I have an 04 cbr1000rr red. I am debating between an arata full system and an akrapovic full system. The cbr is the heaviest of the japanese 1000s so i want to lighten it up a few and plus gain monster hp. any suggestions anyone? how about color wise? titanium or carbon fider would match the red cbr better?

 

My 2Bros CF lightened it up 6 lbs and gained 4 hp (I didn't have it dynoed, this is their number). The Micron is nice looking as well. How much weight do they say a full system will take off? As far as gaining monster hp I think it's realistic to gain maybe 6 hp max with just an exhaust system swap.

 

i dont know about mircons. i helped my friend install slip-ons on his 04 r1 and they were heavy! the reason i mentioned arata and akrapovic is bc they are full titanium systems.

 

The Akropovic is the most rediculous one I have seen for weight savings. I read in an exhaust review on 1000rr.net that it dropped 19 lbs with the full system.

Mine will be in Tuesday

 

arata, sato, akra, or arrow.

 

how about d & d or blueflame? at least they keep the theme of the stock can

 

D&D is crap. I've never heard of blueflame.

 

why is d and d crap? blueflame is awesome, my friend has one on his 636 and it sounds great

 

D&D's just don't seem to make any power on any brand of bike. The workmanship is medium at best and the sound is more raspy than deep. I got a 2Bros on my 1000rr - you can hear it on my site.

 

yeah, im not so keen on 2 bros. never liked them, but im glad you enjoy it. never had a d and d either but it's the only one that keeps with the dual hole pipe.
