AKRAPOVIC exhaust system for 370z, WHO HAS THIS ?

Z11

i was thinking about buying this exhaust system, but ive heard the online videos which is different from in person, so can someone who has this INSTALLED tell me if its louder than stock and by how much louder, it says zero drone, and at what rpm can you hear it. please state whether your running the full exhaust system or slip on

SPOHN

Pretty expensive system.

I have the full exhaust....had it installed with just the stock OEM cats and now with BERK high flow cats. With the original cats, its a little louder than stock...one of the quieter systems I think, but sounds good when driving hard. Loudness picked up a bit with the high flow cats but still not as loud as other systems. I haven't experienced any drone at any rpm on the street or highway.

Video below is the full exhaust with the high flow cats stationary:

That should give you some clue of what it sounds like....sorry don't have any vids from outside.

great vids, the first video didnt work, said it was a private video. i keep getting different answers on the loudness. if its not noticeable, it wont be worth it for me, but i love how it sounds though from the vids that is, and considering it sounds better when i compare it to other exhausts ive heard. ah tough decision, and a costly one

First vid should work now, changed the settings. The loudness isn't extremely noticeable with the stock cats at idle/low speeds, but changing those out seems to liven up the system. It is pretty expensive though. I just went with it because of its rarity on our cars and I really like Akrapovic; have it on my Ducati 848 too

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!
