Default Akrapovic??? Best sound i've heard.

What's up, just wanted to ask if anyone has experience with Akrapovic Slip-ons?

I saw another 600RR with a Akrapovic Carbon Fiber Slip-on a few hours ago, and the guy started it up. OMFG! Extremely deep, throaty sound. Very mellow unless you really got on it, then it sounded like a straight up race bike. (deep, throaty race bike that is. lol.). I fell in LOVE with it's sound. I'm thinking I just might max out the ol' credit card to get me one of these. lol.

Anyway, just wanted to get some feedback on these systems. (pros, cons, troubles?)

Thanks..............(oh, and for anyone interested.....YES, they are street legal).

I am thinking about one of those for next summer.

But first up is braided hose followed by rear sets and the akrapovic with a power command.

The hexversion right? suppose to be road legal too (UK).

I just looked at Akrapovic web site and they do list a legal one... coming soon so the one you've heard isn't street legal.

in the Uk Akrapovic offers 2 versions of their pipes road and race. I assume its just baffles in the pipe. check it out.

Its a common thing over here in England. Loud pipes, mini number plates and tinted visors.

I use a tinted visor but I always carry a clear one.
