Akrapovic GT3 Evolution Race System
The Akrapovic Evolution Race System for the GT3 is a full titanium exhaust system. It features titanium headers with 100cpsi cats, titanium link pipes, titanium tail pipes, and titanium center section muffler. It provides for maximum power increase in an extremely low weight configuration. The weight savings alone with this system will greatly increase the power to weight ratio of your GT3 as well as vastly improve handling as the weight savings is occuring at the rear of the vehicle, the place it needs to be removed from the most. Performance numbers are as follows: 57 pounds weight savings over stock,16.7 ft-lbs. torque at 4128 RPM, more than 12 ft-lbs. of torque between 3600 RPM and 6300 RPM, and 16.5 HP gain at 4490 RPM.
GT3 Evolution Race "cat delete" System
The system pictured here was custom designed at our request as a "cat delete" version for ultimate performance, compliance with certain sanctioning body rules, and lightest possible weight, while also meeting track and sanctioning body drive-by sound limits. It is quite similar to the 13,990 Euro ($19,000 USD) system Akrapovič licensed exclusively to Manthey Racing as used on their RS for the past two 24h Nurburgring events that they won, but this system INCLUDES full titanium headers and eliminates the sport cats (which are required for German ADAC sanctioned events, but outlawed in US Grand Am).
In terms of this unit - Akrapovič spent a lot of time optimizing the overall design for "race use" power, and no disrespect to great engine builders, but when looking at the power gain they achieved (both torque and Hp) it is clear that the Akrapovič system is one of, or likely, the most cost effective approach to increase power (e.g. use stock engine and Akrapovič exhaust). Truly big gains that even the factory thought were not possible. When combined with a race-prepared engine, the system provides a distinct competitive advantage.
