Exhaust options

Hey guys,
I am driving 650GC currently, even I have the M sport exhaust comes with the car, I do want let the car make some more noise.
I have looked at Eisenmann, Supersprint, Meisterschaft. etc., but for some reasons I did not go with these brands.
My ideal one will be Akrapovic, but it seems like they will never make one for 650.
However, there is one brand Capristo, the sound of it is unique but the finish is just amazing. The price of the rear muffler only is around 4399 euros.
It is kind of huge amount f money for the muffler.
Did any folk have any experience with the brand?

Thanks a lot.

My buddy has it on has Panamera, and it's sounds great. I like the remote control key fob.

But 6,500 USD is pricey.

Sounds great, though.

Thanks for reply bud. Have you had any chance sit in his panamera? Is there any drone inside the cabin?
Yes, I know it is kind of pricey for the two rear sections only, but the sound and finish are just amazing.
I just need somebody has experience with it to convince it is worth to go.

Noted from their website -

Capristo Exhausts are made with T309 stainless steel, which has a higher temperature resistance than the most commonly used T304 stainless steel used on most aftermarket exhaust systems. T309 stainless steel is very comparable to "inconel" which is the material used on most Formula 1 exhausts today.

Yes Steve, I also noticed about it on their website and I think that's the reason why the sound of it is kind of unique.

Does anyone have any comparison between Akropavic versus Capristo?

I do not have it, but Akrapovic does not have a set for 650 specifically.

Lots of folks are satisfied with it, but it is built in Korea. Not a huge fan of Korean automobile products.
