Default Bought a Akrapovic slip-on!

I was surfing craigslist and saw a local ad for a Akrapovic slip-on exhaust for a F4i, and he was selling it for $250! So I talked to him and I ended up picking it up. I have always wanted an Akrapovic exhaust, but never wanted to pay the $600 price tag. Anyway, here is some pics and a video.

I think it looks much better and sounds much better than my old D&D exhaust. The D&D needed repacking anyway and so it was obnoxiously loud.

I will probably keep the stock one, but I will sell the D&D if someone wants it. It does have scratches on the cannister and it does need re-packed, so someone could buy it for cheap.

Looks great, good deal! Akrapovic goes perfect with the black/silver.
