Akrapovic Evolution titanium exhaust

I recetly purchased this exhaust and wanted to whrite a review on it since there so little info on this exhaust.

I ordered this through Sean @ DSG performance which by the way is a great guy to deal with, gave me a great deal and had the thing at my door i no time.
Now, i know that this system is not for the big majority of people becuase of cost and i battled with this also. I can honestly say that I'm a exhaust whore, the exhaust sound is one of the biggest reasons I'm in to cars and bikes so much. I also want to have my cake and eat it to, I want it to be catless, fairly quiet when driving around town, little to no drone at highway speed, full 3" piping and as light as possible.
Since i bought the Evo X I've had a Invidia Q300, Buschur Crossflow, HKS Legamax with the midpipe, custom Touge Factory Titanium Dual exit that i bought used from Raytrix, Tanabe Concept G and Greddy SP. I also went through diferent downpipes, test pipes and a HFC. I know I'm nuts, no need to mention it.....

The reality is that I've wasted allot of money and time went i should just have gone with the Akrapovic exhaust from the begining. This system is full 3", quiet when i want it, sound SICK when you get on the throttle and full titanium so it's light weight to boot!

If your like me, don't make the same mistake i made and give in to your desire because i guarantee you won't be disapointed. Words can not accurately describe the level of detail and craftmanship Akrapovic has put in to this exhaust, I was expecting great things but I'm really blown away.
Everything form the welds to the brackets, everything is perfect, even the packing left me speechless. I'll let the pics do most of the talking now....

Also, the intructions are rediculosly thorough. I've bought aftermarket componentes that cost much more then this exhaust and i can say I've never seen this level of detail in instructions.

this is probably the only exhaust out there that actually has a unique sound to it. I'm sorry, but all Evo X exhausts sound practically the same. People can debate all they want, but you'd have to had studied all the exhaust systems for days to be able to identify purely off sound - it's just pipe. Someday I'll spoil myself with this exhaust, because everything else pales in comparison imo
