Default I'm About To Drop Over $1,000 On A Exhaust! Is This The Best Price For Akrapovic Evo?
Akrapovic Evolution Full Exhaust - $1,388.95



http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-ZX...Q5fAccessories

I spent 1 hour searching the whole internet and this was the cheapest I could find it. Is it worth it or is there someplace else that is cheaper? I am upgrading from a Yoshi RS-5 Slip On. Big Performance and Sound difference? I hope so. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

That is the lowest I was able to find at the shops I regulary go to. One question though ... any reason you want the EVO versus the Race? The weight difference is negligible and the performance is IDENTICAL ... yet the Race (stainless) is a few hundred $$$ cheaper than the EVO (titanium). The cans are identical in both systems.

Hmmm, I just thought the evolution was the best. lol I am trying to lose 5 pounds anyways so I might as well get the race version and see the same difference lol. Damn. Now I have to go and search the whole internet for the cheapest Akrapovic Race Full Exhaust. Thanks though!

I can't believe how much the prices of the Akra's have increased!!! Back when I looked at the two sets ... the EVO was around $1300 and I ended up buying the Race for $970.

Hmmm

Akrapovic Racing FULL Exhaust System - $1,149.95

http://www.surfsidemoto.com

It's only $239.00 difference between the Race and the Evolution? What should I do?!?!?!?

Same here ... the guy I deal with at a shop in Omaha may be able to get better pricing as well. He's at lunch and will be back in 1/2 an hour. I'll call him and get prices for you. If they are priced better ... I'll give you his contact info and you can deal with him directly.

He just called me back. He said he doesn't do enough business with Akra to get a discount on it like the bigger shops. He can't even come close to the pricing you have found.

Holy crap! I really appreciate your effort in calling him and relaying the message speeddeemn! So, what should I do? Should I save $239.00 and get the Racing or just go with the Evolution?
