NEW AKRAPOVIC EXHAUST.
 
This is the new Akrapovic exhaust for the 749/999 it looks stunning.

how much? what sizes are available?

looks the mutts and if its the usual akro quality will be nice system.
Termi quality leaves a little to be desired

I think it was 57mm, the quality was fantastic, I tried to blag it off them but they wouldnt be on.
Price was still to be confirmed !!!

For a while now I've thought, "why doesn't somebody make a system for the 749/999 that has two round or oval pipes sticking out the back to finish it off instead of oval slots"

And now they have.

I want one!!! Gorgeous...

The old one was so ugly no-one was buying it.

looks like somthing that comes out the end of a mini cooper.
good quality but not my cup of tea.
Termi every time for me ;)

deej 22-Sep-2004 22:14

mmmmmm, might be tempted to buy a 749 with a system like that available

Rattler 22-Sep-2004 22:16

Looks good, but what about the new GSXR1000 exhaust????

KeefyB 22-Sep-2004 23:43

Hmm,not bad,although I prefer the looks of the LeoVince.
Here's a pic of the Akrop's on Frankie Chilli's single swinger 999.
As for the Gixxer can,............:o:barfy:

looks ok, BUT! bet you its about £25.00 less than the termi, and even iff it was £250 less than the titanium termi, would still choose the termi, it just looks right, these here rounded pipes look too mutch 916ified. One thing which was right with the pre 05 999's was the looks/ shape of the termi exhaust, Not sure about a few other bits with the amount of mods & upgrades being done for 05.

The Akra exhaust is in the MCN today. £1850, removeable road-legal baffles, full system in titanium with stainless can. Saves over 8kg on the standard set-up.

I want, I want, I want...

dickieducati 29-Sep-2004 12:14

as always will probably be great quality but imho round pipes just dont work with the 999. the letterbox style exits compliment the whole style of the rear dont know why they didnt just try to improve to termi system maybe they couldnt.

Twinfan 29-Sep-2004 12:28

Easier to make removeable baffles with round exits I guess :)

mark996 30-Sep-2004 01:15

Maybe wait and see.....??
 
I think that I agree with that - I'd have to see one actually attached to a bike before thinking of buying the Akro system for my 749. I know there was the picture of the system on Chili's machine, but thats a whole lot different to seeing one on a otherwise 'stock', road going machine.....

Had full Akro Ti system on the SP2 - different class with regards to the build quality, and polishes up nice too with the help of some WD40!
