Evolution exhaust system for Nissan GT-R

Despite the substantial weight of the car, we must remember that we are talking about a sports car. Namely, Nissan GT-R was one of the fastest street legal cars on famous track Nordschleife. We are confident that the GT-R will be even faster at Green Hell with its newly developed Akrapovic aftermarket Evolution exhaust system, because we made it considerably more powerful as well as lighter. Engineers achieved that by using high quality titanium.

This light and strong material runs from the front of the Evolution system all the way through the four big titanium or carbon fiber tail pipes, which are like a mirror image of GT-R´s taillights, a trademark of this sporty Nissan.

Performance

Hiding behind the aggressive titanium or carbon fiber end pipes, is a story of hard work carried out by Akrapovic engineers, who were able to find an additional 17 HP (at 6.260 rpm) and 56,1 Nm (at 2.600 rpm). With the Evolution exhaust system, the GT-R improved the elasticity and responsiveness of its powerful engine in the entire rpm range, which is the best way to improve on-road performance. The Evolution is especially effective between 2.000 and 3.500 rpm, which makes daily driving even more fun. Additionally, Evolution offers great advantages with regard to weight. The stock exhaust system is 17,3 kilograms heavier, while Akrapovic’s fully titanium made system weighs only 14,3 kilograms. Thus, its power to weight ratio is unbeatable. We are very proud of our achievements in improving Nissan GT-R’s performance data. We would also like to emphasize its muscular design and the sporty sound of the four big tail pipes.
