I just swapped the stock cannister and slip on portion of pipe for the Akrapovic. I've been holding (caressing???;)) my Akrapovic ti system for weeks now, and couldn't take it any more... it always felt really light.

BUT SWEET LORD TUNDERIN' JEESES the stocker weighs a TON !!! It is UNREAL the difference in weight between the Akro and the stocker... they say 9 pounds but it feels like even more. I honestly think the stock can is made of lead, and the lead pipe has a good chunk of cement content. It's unreal the difference.

I'll be posting more pics soon. By the way, sounds louder than stock, not obnoxious, with a deep idle and throaty rev to it. Much smoother than my last pipe (D&D) but still loud enough to draw attention. Very nice, kinda sexy sound...

Actually I find Yosh and Akro to be a similar volume... I'm talking the RS3 Race here, not the street-legal Zyclone version...

But I think the Akro is a little louder on top, more "waily" than the Yosh.

My buddy with the Hindle on the R6 can be heard a couple subdivisions over. That's how I know when they're close to the house, and I start getting my helmet on... LOL... it's RUDE loud.

Sweet Action... finally huh? It'll all pay off when you twist the throttle brother... You're gonna be stretching your helmet liner with the grin...
