UK Akrapovic slip-on install
I had my Akrapovic slip-on with carbon tips installed by the excellent Autofficina in Chessington, Surrey on Saturday. These guys specialise in Ferrari and Lambo servicing and sales and are approved Akrapovic dealers. I have to say that the whole process from order to install was handled excellently and I would thoroughly recommend them for anyone considering the Akrapovic.
I decided to go for the slip-on only initially and to leave the blanking plate in the muffler bypass route, so quietest option! It still makes a considerable difference and improvement from the standard note. It is a deeper and richer tone and even sounds less 'rough' during that initial start up! Unfortunately I do not have any decent sound recording equipment but will try and find something. In the meantime if any UK owners want to pop around for a listen prior to ordering from Chris and his team please let me know... but be quick as I was so impressed with the Akrapovic quality I have asked Chris to order the remainder of the complete Evolution system and wireless valve kit!! |

I'm in Portsmouth so not too far from you. Are you around in the morning at the weekend at all? I could do an early drive if it would suit you. Cheers Terry |

Glad you had a pleasant experience with your Akrapovic purchase and install. It's the only way it should be done. Premium exhausts retails should treat their customers in a Premium manner!

Steve would love to have a listen, any chance of bringing your car along to the 1M meet at the Ace Cafe on 23/06?
Any change to cost of insurance premium? Last edited by Jezzer; 01-12-2012 at 06:16 PM.. |

Did it cost much to have it installed or was it included in the price (probably a bit hopeful with Akrapovic)?

Jezzer, I doubt i can make it as I'm moving to Norfolk for a year or so from beginning Feb. It is due to have the full Evo and wireless kit in two weeks time. I am going to try and get some sound clips at each stage.
Greygoose, fitting not included but Autofficina are reasonable with their rates. |
