Comparisons between Akra and Lughtweight systems
Hey guys,
Just interested to hear people’s thoughts between these two systems.. in terms of noise as well as loudness (I know Akra has valves). Thank you |

I've had both, Lightweight is louder, lighter and simpler design, but just too loud for tracks. Coupled with Wagner downpipes both sound awesome. Akra has 90% of the sound of the LW with the valve open imho.

I've got Cpe catted dp's, maddad mid and the Lightweight exhaust. The sound is spot on in my opinion. It's loud but not obnoxious, the tone is REALLY mean! Drone on the highway is noticeable but not bad, passengers don't seem to mind.
I wouldn't change any part of it, also haven't had any noise issues on track. |

Tinsta can you elaborate on a Wagner downpipes with Akra exhaust. I have a wagner downpipe and a Maddad midpipe and have always wondered how the Akra would sound with both. My main concern is with the wagner downpipes I have always had a tinny sound between 1800-2200 rpms that hits some type of resonance with the stock exhaust, maddad midpipe and wagner downpipe. Please let me know your thoughts.

Wagner DP's also take alittle fettling to make sure they clear the transmission bolt on the upside too. I've got 3-4mm clearance, but lowering the cerntra downpipe bracket slightly lower. It could be that you're hearing?

But my question for you is what midpipe are you running. I would like to get the akra exhaust axle back and retain the middad midpipe but I do not know of anyone (or seen on the forums) who runs this combination with the Wagner downpipes. Thanks. Sorry OP for getting off topic....... Last edited by Mr. Wilson; 10-23-2018 at 06:58 PM.. |

I've only tried the Wagner DP with either the full akra evolution system (midpipes/centre link pipe/backbox all akra) or with the lightweight system (again with the same setup, midpipes/centre pipe/backbox) all being lw.
