Worth Miltek, akrapovic overpriced and not so good sounds as Miltek

Yes we get it, you're a Miltek fanboy.

Titanium & Carbon fibre are not cheap materials to utilise and the Akrapovic system is as close to manufacturer approved, as you will get. Personally I prefer the tonality of the Akrapovic system over the Miltek. It's a good thing to have choice.

Akra Is actually on the options list for S6 but weird not for RS6.

Watched this today, really good viewing.

Joe Achilles is very watchable, the giggling is quite funny.

It's on the German configurator for the rs6 but not the uk one... which is really annoying , as clearly all cars come from the same factory so why would u have it as an option for one country but not for another?.. odd... annoying bit was I brought this to the attention of my dealer when ordering a new car and he confirmed in the uk you could not order the car with the Akr exhaust in the uk .. weird

Agreed, quite an amusing watch and that Akro sounds the nuts.

I don't have either and agree the Miltek is better sounding. The Akrapovic is way too over-engineered for what is a bit of piping you'll never see, whereas the Miltek quality is a bit iffy. If Akrapovic did a stainless steel option (which they won't,as they want to remain premium), that would be the ideal middle ground.

Plus Miltek has less restrictions in piping than akrapovic:

I can't stand the Ackra tailpipes!

Sounds immense though

Post by **chris5150** » Tue Feb 28, 2017 9:45 pm

Funny we are all different but I think the akra tailpipes look great , hate the standard oval pipes when u peer in and see two small pipes , looks very fake etc ... akra carbon quad pipes any day

Akrapovic ending oo pipes in a rear looks very weird on Rs6 http://imageshack.com/a/img924/3649/Tzmlas.jpg

really?...again I think they look nice, better than the original IMHO, would prefer them without the akraprovic writing on them , but other than that think its a big improvement to the rear end
