PipeWerx Exhausts

[Alzo]

That's a better picture...it actually looks really good.

[Gobert]

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.........

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 :-)

I quoted those figures to show you can get a full system for less than £2600.

The small weight difference means nothing on the road and there's no chance the bike will have to go through a noise test unless Moz does a 180 degree u turn on track days.

To be honest, I want it sensibly quiet so as not to upset Mr Hedlu.

I was meaning for the S1000r...£2600 is the full system price...and the only one BMW have no issues with if fitted.

personally I think it looks pretty good as it is.. No need for any 'infill' panels IMO.

Do you have to get it re-mapped now the CAT is gone ?  it's a bit more than just an end can so I imagine you do.

How heavy was the CAT, OE end can and link pipe ?  With all the garbage that was fitted to my bike when I got it, OE can, plate hanger and luggage rack I recon I saved the best part of 10kgs and it was a noticable difference..  Mostly the fact it was not quite so keen to wheelie everywhere as most of the weight was high up and at the back of the bike.

[MOzZereLLa]

I reckon I've saved about 4 kgs so not a massive amount. My decat is stainless so it's not that light.

I'll get it dynoed to check the fuelling as I don't want it lean. Slow time I'll look into getting it remapped unless it is lean then I'll get it sorted sooner.

Looks good Moz. We still need to sort a meet-up in N Wales.

Has it still got the lambda sensor or did that come out with the cat? Surely it will be correcting any fuel change to keep it from running lean!?

[MOzZereLLa]

Lambdas still in but as I understand it the closed fuelling loop they control only works to about 6-7000 rpm.

He only other issue it seems to be causing is an increase in chassis vibes. I think this is because the oem cat is mounted at 3 points to the lower chassis using rubber mounting shims to dampen any vibes. The stainless decat uses none of them clamping to the downpipes and the end can only.

Doesn't sound like an ideal support arrangement for the exhaust! Bit more weight coming through the silencer hanger transmitting some vibration into the tail/seat unit!?

[Carbon_ZX6R]

This is what happens when you fiddle!

[MOzZereLLa]

The Akrapovic link pipe fits in exactly the same way.

[David W]

No different to how aftermarket systems have fitted since forever.

[Millhouse]

Looks lovely!!

[MOzZereLLa]

Vibe issues fixed with neoprene rubber spacers and rubber washers on the hanger.

It's still too loud!!!
