997T, APR and Akrapovic

Hi, I have 997T with APR and I am extremely happy with the result. I am thinking now to replace th stock exhaust with complete AKRAPOVIC system with headers and 100 cpsi cats. Anyone having the same setup to give me any inside? I am mostly wondering if the exhaust makes any annoying noise in middle RPM during travel. Is there any dyno chart with same setup?
Thanks in advance

If by annoying noise you mean drone , I dont think so . Thats why you pay that much for a titanium cad produced exhaust.
If you want my opinion since you are located in greece , you should listen to kline exhaust also. My friends there (tuning on road) did you so you can hear by yourself maybe

Hello, I havthe akra on my car. Car sounds great when cruising then opens up nicely under throttle. At mid RPM you can here it slightly but not a droning noose by any means. Highway cruising it great. I find I always want to give it a little extra throttle to hear the turbos spool and exhaust note. You'll be extremely happy with your purchase. I know I am!

Cheers,
I am about to pick up the akrapovic system as well. Anyone running this exhaust with a Cobb tune and no cats?

I'm running Cobb tune with 100 cell cats. Mainly went with the tune because I was told the exhaust would throw a CEL. I didn't get a CEL but I'm happy with the tune.

Hi there,

For my setup at least, no CEL with 100 cats and no tune - a few other board members I spoke to before fitting this system a few years ago also had zero CEL issues.

Cheers,
