Akrapovic Slip On Titanium Exhaust

[The Eagles]

I am reaching out to owners of newer models with after market performance exhaust systems for advice. I would love to have a pair of the Akrapovic "bad boys" (on a 2 year old GTS) to increase driving excitement but discussions with local Porsche Centre (car purchased from them) do not look promising.

PC: "We would not be able to fit the Akrapovic Exhaust as this is not a Porsche approved option, as such this would be a barrier to extending the warranty in the future and in the unlikely event of a warranty claim for example relating to the engine having an aftermarket silencer in place could be a reason for rejection".

Me: "Would the warranty remain intact for other claims / faults that are completely unrelated to the existence of the Akrapovic SlipOn exhaust (I understand this to be a bolt on part only... I am not even considering the link pipes that are more intrusive)?"

PC: "I would not recommend fitting any non-Porsche exhaust components as this would potentially void any warranty claim relating to the engine or for example the Particulate filters / Catalytic converters. Any exhaust modifications would unfortunately leave you exposed in this area"

Has anyone managed to find a solution to this? Does anyone here know any Akrapovic friendly PCs out there?

Many thanks!

It's a Porsche warranty, not an OPC warranty

So I doubt you'll get a different answer anywhere else.

That's a pity since the factory itself uses Akrapovic systems on GT cars.

Thats crazy that as your only after a bit noise and some Porsche come with “optional extras” Akrapovic exhausts, How come you can buy a Porsche in the states with no OPF and still have a Porsche warranty then

I know, it's ridiculous - they could be making extra money here but choose not to.

Tim, if you haven't seen it, it is worth reading the Porsche Approved Warranty contract so you are properly informed as to what it actually says, rather than making a decision based on opinions. As you will no doubt be aware, it’s an insurance contract and is different from the original new car warranty. You can download it from https://assets-v2.porsche.com/gb/-/...orsche-Approved-Warranty-Terms-and-Conditions

Thank you Brian, very useful reference point.
Will need to have 1-2 friendly dealers on my side (even if they are a little further away) before launching into this.
