Akrapovic is probably better know for their exhaust products for motorcycles, but we have been seeing a lot from them as of late in relationship to cars. Their latest is definitely welcomed. Akrapovic’s Evolution Titanium Exhaust for Nissan’s GTR sheds a huge 17.3kg from the original exhaust equipped from the manufacturer. The 14.3kg exhaust has shown gains of 17hp @ 6260RPM and torque increase of 56.1 Nm @ 2600RPM (41.4 lb/ft) during their testing.

When it comes to Nissan’s GT-R it looks like titanium is the material of choice. We can understand too, its lightweight nature allows owner to effectively cut weight from stock pieces they replace. Zele has released two titanium exhaust pieces: their FZ-Titanium Muffler Type1 and FZ-Titanium Front Pipe. The FZ- Titanium Muffler Type1 is clever weight reducing single exit exhaust for the GT-R, the be honest I can’t think of that many on the market. Their front pipe is a good way to free up exhaust gasses on your GT-R with 70mm openings and a 80 mm exit.

Bigger pipe diameter, check. Lighter, check. Mine’s is one of the world’s best GTR tuners, few can dispute that. Their attention to detail can be seen in this kit, even more so that they have found new ways to release power that most have over looked. The inner diameter of the new kit is 60mm large when compared to the stock unit’s 45mm. Horsepower gains are listed between 20 -30hp.

Mine’s is amongst the best names in the world when it comes to GTR tuning. They have recently announced the release of their “Super Camshaft Shore Pro II” and Titanium downpipe for the R35 GTR. The specs on the new camshaft provide a great improvement on lift and duration over the stock units. As with all camshafts, power is relational to the tune, we look forward to seeing power numbers from these.
Coming in at a feather-weight 3.6kg, Mine’s Titanium straight pipe is a must have. The car’s secondary catalytic converters are removed to free up power and replaced with two resonators in order to keep the exhaust note at a manageable level.
