Default Buying Akropovic?

Hi again,

I`m looking at getting an Akropovic full system for my bike, am i right in thinking thats the choice to go for more outright power?
Also do any of you guys know what type of price i should expect to pay, or any dealers that use this forum would like to give me a quote including shipping to the UK?

Thanks in advance.

I think so with the power choice but what about looks? Those Titanium jobbies don`t look the pretiest thing outa the box. And damn your a post ***** in the newbie section.

It'll get you around 5 extra hp over just a slip on. You'll also drop a couple extra pounds. Gonna need a power commander to go with it to make the most of the new flow.

As far as post whoring goes -- well, I can't throw stones[8D] And Anubis is #8 on the list so ya know he knows what he's talkin about

I'd also look at Arata if you are going full system. There was a guy selling an Arata full system on Ebay for about $1100 buy it now. Not sure if he still has them for that price or not, but it is about $400 less than retail. I do like Akra however. My Ti slip on looks and sounds great. It isn't much louder than stock, but has a nice deep tone at idle and makes a bit more noise up top. I'm sure the full system would be much louder, and more powerfull.

Micron dosen't look too shabby.

I believe most of the weight saved is the can itself -- man that thing was a brick[:'(]
