Gauging interest: Akrapovic Exhaust - Evo X

Hello everyone!

A couple of days ago I've had a conversation that I promised to bring forward to the Evo X community. I live about 2 miles away from the Akrapovic exhaust factory and I've spoken to mr.Akrapovic (yes that's his surename ) and I asked him if he would make an exhaust for the Evolution X and the answer was very simple: if there's enough interest from the start to make it worth my time and money for R&D, I'd make it.

Now my question to you - would you be interested in an akrapovic exhaust for your X? Take in to account that the exhaust wouldn't be the cheapest thing on the planet as Akrapovic specializes in Titanium and carbon fibre...

For those who haven't heard about Akrapovic before, he's the worlds #1 and leading in the industry of motorcycle exhausts and lately has started his projects in the car industry as well.

Here's a few samples:

They sound incredible. From the other cars they have been made for and the materials used (titanium) I assume they are going to be very pricey - but man they sound sweet.

They def sound amazing. I wouldn't mind seeing some performance curves on the dyno of before and after results, not for the evo specifically since they don't make one for it.

Im guessing thats the same company that makes bike exhausts. Didnt know they made them for cars. Akro makes top notch exhaust systems for the bikes and wouldnt expexct less for cars.
