Just wondering if anyone with a tcr with the akra can tell me what the exhaust is like in everyday use? Does it drone on motorways or can it be fairly civilised?

It's very quiet from inside the car. No droning, perfectly civilised on motorways etc. Slightly louder if in sport mode but i think it's fake noise. I need to hear it from outside!

To be honest a neighbours relative visits every so often and he has a MK7.5 gti and on start up and pulling away its a lot louder than my TCR + Akra.

To me the Akra is very low key, but it has a nicer sound (subjective) when you get up the top end of the revs.

That’s great to know. Good info guys thanks. I’ve got a friend who’s looking at a tcr and he’s a bit stuck if it’s worth only looking at an akra equipped one. Cheers.

The Akrapovic is lighter, looks better but sound wise there is nothing in it really. When looking for a TCR it was a nice to have but not a necessity, having DCC was much more important to me. The extra cost of the Akra exhaust can easily push the car over the 40k mark and then you jn for much more tax, i'll stick with my stainless system thanks.

Just get a decent TCR with DCC and other extra options as i did, if it comes with an Akra exhaust then bonus......but not essential imo.
