Re: full exhaust systems - what to go for price vs performance?
I got Akra pipes on ebay for ~£60 on ebay. (from Paiste on here I think) keeping my eye out for a bargain akra can and should have a full system for under £200 hopefully.

 The Akra headers are pretty much like stock system. Leo tapered is actually the best you can get. |

Re: full exhaust systems - what to go for price vs performance?
The Akra isnt like stock, its much lighter, less convoluted, has a larger diameter and as metal cones that fit into the exhaust ports of the engine block, well mine does anyway.

Re: full exhaust systems - what to go for price vs performance?
I think Zoran did comparison with akra, yosh and micron... micron came out best of those.
Comparing leo, micron and M4, leo wins it over M4 by a hair, micron well behind in the midrange. I would only bother with leo or M4. P.S the above info is subject to my memory. A few searches around the 'web will probably find more accurate detail.

Re: full exhaust systems - what to go for price vs performance?
Did Zoran's comparision include the weight savings or was its specifically about Power / Torque?

Leo is pretty light, M4 actually quite heavy.

Re: full exhaust systems - what to go for price vs performance?
See, me being a tart, go for Akra, as the quality of it all is really very nice!!
I don't have experience of the LeoVince or the others, so I can't comment. Plus the Akra system is very light. |
