It only took 14 months… getting the right custom setup to match the 3D Design rear diffuser has been a long process.

After much research, none of the manufactured versions was what I wanted, either too loud, the wrong type of sound, too cheap and nasty, too expensive, etc, etc, there was nothing that I thought was actually worth the money.

So after much procrastination and quoting, it ended up being a cat-back custom manufacture where all the pipe work was changed but the OEM back box and valves were retained. It remains wonderfully quiet when cruising but with the flap open it’s deep and brutal (and it looks decent with the 3D carbon).

Couldn’t be happier 🥰

Love the outcome. If it's not a secret, what was the cost of your exhaust vs Akrapovic?

A big financial gap in my favour - the whole thing was a shade under £4000 ☺️

Have you got any pictures of the finished system from underneath?

I’m afraid not, I picked it up with everything put back together and the car already in the car park. I’ll definitely take some next time it’s up on a ramp though.
