FYI
Akrapovic makes the exhaust for the Hayabusa in a Sport Production version only, you can get it with either a titanium or carbon fiber canister, that's it there is no race or street version just Sport Production!!
MSRP for this system in either ti or C/F is approximately $1300.00. (The price changes with demand) Lockhart Philips is the only distributer for Akrapovic exhausts. Everybody ultimately gets them from LP. As I said earlier there is no firm price you have to call LP to get the price of the day. If you look in their catalog to look up the price it says (Call for Pricing). I can usually get and sell this exhaust for between $850.00 and $900.00. plus shipping. If Ruff Ryder had installed and used this system I would agree that he should take a hit on the price, but he stated that is was new in the box. I don't think you'll find it much cheaper anywhere else, and if you do, do they have it in stock. I don't know Ruff Ryder in any way shape or form, except from this post, so I'm not defending him or trying to help him sell his pipe. All I'm saying is that his price is reasonable for a brand new pipe and that it's availabe right now (no back order delay.
I'll get off my soap box know.
Ride fast be safe
