1200S - Akropovic / HPE / or whatever?

OK, let's say I have the money handy...
Should I stick with my Akrokošit back end, or...
... lash out on HPE, or...
... get something else entirely, or...
... it doesn't matter a damn unless I junk the cat?
Is it worth it for the noise alone? My Akros sound quite nice with a certain obstruction removed, but not as nice as my old R1100S sounded with Lasers.

Definitly the latter----Junk the bl--dy cat But why bother if its going in P/X for a new bike soon?

Ah... slight cross purposes... all the non-standard stuff from my old bike (Ilmberger stuff and the Akros) are to be transferred across to the newer one.

In that case I would invest in the Akro header pipes or failing that the Remus headers and keep the Akro cans.

Hmmmm... I have just written about that very point to John Clark's. The differential in price is less than £300 (according to Nippy Norman's anyhow), and that would suit me fairly well. If there is an alternative, maybe Clark's will point it out to me.

ive had a full akra system, a full HPE system and a BOS front pipe into Akra rear.
The BOS / Akra and the Akra full system I heartily recommend
