-pipe...

They need to advertise that when it is in full production; definitely a major selling point.

It's not a dual-mode system. In fact my one is only a little louder than stock (on a GT-R). Akrapovic build all their road systems to be Euro regs compliant.

Yeah I think that's going to be the painful bit. My GT-R system was £5000 and a US vendor listed it as being $10k in the US!

Akrapovic titanium exhaust

I've just had one fitted to my GT-R, but the one they make for the Z06 sounds sick!

Also have a carbon-fibre sleeved tip option! :cool:

:iagree:

LP670-4 SV. Which, if true, is pretty bloody impressive; that is a massively fast, £220k car and the Vette had every move covered!
