Despite the lingering frustration and thoughts that it would never arrive, my new-to-me Akrapovic full exhaust finally arrived today. Woohoo!!!!! Now I just have to find a way to sneak away for a few minutes to install it Oh yeah, and test ride it too, he he

 

Pics please before the install

 

CONGRATS Micky! I know what you've been through and how long you've been waiting, enjoy!

 

We need pics!

 

Man, I hope the wait is worth it.

 

You and me both (not to mention the money!), lol

I pulled it out of the box to inspect it and everything is in top shape. Very well crafted with tapered tubes and an auxiliary by-pass on the rear header. The cans, which are titanium, are extremely light. I removed the Akrapovic stickers (want it to be as "stealthy" as possible as the cops around here are getting sticky about after market pipes so I want to reduce my exposure; besides, the stickers look tacky IMO). I have decided to put off the creamic coating (will remove it later and have it done so as to not lose riding time) and will try to install it tomorrow...

 

good luck with them, a bro had nothing but problems with his akro ti cans with burn marks; and they would not stand behind them.

 

Hope you take a couple of pics before you fit them. Be nice to get a good look at the collector and balance pipe.

 

will do

 

Aaannnd, what will become of your Blue Flame can?

 

I'll be selling off the entire system (stock header with heat wrapping and high-temp exhaust paint, and cleaned up inner welds), link pipe (painted flat black with high-temp paint) with collars, Blue Flame Dual Port can (re-packed last year), high mount bracket (anodized black) and custom ZX-9 passenger pegs (which enable you to keep momma happy). However, Yamadog has first dibs as he contacted me about one month ago to express interest. The set-up has a wicked sound and works quite well too

 

Uploaded a pic of the collector and balancing tube in my gallery

 

congrates ! the header w/ crossover looks good.... get those mounted pics up soon !!!

tim

 

Are they larger diameter than stock or is it just the picture that makes it look that way?

 

What's the auxiliary by-pass and what's it for? I'm planning on building my own headers to convert to an undertail exhaust soon and don't know what that is or what it's for.
