Starting from humble beginnings, Igor Akrapovič (pronounced: "Ack-rap-o-vich") began designing and building custom exhaust systems for his own racing motorcycle. Work then spread to friends and the local community to the point where it became a viable niche business in 1990. For the past 20 years the Slovenian company has skillfully and diligently worked to bring its high-end brand of street, track, and off-road motorcycle products to true legendary status among riding enthusiasts and factory race teams alike. With this mountain climbed and development and production on-going in the motorcycle aftermarket and race tracks worldwide, Akrapovič challenged itself further in 2007 by setting its sights on its next target, the automotive world.
