Should you have any questions on these systems, don't hesitate to ask!
Akrapovič Slip-On Line
Akrapovič’s Slip-On Line represents the first step in the exhaust system tuning process and the muffler can easily be installed onto the Porsche GT3’s original system. Built from hi-grade titanium and finished with two eye-catching double round tailpipes, this entry system makes the GT3 more powerful and lighter, and gives the car that unique Akrapovič sound, while still meeting ECE specifications. Designed to make the car stand out from the crowd and increase its appeal even more, the visual delight of the Akrapovič Slip-On can be further enhanced with the addition of an optional carbon- fibre rear diffuser. Beautifully handcrafted from the finest materials and designed to enrich the exclusive look of the titanium exhaust system, the diffuser is a must-have extra for any discerning owner.

Akrapovič Sports Cup Line
The Akrapovič Sports Cup Line system is the second step in the exhaust tuning process. Crafted from top-quality titanium—with parts formed in Akrapovič’s in-house titanium foundry—the Sports Cup Line system has been designed to retain the original Porsche GT3 exhaust manifold, utilizing the existing integrated catalytic convertors. The perfectly balanced titanium end muffler and superbly fitting link pipes are all set off with a pair of beautiful titanium tailpipes. Developed primarily for track use, the Sports Cup Line increases power and torque levels—especially through the important mid-range—and with the huge reduction in weight in the area behind the engine and the rear axle (in comparison to the original system) handling is improved to make the car and exhaust work in perfect harmony. The look of this system can be further enhanced with the addition of the superbly handcrafted high-quality optional carbon- fibre rear diffuser to give even more exclusivity to the Sports Cup Line titanium system and the Porsche GT3.

Akrapovič Evolution Line
The titanium Evolution Line is a full system designed to give noticeably increased power at higher revs. With superb attention to detail, including parts cast in Akrapovič’s own titanium foundry, the craftsmanship and coating finish on the system is a joy to behold. With a newly developed exhaust manifold, incorporating 100 cpsi sports catalytic convertors and side mufflers—all designed to increase power and torque—the Evolution Line utilizes integrated catalytic convertors and the functionality of the new exhaust valves to deliver an out-and-out attack on the senses. With the valves in the open position, the Evolution Line sounds like the top-performing Evolution Race system, but also has the option of a lower sound level when the valves are closed, perfect for use in more everyday locations. Offering an increased weight savings in the area behind the engine and the rear axle, the reduction will enhance the handling and improve performance. The Evolution Line is also tuned to deliver a sportier and hard-hitting sound—in open valve mode, the more the engine is revved the better the sound gets—as well as increasing performance, all to provide an even greater sensory experience. With the addition of the handcrafted high-quality optional carbon- fibre rear diffuser, the Evolution Line will show that the GT3 means business even when it’s standing still.
When installing Akrapovič aftermarket optional link pipes with sports catalytic converters or without catalytic converters, which are developed for use on closed tracks only, remapping the ECU is mandatory. When installing Akrapovič aftermarket exhaust system that was developed for use on closed tracks, we recommend remapping the ECU in order to prevent potential »check engine light« warning signals.

Akrapovič Evolution Race Line
This system is built for the track and gives the Porsche GT3 the extra performance to match. Beautifully made from hi-grade titanium and with a coating, the Evolution Race Line is as striking to look at as it is use. From the handcrafted titanium headers with 100 cpsi sports catalytic convertors and titanium flanges—cast in Akrapovič’s own foundry—right through to the superbly finished round titanium tailpipes, the Evolution Race Line is pure quality. The system offers a perfect power curve right from 3,000 rpm to the very top of the power band, designed to continually increase performance as the revs rise. Along with improved torque and the maximum weight savings to enhance handling, the Evolution Race Line exhaust system will have the car performing like a true cup racer—with a deep, loud, and powerful Akrapovič racing sound to match its performance. The assault on the senses from the Evolution Race Line system can be boosted even further with the addition of the perfectly handcrafted optional carbon- fibre diffuser. Made exclusively for the Porsche GT3, this beautiful add-on will make a statement both on and off the track.

We got some feedback from an individual from Rennlist that I felt was worth sharing with all of you 
I've had the Akrapovic Evolution Line system installed on my car for a couple weeks now, and want to provide some real world feedback. This is the full system with two side and a central muffler, so the nature of the exhaust is similar to what you get from the factory - there is just "more" of everything you want. If you like the general functionality of your factory exhaust - the way the valves operate, and "dual personality" you have at your fingertips with the exhaust button, then you will LOVE this exhaust.
To start out, it's a zero-compromise exhaust system. You gain power throughout the entire rev range, lose weight, maintain factory functionality, gain an improvement in sound throughout the entire rev range, even when you're below 3400 rpm with the valves closed, there is a sweeter, more exotic sound; but once the valves open, my my, it will put a grin ear to ear on your face! It also looks great, I must admit. The exhaust tips turn blue on the interior with the exhaust gas heat and complements the sapphire blue paint!
What I don't like, and this is a very personal preference more related to the factory programming of the valves, is the fact that there is still an audible change in tone/volume as the valves open the close and you still won't hear downshifts at very low rpm, but this is all not nearly as pronounced as the stock exhaust. More subtle - but still there.
It's expensive - yes. But if you're looking to gain sound and power, lose weight, and not sacrifice anything compared to stock, this is your ticket!

May I ask? Will Akrapovic is also planning to make carbon fiber diffuser for GT3RS near future soon?
