Akrapovič Information Thread and Gallery for Chevrolet C7 Corvette including Z06
AKRAPOVIČ EXHAUST SYSTEMS
Akrapovič, the benchmark in the exhaust manufacturing industry. The brand is synonymous with the highest level of design, performance enhancement and the creation of an unmistakable deeply resonant exhaust sound. Akrapovič products are designed and manufactured for performance vehicles by a passionate and highly-skilled workforce of over 800 employees using the latest technology, processes and finest materials. The Racing R&D department works with dozens of racing teams with over 90 world championships.
Slip-On System
The Akrapovič Slip-On Line system is the first step in exhaust tuning. Crafted from high-grade titanium, which considerably reduces the weight in comparison to the stock system, it has been perfectly designed to fit directly onto the existing link pipes. The system increases power, provides better throttle response, and improves torque, and also conjures up an amazing sound. The Slip-On system has four valves, the first pair designated to operate in four-cylinder mode and the second set to come into action upon driver request. The system is developed to be compatible with the car’s drive mode selector, and Akrapovič engineers have developed an electronic device to drive the exhaust valves for each mode—Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport, and Track—giving the driver an even greater opportunity to enjoy the sound of the Akrapovič Slip-On Line across the whole spectrum. It’s topped off by four large-diameter carbon fiber tailpipes with titanium inners, to make the Slip-On clearly recognizable as an exhaust that means business.
If the Akrapovič Slip-On system replaces the GM NPP exhaust system, the Slip-On Line maintains the valve regulation of the NPP system.
If the Corvette C7 is not equipped with a GM Performance exhaust (NPP exhaust), then the Control Kit (P-HF886) and Valve Actuator Kit (P-HF868) are mandatory. For Corvette C7s with a Performance exhaust (NPP exhaust), neither the Control Kit (P-HF886) nor the Valve Actuator Kit (P-HF868) is needed.
Technical Data and Information
Evolution System
The Akrapovič Evolution Line system takes exhaust tuning to the next level. Featuring mufflers and link-pipes made from high-grade titanium to dramatically reduce the overall weight, the system provides more power, lowers back pressure, enhances throttle response, and increases torque. With four valves, the first pair operates in four-cylinder mode and the second set comes into action following the driver’s specifications. With an electronic device developed by Akrapovič engineers for the five standard GM modes—Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport, and Track—the system is perfectly matched to operate with the car’s drive mode selector. This produces an even greater range of options for the driver to fully experience the amazing sound of the car. The Evolution Line system, with a new X-pipe, provides even greater performance compared to the Slip-On Line system, and provides a pure race-note soundtrack for this stunning engine, with the enhanced sound characteristics of the V8 configuration and without any drone—just pure enjoyment. Four large-diameter carbon fiber tailpipes with titanium inners complete the appearance of the Evolution Line perfectly, making it stand out as something special.

I would love to have this on my Z51 C7, in fact I even put up a thread in the Panamera section, about the slip on. I had had a brand new set of HRE 21" wheels (the last ones tire rack had) for 2 years (at first no tires were made that would fit you folks tried to help me find some, no luck), and then I bought 5 more cars and realized the Panamera would end up being a winter driver, so the 21" wheels are not going to ever go on. So I wanted to trade the wheels for the slip on C7 exhaust. Sounds like a pretty good deal, maybe you know a dealer that would be interested. If not I am going to end up putting them on ebay and selling them for far less than they are worth.
