First let me say, I have the Akra Evolution WITHOUT both the remote and down pipe. On that basis I feel I can offer an opinion on the system as opposed to just hypotheticals.

Similar / better, how do you measure that?
And yes there are steel or stainless steel systems that are way cheaper. I wanted titanium and I wanted the best quality pipe work with zero compromises on bends and first class welds The resultant craftsmanship the likes, I believ,e is without peer.

Absolutley agree. But disagree for some markets, Australia and Asia for example where the 1M demands a upwards of US$110,000 premium (bullsh1t and sucks balls by the way)

Yeh what he said, WRC Car for the road sound without mega cans hanging out the back of the car.

No flapper here, you just need to be carefully with throttle application, good luck as its addictive. Oh, it is a DD, it is my wife's car hahaha

EXACTLY! C'mon over for the weekend, you can even have a drive with both the exhaust and the ESS tune.
By the way, I have no affiliation with Akra, I am just a car nut who is passionate about cars so.......
