Sorry I forgot to add that yes I did weigh the system and it came in at 27lbs. Its a 3-inch system until it splits into the mufflers.
No I dont have any dB tests, that would be going a bit too far for me and would require a tremendous amount of setting up to record dB's for different throttle points.
I have a dyno graph but Im not going to post it (you can buy the July Modified Mag for that info). Its just going to show you what I mentioned, the exhaust made the same power (slightly more if you want to nitpick) as the Tomei, and the Cobb Tuning but with a much quieter exhaust note. Almost any 3-inch system on the market today flows well, it comes down to a matter of sound. You really cant compare the systems either since the Akrapovic is on a whole different level.
I can't confirm exactly but I assume the mufflers are straight through judging by their design, they're probably using some damn good packing on a straight through the resonator and mufflers to achieve the low note.

I don't know why you don't want to post numbers on the exhaust since it's on their web site.

I guess you can get the cat-back version of this. It seems they call it Slip-on exhaust.

I would like to see the price of this nice piece of art.
Nice review and video Pete.

those welds on titanium are amazing... and a CAST titanium diverter? jeebus.. their manufacturing processes must be amazing to do something like that..
thanks for posting Pete!
