Hi there

I drive the Akrapovic Evolution Version for almost 3 months including INVIDIA HFC

I can tell you the following:
- At the beginning, the Akrapovic was not much louder than the original
- After 1000 miles and when warm it is now noticeably louder
- By the HFC I have in the inside as well as outside of the Z = "RASP"

Sound in general:
- At 3,000 r / min, the Akrapovic is deep and warm.
- More than 4,000 r / min, she begins to cry (similar to a Ferrari F430)

The workmanship and quality:
- good

Weight:
- The Akra is compared to other systems not easy (Fast Intentions).

I have the Akrapovic mounted because it is quiet compared to my Fast Intentions. We here in Switzerland have huge problems with loud exhausts!
The authorities put the car stopped in violation of noise laws!

If I had no problems because of the volume, I would immediately install
the Fast Intentions CBE....BACK!
This system is easily the best thing I've ever heard of a "Z"!

Hope I have helped you a little...

Here is a small film with the Akrapovic is mounted (at the end you can hear them)
The sound can be heard in real spectacular than on the clip!
