Having owned an Akrapovic exhaust before, I'd bite the bullet and go with their stuff. It's exquisitely well made.

(right colour too eh Peter?)

Deffo go with the Akra ( have any of you lot experienced an Akra system on either a Honda SPC2 or KTM Superduke....it's the stuff wetdreams are made of!). I had a Akra on my Tuono......big grin factor!
Failing that I'd go for Arrow (also very well made).

Is there an Arrow system? Couldnt find that.

Wonder if there will be anyone there with a bit of movement oin them at the NEC.

Must admit I think teh Akra would look cool on the Black S

Not at present it seems.But they did one for the 11S so I should imagine their R&D are making the jig as we speak?!

Having seen the Remus, it's a bit "aesthetically challenged" (i.e. ugly). The Akra does look nice and appears to be well engineered.

What????

I'd want to buy it flowers, whisper sweet nothings to it and take to be.....

G'wan g'wan g'wan...you know you want it (is there a smiley for the little devil from National Lampoon's Animal House?)

Totally agree re the Remus - good solid gear but a tad 'Teutonic'.

Ahem....have you seen the standard cats arse?

I think most of us have - but Remus had the opportunity to improve on it, but didn't take it imho.

[PBBoxer]

Have you seen teh Zard one?
Its the one that's in teh Wunderlich catalogue.
I quite like it.
The laser one looks a bit like an afterthought to me
Staintune one sticks out a mile.



For me at the mo, its a toss-up between Zard and Akra, but also teh Akra is BMW approved, so not warranty issues.
Its just that I could get teh Zard one and still have some spons to get hugger and numerous other bits.
I dunno what to do

Have to agree with the others on this one Paul.

The Zard looks good, but not as good as the Akra.
Tell yourself you will be able to get more for it when you come to sell. May not be strictly true but it's helped me 'justify' buying the expensive one a few times

Cheers

Actually haven't seen most the exhausts you lot are talking about but i did see the BOS catalogue in a dealer the other day. The 1200S zorst is a bit 916 like Don't know about cost though but must be cheper than an Akra

Im still trying to justify the expense to change the zorst on my BCR

[PBBoxer]

Hmmm that Bos one does look nice. Love the Black S the way they done it on the pdf:
