Akrapovic Titanium Evolution Exhaust for the GT-R

by David Allen on Thursday, October 15th, 2009

There are not many car accessories that could end up as they are in an art gallery and all of those experts standing rubbing their chins and thinking what a wonderful piece of art that is. Well I think that this Akrapovic Titanium Evolution Exhaust system could actually be that part in the art gallery.

Even as it lies on the ground, it looks much more than just an exhaust. However, looks are not everything and in the case of this exhaust system, there have been some raised eyebrows. This raises the alarms to us and it turns out that Akrapovic have made exhaust systems for bikes and they were not too good.

But then again there are others that swear by them, so we need to be open here. According to the manufacturer the exhaust is over seven kilos lighter through the titanium construction and due its design and diameter the system can increase the power by around 17 HP @ 6260 rpm, now that cannot be bad, can it?

Evolution is especially effective between 2000 and 3500 rpm, which makes daily driving even more fun

Additionally, Evolution offers great advantages with regard to weight

The stock exhaust system is 17.3 kilograms heavier, while Akrapovic’s fully titanium made system weighs only 14.3 kilograms

Thus, its power to weight ratio is unbeatable

We are very proud of our achievements in improving Nissan GT-R’s performance data

We would also like to emphasize its muscular design and the sporty sound of the four big tail pipes.

Features:

Evolution complete system:

Titanium front link pipes with resonators

Titanium rear link pipe (larger diameter)

2 titanium end mufflers

4 titanium tail pipes

Hard facts:

Plus 17 HP (at 6260 rpm)

Plus 56.1 Nm (at 2600 rpm)

Minus 17.3 kg

Give us a try. You will be glad you did. Electronic Boost Controllers can malfunction, reset, and are very expensive. They can also be a headache to install.

This ball and spring MBC (manual boost controller) is made from quality parts and is manufactured right here in the USA. The NXS MBC can be used on any turbo car application and can handle up to 30 psi. It is installed in-line with the waste gate setup to fine tune the amount of boost you want to run. Horse power gains of 10hp per 1psi are common on most cars. Did you know that for every 10hp your car gains, you knock off 1/10 of a second on your 1/4 mile ET? It is the best bang-for-the-buck mod you can do.
