Eargasmic Porsche 991 GT3 with Akrapovic Exhaust

The Porsche 991 GT3 may be one of the best out of the box track vehicles.  Even though Porsche said goodbye to the manual transmission and fitted this car with a 7 speed PDK dual clutch tranny, the near 500 horsepower, rear wheel drive machine is very intense.  What makes the Porsche 991 GT3 so awesome for the track is its attention to detail with weight, dynamic traction control, suspension, and high revving linear power.  As we experienced with our own Project GT3RS, there is not much to do to these cars.  But if you are going to upgrade, an exhaust is the perfect way to go.


When it comes to the best, and I do not use that term lightly, Akrapovic is it.  The Slovenian company produces pure art in form of their titanium exhaust systems.  The notes that come from the rear end are harmoniously pleasing yet for the untrained ear, frightening at times.  Our customer scooped up this full Evolution Raceline 991 GT3 Exhaust for his Porsche.  It includes new headers with 100 cell high flow catalytic converters.  The main muffler box is replaced with a more free flowing system and features a new dual tip out the center exit muffler.  Saving 49lbs over stock, the new exhaust system makes nearly 17hp and 37ft/lbs of torque over stock!  The weight savings alone is worth the staggering price of $10,865.  But again, if you want the best, Akrapovic is the only way to go.  With applications for cars like BMW, Porsche, Lamborghini, Audi, Mini, Nissan GTR, and more, if you are ready to play ball, than Akrapovic is where it is at.


To have some fun, he also swapped out the stock wheels for a set of ultra lightweight BBS FI Wheels.  The forged BBS Wheels are designed for the centerlock cars featuring weight saving pockets on the spokes.  Configured still in the OEM sizes, the $8,000+ wheel set is nothing to bark at if you are going for the fastest lap times against your friends!
