akrapovic exhaust R275 - will it be on sale

I would say no but if it is available it will be mega expensive. The ohlens shockers are a £2000 factory option ! But I bet they will be a lot more expensive to order separate.

 

I emailed Akrapovic and asked this very question, specifically if there would be a stainless steel version available and they said a decision would be made by the autumn and to watch this space.....

The exhaust they do for the Clio 200 is very nice indeed and beautifully made, something along those lines foe the Megane would be great.

As Jamie says, makes sense to keep the Ti specifically for the 275 and make a SS Version available for aftermarket.

 

You'd best pay 40k for a 275R then lol.

Bargain, I'll take two!

 

I did here that the full system was going to be around £3k but only for sale after all the ones had been made for the 275's.

 

Didnt the 275 ti system have a tiny centre silencer? The one on akrapovic website hasnt. So should be sound abit better.

 

Yer i remember seeing a tiny one in the vids

good guide here, never knew the standard system had impressed dots for cutting the right area!

also, ignoring the titanium, effectively its just the centre silencer cut out, rear box is the same

Think i might just get a middle box chop for £50 lol

You can buy just the backbox system part, whats the point? Barely gona sound any different and for the money...

But the rear box is no different in size to the std box? Any difference in noise will be negligable esp for the money

all im saying is cut the middle box out the std system and you have the same system as the akra just not titanium...im not that fussed. From the youtube vids, doesnt really sound much different. Im sure it would sound great in the .R however all stripped out

 

Oh im sure it does, but inside a normal 250/265/275 with all the seats etc, how much different would it sound compared to a oem system with the mid box chopped out.

If i offered something special like, i dont know, switchable exhaust valves or something for £1300 then its a different kettle of fish if you catch my drift...

 

Just to add Matty the 1300 will be for a stainless one, the titanium full system will be around 3k

 

Ah well. They are gona sell like hotcakes then....

 

Just reading on the french forum

630 euros for the steering wheel
80 for handbrake gaiter
80 for gearstick gaiter

pretty decent for the gaiters, from renault that is

 

No idea about the company but looking here http://lightweightperformancetitaniumexhausts.co.uk/ seem to do Ti systems for similar cars from 1300-1500.

Still not cheap for what it is and the cars it's going on mind. Could buy a half decent 172 for that.

 

Back on subject, a 275.R owner has put on the french site his exhaust was measured at 89db at charade circuit....cant be right? My r26 did about 95db on track

 

Weird, im reading french translation here but some mention the 275 or .R's do have a small middle box - some comments of charade circuit and others having a 90db limit and then you have the option to get it removed if you wanted more noise

may have read it completely wrong mind!

also someone quoted 1788 euro for the backbox and 2268 euro for the system

 

Another guy speaking of the .R 'i found the exhaust noise similar to my madac steel tube with rear seats removed'

 

From the end of november or december ktec racing are selling the ti system with carbon trim fir around £2k if i remember.

ive been looking at the bcs powervalve system, ummin n arrin about it.

 

What's the bore on this?

 

I also noticed from their website they are doing what looks like just the rear box, 'Slip-On Line', wonder what the cost of that is, anyone know?

Cheers Jamie, just doing some man maths

Not sure I can justify that much for an exhaust though!

 

It'd be better spent on suspension imo
