Arguably the best exhaust in all aspects - sound, aesthetic and material quality...just a bit pricey but you get what you pay.

If one had to consider only one mod, Akrapovic exhaust would be it and this entire thread serves as proof.

Congratulations!

The overall diameter is slightly larger when including the carbon aesthetic surround. However actual exhaust exit is no larger than stock. Stock is sufficiently large IMO. No reason to increase size.

I was asking Akrapovic exactly about it. They said they don't recommend slip on + opf due to its sound was below their standard.

Thanks for the response.
So it's better to stay with the OEM exhaust as long as the OPF is not removed?

I would still put the Akra slip-on. I think it will still sound good and the Akra tips look awesome.
