Do you want my honest opinion..............

(+ where the f**k are those cheques?)

Ask Paul about the the cheques. Not my bag. 

And I don't care what you opinion is The fact is I could never afford the "premium" brands and this will improve the sound, power and weight without breaking the bank and hopefully keep Mr Plod happy. 

demon tweaks offer some nice finance options....

Maybe not being able to afford it also includes the feeling that four figures plus on an exhaust system is not justifiable either.

I'm happy with my budget can. I'll report back when I ride it tomorrow.

Yip I would need to part with £2600 for a full Akky system....I'm not skint...but I wouldn't pay that...

£1400 for a full Akro system, £1200 for a full Arrow system to fit the new R1..............not that I'm thinking of buying one of course.........

But the stock headers are better than fine. No need for a full system.

The Akra is in stainless your quoting.... which is heavier than OEM (decat aside fwiw).  Also the Arrow wont get anywhere near a track in the UK. (112dB +).  The Akra is also the largest can I've ever seen !

Moz - I think yours looks just fine dude :-)

Thanks dude.

I really wanted to wear Phil's exquisite creation but sadly could not afford it or justify the changes to the bike (lambdas ditched etc) that will get traded in a couple of years anyway. To be able to unbolt a link pipe and unplug an EXUP fooling eliminator box is much easier come trade in.

I needed something semi sensible for noise and as the PipeWerx (still a monumentally cringeworthy name) can looks 100 times better than the horrendous Akky carbon whale's penis I'm happier still.

Ive just seen the akky fitted to a red one, It made my face go sad....

The Akra full system that I have seen has a pretty ugly looking can, not what I would have expected from them. I would expect it makes some good gains but it would be a no from me on looks alone. The can only option Neevsy has looks nice enough but retains the cat. If the Arrow full system is just too loud and needs a baffle to get it on circuit losing most of its gains then I can't see the point. I've not seen anything from the well known high end brands that I really like for the new R1, I'm surprised that Arata have not come up with anything yet as their stuff is usually even nicer than Akrapovic, maybe they are struggling with noise too so have not put anything out.

Likewise if i was lucky enough to be in the market the Seton system would be a no brainer as it looks good, is quiet enough and still makes the gains. I've no doubt that the backup will be great and in the event of any damage it can be refurbed at minimal cost. Would probably be able to have it updated if it is developed further in the future. So far seem to be the only manufacturer to clear the cat, make the power gains and pass UK trackday noise tests. Someone from one of the big players will soon be buying one to chop up to understand how its done!

When Moz initially suggested Pipewerx I was surprised but you cant deny that it gives a good solution for a sensible amount of money while removing the cat. Agree its sensible for road and occasional track use where you don't want to go too far modding the bike as you may wish to return to stock. Would be interesting to see how it noise tests and what sort of dyno figures come from it before/after a reflash and if it can still make strong gains while still within the allowed TD noise limits.

I hope to get a cover for the cat-gap left behind but even that doesn't look too bad on the R1. Certainly better that the gaps you get on Suzukis, Hondas and the S1000RR when you decat.

Plus, it's quite interesting when you consider how many road bikes with shorty cans use full length ones on their race bikes. Pata Honda use a full length can in the WSB, the factory Yam used one at Suzuka (that looked like a stock 2015 S1RR exhaust) so there must be advantages in the full length exhaust.

Agree with the empty space....and on these modern bikes the Cats are doing a lot of sound suppression.

Looks good. Gets my vote.

Nice bike.

Seem to remember reading once that the longer the pipes are before they get to the silencer, the better the power.  There's arguable only one place a catalytic converter can fit on a bike so I guess the factory has no choice but to put it there?
