Had confirmation from Akrapovic today that the 8V S3 system is now in development.
Hmm and people are moaning the Milltek is expensive...wait until you see the pricing for this!
I'd love to hear the Akra once it's fitted
If you go on their website and look for the Mk7 Golf GTI exhaust you will find before and after fitting soundbites.
I can't imagine it will sound much different to this, perhaps a little more sporty... Sounds pretty nice
Like comparing a Michelin star restaurant and a Frankie and Bennys...
You can buy titanium tubing from China for under a grand for enough material to do an exhaust + a decent AC/DC tig welder will weld Titanium just as well ! By all means, i have a decent Thermal Arc AC/DC welder and i will give it a try ! The rest of the money will go pretty well towards another mods on the car + i will have the satisfaction of doing it all myself ! After all, what's wrong with 316 Stainless ? Looks just as good like Ti and does not tarnish + welds beautifully + filler rods are cheap... Each to their own I suppose !That's all very well but akra is titanium not stainless steel hence why its not so easy for the budding diy enthusiast, it's also why they charge 5k

That's what I said.I asked Akrapovic again. They confirmed that NO exhaust System for 8VS is in developement and even not planned.
I asked Eisenmann and Meisterschaft too - same result
