Akra shorty vs Arrow shorty

KingEdwardR6 · 10-04-2011, 02:14 AM

Looking to get a full system and was looking at these 2. I read that the db level of the new arrow exhaust is 107 db w/out the silencer but can seem to find what the db rating is for the Akra. Does anyone know which one is louder? Can't really decide which one I want cause I like the looks of both of them.

I heard 108db for the akra somewhere on here. Arrow has a removable db killer which is why I ruled out the akra when I was deciding.

I've heard 115db but wasnt sure, 108db sounds more reasonable. Does anyone have an exact number? Just might have to call Akra when I get to work today.

Vidaeis, what exhaust system do you have?

I have an Austin Racing ARCS GP3 with a V3 can and carbon fiber belly pan on the way from the UK. I chose is because the exhaust portion is about 860 and I think it's gorgeous. The carbon belly pan thats custom designed for the GP3 is just a little more than buying fiberglass and paying for paint. The exhaust is cheaper due to retaining the stock headers. That allowed for the purchase of the full belly pan + exhaust using just the money I had set aside for full exhaust. Another deciding factor was that Arrow and Akra have yet to return any emails from 3 weeks ago. Austin Racing isn't too big to answer back! Another thing I liked was that Austin owners and other seem to agree that it has a unique bad a$$ tone. Not trying to write a book here but I got caught up trying to sum up the last four months of dreaming and research. :-)
