Having had both and seen all the others I would rate the Akras way above any other brand. The fit and finish is second to none but the price is way more than any others.
The Termis do 'suit' the 1098 well and they have a raw bark to them. Ducati and Termi go together naturally but if the cost is not considered then go for Akra but buy the full system.
There are no cats in the pipework and they are only present in the original silencers. NO aftermarket exhaust have cats fitted to them apart from maybe the titanium version of the Termis.
Leo Vinci are good quality but to me the pipework looked very thin and I personally was not keen on the shape of the carbon heatshield. Zards are quite unusual and they also appear to be decent quality.
