Akrapovič or K-teck

[picinni]

What exhaust system would you choose if you...Akrapovič or K-tech?

 

[Dave Hester]

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo???

 

[Duffman_172]

Thought Akrapovic only did bike exhausts?? My workmate has a system on his Hayabusa

 

[Englebert]

No, they do one for the new Clios. Very, very expensive but you are assured top quality. I would just question the point of spending that on a cat-back for a relatively cheap car...

 

[jay s]

They also do car exhaust as well, not of the clio type though lol, more like Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini etc ....

Edit: maybe they have started to do clio sysytems then but expect to get your wallet out lol!

 

[jenic]

They do a clio system, not in the UK I don't think though.

Anyway, it looks and sounds awesome, I'd go for the Akrapovič.

They have got these systems at Ktec. Its over £1000 for the full system though.

Theres an owner who's got one too. N00die I believe on his AG 200. There's a few YouTube videos too.

 

[Tommy_C]

I think Noddie with the AG 200 has one, looks and sounds sexual.

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Why?
Akrapovic is expensive, lighter, increase the power of 8 bhp probably better than K-tec exhaust, which is cheaper.

 

[Knuckles]

akrapovic seems to be the exhaust to get for the 197/200's... carbon tips ftw:hail:

how much are the clio RS akrapovic systems btw? ive not looked into the prices

edit: £1096 for 8bhp and 13 torque and 7kg saving... hmmm worth it on its own?

 

[Gally]

On a Clio? Bit much imo, bit expensive. I actually dislike the tips also.

Just buy a 2nd hand Yozza or wait for Fred's new one if it's a MK2.

For K-tech do not know how much growth in the power of the system. I just know that it is 3 kg lighter compared with the original .... and a half cheaper than Akrapovic.

i think the o/p drives a 200 cup

I honestly dont see how people justify the price of the Akraprovic.

If you want to fit it because of its performance gains, you could have cams fitted for the same price and they will give better gains. If you want to fit it because its an aftermarket exhaust, there are other systems out there alot cheaper (Ktec, Miltek, SuperSprint).

I suppose for the person who has everything, then sure why not...

you won't get power gains from an exhaust on it's own

i was thinking as a standalone mod/replacement exhaust itd be fairly pointless... if you were to couple it with cams/map/itbs etc then it would be a better investment... what kind of gains would akrapovic,cams and a map realistically achieve?

 

[Keith185]

There was a 200 with an Akraprovic exhaust at Silverstone RS trackday last year sounded amazing down the pit straight. Price is another matter lol.

Recommend the following gains are to be had from their: Miltek + Remap + Cams.
Stage 3 - + 19bhp/20ftlbs = TDF Remap, 7800RPM Rev Limit, CAT Cams, Miltek Exhaust System, New Cambelt Kit = £1300 + VAT

I imagine this would be a good guide regardless of Exhaust brand.

 

[Fred@BTM]

over £1k for a STIANLESS SYSTEM? (its not titanium)

the above > akrapovic

im glad this thread popped up actually... i was looking to get an akrapovic when i upgrade... i think ill be seeing TDF instead cheers sagara

 

[Gally]

I've only heard on videos and it didn't really sound of anything in particular.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Noddies 200 does sound awesome with the akprovic (sp) on it not 1k awesome though.

This. Epic system! Money no object though!

Exactly.

 

[chriscummins7]

2 completely different standards, bit of a s**t comparison IMO.

Depends on budget and what you're after.

 

[Christopher]

Slight price difference. lol.

Quality outweighs the price difference?

 

[Chapppers11]

Remember hearing the Akrapovic last year, sounds awesome.

As said though, not one hundred thousand pennies worth of awesome.

 

[200 Alex]

I think if your after quality, the title speaks for itself.

 

[Chapppers11]

I think if your after quality, the title speaks for itself.

Totally agree with this. whether you can afford the best is the only set-back really.

 

[craigt]

Akra never seemed to be as good as the other top brands (Arrow, Yoshimura, Termi's) i only had one Akra system on my R6 never got on with it.....

..........That said, wow that looks awsome, i really would buy one for my car if it was availible

 

[mark smith87]

I've fitted a scorpion stainless cat back system on my 172. It's quite a large tail pipe but it sounds nice and gives a bit of extra power. There's a write up in this months EVO about a 182 they fitted a Scorpion system to.

 

[Kam.]

These extra power gains over other manufacturers are dubious as well.

 

[Dan519]

as I said earlier in the thread, no exhaust on the market will give gains on it's own. The standard system is very good
