Above I noted:
"I do have a cosmetic issue. I noticed that the distance between both pipes on the driver's side is a few millimeter smaller than the distance between both pipes on the passenger's side. The difference is visually noticeable. First I thought this was related to the positioning of the tailpipes. So looked into that option. However, fine-tuning the tailpipes appeared to be to no avail: the root cause appears to be imperfect welding of the exhaust itself, where tailpipes are attached to (the distance between the exhaust pipes [to be distinguished from the tail pipes] appear not to be exactly the same on either side, and tailpipes cannot correct this welding difference). Tweaking the titanium exhaust pipes seems mission impossible and not recommended. Actually, nothing I can do about except for requesting Akra to get me a perfectly aligned exhaust. I think that's not normal so maybe I will contact Akra HQ about it."
Below are some pictures taken earlier today to show what I mean. Just to stand clear: the tail pipes are well-aligned when looked upon from above - camera angles can be deceiving - in real life they are okay. The issue is the distance
between
the tailpipes: the "gap" appears to be a few millimeter different when comparing driver's side with passenger's side.
Any thoughts or suggestions ?
After almost a month of use: the natural elements are merciless. The Akra is getting a touch of ...well uh... Valencia Orange.
