I was wanting an exhaust for my 09 that lost the heavy OEM system, looked good, and wasnt loud that also made good power. At first I was sold on the Yoshimura system, after talking with many busa fanatics and some people from here they told me about the Akrapovic system. I decided on the Akrapovic system after reading and reading about it online and seeing the dyno charts.
I havent had the bike dyno tuned yet with the ECU editor. So basically I am riding a stock bike with the stock ECU and no PC. I just got done riding 200 miles today. The fuel mileage stayed right around 39 MPG (this is with a GPS calibrated speedo)
So here is my impression so far.
1) Tone= Quiter then I expected. I havent removed the noise reducer cap yet.
2) Appearance= Very high qaulity, great welds, beautiful finish and fits very nicely.
3) Weight= I can feel the difference in the bike in the cornering and also accleration bike just feels more balanced now.
4) Last but least. Power curve. As I stated I havent had it tuned yet nor am I running any type of PC system. It idles smooth, it may have lost a little low end torque around the 1000-3000 range nothing real noticable. Around 5000 she really begins to come alive and pulls harder then with the OEM system, she begins to lift around 5500 and carries it through into 2nd gear dropping the tire at around 110-115
I really like this exhaust system and honestly I dont see myself on the dynoi getting it tuned yet. Didnt loose any MPG, its smooth throughout the RPM range, and the engine temp stayed dead on where it always stays.
Thanks again for all the advice from those that gave there suggestion for the Akrapovic.
