Akrapovic's are a great product, all titanium. I priced them when I was looking for my system. They were about $4,000 for their set up. :willy:

Hopefully, you'd end up with more than 15 rwhp! I had JBA Titanium Ceramic coated shorties on my LS2 GTO. Those and a K&N FIPK, I picked up 32 RWHP / 35Ft Lbs, with my tune. :thumbs:
