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!

Fastest Way to Get to the Soccer Game with an Aggressive Sound

When you hit that stage of family, you typically have 2 cars or sometimes 3.  The standard issue SUV for hauling the kids and going on trips.  The work sedan for commuting.  Then finally Daddy’s weekend sports car.  However when you own one of the BMW X5M V8 Twin Turbo SUV’s, you solved all 3 with one bad ass ride.  To further enhance the already strong performance of the 5.0L engine, Vivid Racing upgraded this Texas based truck with a new Meisterschaft GTS performance exhaust muffler.  A direct replacement for the OEM axle back, the Meisterschaft (German for Championship) gives a great new rumble and better looking quad round tips as pictures.  Check out the pics and short video below.  Remember to view all BMW, Mercedes, and other Meisterschaft applications here.

One of our customers who has bought parts for some of his other cars wanted to share a couple of his other toys with us.  Knowing we love our Porsche cars too, he thought he would share his Porsche DP 930 and Porsche 935 with us.  Slant nose, check.  Red and Black, check.  Awesomeness, check!  Enjoy

Aston Martin with Larini Exhaust Brings Back the Ladies

This was probably one of the best reviews I have seen about a product.  This customer got his Aston Martin Vanquish geared up from Sales Team Member Ahmed.  To give it the exotic sound that the Vanquish deserved, he equipped the car with a set of Larini center pipes, mufflers, and tips.  With this, the V12 turns into a F1 screamer taking the gentlemen’s car to a playboy’s ride.  We have some pics of the Aston below, but the quote is priceless!

“Thanks for the exhaust it sounds bad! My oldest son told me this car is a panty dropper! [ He is 28 years old. ]  He put it on Face Book and girls that have not talked to him in a long time where talking to him.  I asked him what is this thing called Face Book.”
