akrapovic evolution questions
hi guys, would like some feedback regarding the akrapovic evolution w/o downpipes.
How long does the exhaust take to break in? And also after installing, i noticed a little power loss. is it normal? feels like the type of power loss u'd get when you straight through a NA carn thoughts? |

Just installed mine yesterday. I had to test drive it even though I finished at 1 am and didn't *seem* to notice a power loss. Now that you mention it, it could have down a little but I wasn't pushing it. I wouldn't be too suprised, though, if the car is still "learning" mode....wish it were a little louder......

hi guys, turns out that i had a boost leak for 3 weeks. OMG..
My charge pipe burst a few weeks ago. went back to claim warranty and they swapped out the parts for me. however, the AD forgot to fit the O Ring back into the Chargepipe without my knowledge. When i drove the car i felt something was wrong. that it wasn't as strong as before. AD told me it was probably psychological. That was the same time i installed the AKRA. Now that i fitted the ER Charge pipe, the pull is alot stronger than before |

one observation though, it seems like there is more power with the wireless kit in red rather than white. don't you think so? |

If your switch is bouncing back you need to check your voltage connection on the wireless tap, if the voltage isnt steady then its very possible it is loosing connection to the remote therefore resetting. |
