The most sportive model offered by Porsche is the GT2. This car exhibits Porsche’s advanced technology, which is demonstrated in its ceramic composite brakes, maximum engine power with twin turbines and variable turbine geometry, but mainly, in its uncompromising lightweight components. The 997 GT2 is the first Porsche and also the first serial car which is originally equipped with a titanium exhaust system.
Because of comfort, durability and strict noise requirements regarding the exhaust system, some kind of compromise had to be made. This was reason enough for us to develop a real aftermarket “sport-exhaust version” for this super sports car. Our requirements were very simple: lighter, more powerful and better sounding exhaust system. Two hiflow 100 cpsi metallic cats, larger tube diameters, measuring not 55, but 60 mm, reduced the power-consuming backpressure by more than 50 %. This resulted in a power increase of 40,7 HP, a torque increase of 73,6 Nm and weight savings of 5,4 kg, compared to the stock system.
- Hard facts (100 cpsi cat version):
- plus 40,7 HP (at 4.080 rpm)
- plus 73,6 Nm (at 4.020 rpm)
- minus 5,4 kg
- When installing an aftermarket Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system, which is developed for use on closed track, we recommend remapping of the ECU to prevent possible “engine check light” warning signal.
