Default The best exhaust for RCF has arrived? (Akrapovic, update its ARMYTRIX)

It sounds very similar to the Novel exhaust. Very high pitched and high strung noise

That's great news, but I don't see it mentioned anywhere on their website? Is it possible this kit hasn't been released yet?

That car sounded really loud. Is this a full exhaust including headers like the Novel system???

I actually don't think it's Akrapovic. I think it's the Armytrix catback (mentioned Armytrix at 4:40 - plus there's older videos regarding his Armytrix install) with some sort of long tube headers (maybe Novel?)


Older video regarding Armytrix install.

Don't think its Akrapovic. Doesn't look like Akra tips, neither do the mufflers.

The video is supposedly about the 'Akrapovic exhaust' (or so the video claims). Looks like some people are saying video is titled incorrect and that it is Armytrix exhaust. It certainly sounds different from Armytrix. So much more high pitched and high strung.

I believe it is paired with Novel headers which make it sound much more high pitched.

It's fitted with ARMYTRIX secondary de-catted pipe, mid pipe, valvetronic muffler and matte black tips, but the the long tube header is from a different brand.

It's likely the headers resulting in the higher pitch flat planing sound.
