I've got one of the AK Automotive exhausts, the one without a cat that links up to the end of the manifold - I love it Quiet on idle and below about 2k, gets a little 'rorty' in the mid-range, sounds nicely tuneful at higher revs but without being blaring and one-note-y, all the while it's not unsociably loud. It also looks standard from the back, so ideal if you want to release some noise (and apparently horses) without blatantly looking like a boy-racer lol I like the fact it has/adds 'character' - they aren't very cheap but I am pleased with the results for the money. I'm hoping to get on the rollers at Skuzzle to see if it's made any difference to a previous run

Are you going on the 25th? Could take a listen if so

I am trying to work it out!
I think my timing is badly out so I need some runs to get it set up properly, either before or on the day - I need to drop Skuzzle a line and get it done before the day, I think, as I don't want to take the piss and stop others from getting their runs done. Either that or work something out where I turn up at the crack of dawn on 25th and help set up the BBQ etc!

I can add, they're good exhausts. I'm running one in the winter slag and it is performing beautifully. Fruity on WOT/5K+ rpm.

Are the AK exhausts available off the shelf or made to order? Cant find any info on their site.

I seem to remember that the website was pretty terrible when I ordered mine lol Give them a ring is the best bet, I reckon. I think they are made to order so have a couple of weeks lead time, but they might keep one in stock because the race cars that run them might need one at short notice (maybe??). There are a couple of videos on youtube that give a rough hint of the noise, but they don't capture the changing character through the rev range or the little flames and pops when hot and changing up near the limiter sometimes!

My issue with the Cobalt is the janky exit, I like a plain stainless pipe. Might just have to go with whatever's cheap while my bank balance recovers and I can afford an AK race.
