Yes, you do have to draw the line somewhere and the Akrapovic is a hell of a lot of money.
In my eyes I’d rather they skipped the leather and maybe replaced that with an all alcantara seat cloth then fitted the Akra as standard.
There’s obviously a reason they didn’t do that, maybe the leather tombstones are the nearest resemblance to the mk4 R32 Koenig seats visually so they went for a heritage nod there(?) but I’d have countered with the aural experience of the Akra being a nod to the VR6 soundtrack along with the tailpipes on either side which was another mk4 R32 first that flowed down the generations.
Looking forward to hearing about yours when it arrives Sean, it has a lot to live up to after your CSS.
