this is what we need when we search for exhaust fly by video, superb quality. u know what the people wanna see and hear
Appreciate it my friend, Im happy the video satisfied your curiosity in its entirety :D
This has to be the best exhaust video out of all the exhaust videos. Great job. And slick bike!!
Glad to know you found the video useful to your needs and thanks for the compliments, cheers!
Best exhaust sound comparison nd review video ever
Thanks Shagil! Im glad that you found the video useful 🙌
I’ll be putting that on mine when I pick up my SP this month appreciate the video👍🏻
Nice! Congrats on the purchase my friend and I'm sure you'll love your bike, its super fun! Just make sure to at least complete engine break-in before changing exhausts to make the most power out of it possible.
Thank you for uploading this! Solid job mate 👍
My pleasure friend, glad you’ve found it useful!
Super Nice! Anxious to get my MT-09 SP 2021 with the same colors as yours. Stunning!
Thanks! Best of luck with your purchase
The stock exhaust on Yamahas new cp3 bikes are immaculate. Pure. I wouldnt be swapping out unless I want to shave down on weight.
Fair point! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us
Very good comparison. It includes everything. Thanks!
Youre much welcome Mustafa! Glad you found it useful :)
Its a really good video! Thank you very much for showing everything brother
My pleasure, shiny side up for you as well!
Muito bom o vídeo. Muito útil tbém pra ajudar a escolher. Eu tive akrapovic na MT-09 2019, mas acho que vou de Yoshimura na nova, é o som que me agradou mais até agora.
Boa Erick! A finalidade do vídeo era exatamente essa, ajudar vocês a escolher o melhor de acordo com seu gosto pessoal.
Great video mate, and great bike I ordered my 2022 sp can’t wait
Thanks! I’m sure you’ll have a blast with your new bike. These things are stupid fun!
Awesome video of the exhaust upgrade!! I ride 2019 Triumph Street Triple RS but I’m always fond of this worthy competitor bike 👌👊 Cheers from 🇨🇦
From 2018 to 2019 I owned a Street Triple 765 S and she also had an exhaust. Love how Triumph triples sound as well, so good! Glad you liked the video and thanks for stopping by
How would you compare the two?
@@corruptionoutdoors I would compare them as a sports car from Aston Martin and a sports car from Nissan. The AM is more refined, fast but smooth/composed and has better build quality (with a higher price tag as well). The Nissan is the maximum bang for the buck, fully customizable and overflowing character but lacks refinement on finishing touches.
Translating that feedback to these bikes, its exactly the same.
This is a great video. Nice comparison.
Thanks my friend! Im glad you found it useful :)
Parabéns men pela moto top. Excelente ficou vídeo continuar assim
Valeu Rafael! Fico feliz que tenha gostado do vídeo, podexa que vou continuar caprichando sempre
Aguardando ansiosamente a vinda desse modelo pro Br, tá maluco 😻
Braba demais viu Douglas, é muito top!
@@IgorBrandao andei na 2018 ainda sem o Quick shifter, já é um tesão e uma brutalidade lascada. Quero andar na 2020/2021 com quick, deve ser uma baita sensação boa mano. Quero pegar a 2020/2021 ainda com os faróis em projetor duplo
The perfect demo thanks
You’re most welcome!
Brilliant video done properly
Thanks Steve! Glad you found the video useful :D
Rapaz o som do original até que não é ruim não, mas o som esportivo é lindo e nos faz vibrar
Sounds so good.😍😍
IKR? Akra ftw ❤️
Awesome job!
Many thanks!
very well done comparison!
I like the stock exhaust more, since I don't enjoy that resonant low-middy-boxy honk of tha akrapovic as much as the fairly broad and even sound of the stock box.
(and I ride a CP3 bike myself, so I'm glad I'm not getting jealous right here ;D)
The video gives a sense of how the noise goes, but IRL is a bit different. Thanks for sharing your opinion!
Best video and comparison
Thanks Daniele! Glad it was useful to you :)
Sounds heavenly
In person it is even better! Definitely a must for this bike
That sounds amazing
Thanks ✌🏼
Thank you! Welp made my decision to upgrade much easier! Well done.
Great to hear! Happy riding
Am I the only one who thinks the stock exhaust sounds awesome?? 🤔😅
Not at all Moises, I think so too! The only issue for me is that when its over 50/60 mph, that sound can’t be heard anymore… if it weren’t for that, probably I would be rocking the stock exhaust for a good while before swapping
Decat and I think it would actually be really nice, it's just a bit too quiet for what I like but it does sound really good. I haven't heard it from the 3rd person (until this video which has the best sound quality test I've seen so far), but on the bike all you really hear is the intake noise.
@@hendrxx_ thanks! I've tried my best to capture the sounds from the outside on most different applications and it turned out alright. If you want sounds from the rider perspective, there are plenty of POV videos on the channel running stock and akra exhausts. Decat could indeed be very interesting for this bike, but I am afraid of tampering with and end up needing a compliant exhaust to pass an emission test in the future...
@@IgorBrandao I actually own it, is what I was trying to say! So I know all about sound in person, I just never heard it from a non riders view. And it sounds better than I thought so thank you for sharing
@@hendrxx_ oh gotcha loud and clear this time, congrats on the bike my friend!
Very very Nice... Congratulações.
Valeu Charles!
Nice video. Thank you so much.
It's an inspiring video.
Appreciate the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video
Glad you liked it!
Stock exhaust is awesome I like my xsr900 and 21 mt10 stock exhaust
Yeah, it sounds surprisingly good despite all the emission equipment they have to include in it. Science wizardry!
nice Video!
Thumbs up 👍
Thanks!
Excellent! Now if I could just get my hands on one..
You will my friend, trust!
@@IgorBrandao Thanks 🤙🏻
Tbh i prefer the stock sound over the akra but im waiting for more options.
Love the new sp and if i want to be loud ill take my stage ll mt01 out but that bike is completely different then my sp. love both bikes though
The stock isn’t all that bad indeed. The problem for me is that after 50mph, you can’t hear the bike anymore… on all other occasions it is nice, but not all. The akra is way better at that, because not only makes the bike audible in all conditions, but also adds pops and crackles when quickshifting up and down. So much fun!
@@IgorBrandao true but ive got the sidecases so id prefer an exhaust thats tucked away under the bike like with the previous gen. Until then im gonna keep it stock and hopefully sc or another brand makes a good sounding exhaust thats not on the side like the akra
@@viking-bfh4638 I totally understand you! So much that I myself am getting an Yoshi for this bike. The only reason I got the akra is because yoshi is 4 months out to start producing the full system for this bike… this akra looks hideous sticking out of the bike like that…
cool video as always!
Igor, how about the weight of both exhausted, so which one is heavier?
Hi Robson! Glad you like the content :D
I haven't weighted them myself, but according to Akrapovic, their exhaust is 2.6 kilograms lighter than the stock pipe, so quite the improvement!
@@IgorBrandao how about the stock?
I love the stock design but i do wish the bike had more of a rumble/sound to it. It can be hard to hear my bike at a red light in first
I hear you! The stock exhaust makes the swingarm fully visible and looks very nice, but then there is no sound… that’s why I couldn’t stand it and went ahead to get an aftermarket one
Parece que ja estar com escape esportivo
Great video and comparison. As with most similar videos, I think a lot of the tone is lost in the recording. It's hard to really compare without hearing it in person. As a 2021 MT-09 owner, I think the Akra is definitely an audible upgrade. However, I'm not sure it's enough of an upgrade to warrant the price considering it's probably the ugliest Akra exhaust I've ever seen. The stock exhaust actually sounds *really* good in my opinion, and while I'm definitely willing to pay the price to upgrade to an aftermarket exhaust, I'm happy enough with the stock to wait for a more aesthetically pleasing option (like the Yoshi) to become available.
I cannot agree more with your statement here! I am 100% getting the Yoshimura system for this bike, as it looks amazing compared to this and others. I even preordered it, but after 3 weeks waiting for news, they (Yoshi folks) got back to me stating that those AT2 pipes are only going to be produced February next year, so I got this Akra as a temporary option because even though the OEM exhaust sounds somewhat nice, it does so only at speeds below 60 mph. Above that, the wind noise muffles everything.
This Akra is hideous and does not match the character and aesthetic of this new bike at all! As soon as I get my hands on the Yoshi, I am selling this one to the highest bidder hahahaha
And also youre right about the sounds captured versus in-person. I did my best to get as close as possible with the hardware that I have (go pro hero 9 with media mod directional mics) and after hearing the result, I can say that it corresponds with about 70% of what it sounds in reality for both exhausts. The biggest difference to me are the quickshifts with the Akra, as the mic doesn't record the "pop" properly from the ignition cut. That doesnt happen with the OEM exhaust - or rather it happens, but gets totally silenced by the emissions system.
@@IgorBrandao Interesting, I spoke with Yoshi a couple of weeks ago and they told me I could expect their AT2 to ship around December this year, but yeah I wouldn't be surprised if that got delayed.
Regarding the audio quality, I think you did a great job compared to other videos out there. There's only so much you can do to capture the tone, but the what gets me is when the before/after is just a start up, 3 second idle and a rev bomb. Tells you nothing. All those ride-bys and decels you did painted a much clearer picture and definitely validated my feelings about the Akra vs stock exhaust sounds/looks. Thanks again!
@@nethermorph8375 right! I made the startup and rev bombs trying to bring as many scenarios I could think of, but I agree 100% that fly by and pass by are the ones that come the closest to capture what it really is like on real life. And about the Yoshimura AT2 system, they are all over the place with their dates… I still have my preorder going so hopefully it comes on December like they told you.
You’re very much welcome, glad the video was useful to you :)
I ordered a dominator exhaust the gp3 one and a power commander, I don't really like either the akra or yoshi, so i got this cheaper option for now it was like $430 shipped to the us. cant wait to see what others come out with
Nice video.
Thanks!
Thank You
You're welcome :)
Hey, why did you get rid of your street triple to get this? Can you state your opinion on the comparison and what you think between the two?
Hi Coba! I didn’t want to sell the Street Triple at the time I did… I bought it new and had it for only 1 year. I had to sell it because my work had me moving countries, and importing it was uneconomical to do. I simply love that bike and can’t say enough good things about it. Should the opportunity come, I will own another one for sure!
And as to why I got the MT09, it wasn’t to replace the STriple. It was just because I always wanted to try it out and its great for growing the channel, as it has much more popularity that the Triumph.
As to the quick opinion you requested, even though they have similar prices and specs, to me they are completely different purposes. MT09 is just like muscle V8s with plenty of power and torque to have you smiling at every pull. Its great for wheelies just as the muscles are good at burnouts, but is a bit lacking on premium finishes, touches and sophistication. Its the bang for the buck power option!
OTH the street triple is your European v8 sports car. Still pulls like a demon, but does so more progressively instead of aggressively. Has great materials and finish quality, but comes with an adjusted price tag for that!
Bottom line is: there is no better option, you should choose the bike that suits your personal preference and riding style!
O ronco dela original é muito da hr!
Pois eh, de perto e em baixas velocidades eh bem legal! Mas passou de 100km/h não ouve mais nada kkkkk
Video show mano aí sim valeuuu
Tmj meu parceiro!
@@IgorBrandao always
So just advice if you are gonna do a “regular pass by” to compare sound don’t down shift as you pass camera lol cuz you technically didn’t pass by and we could only hear from a distance
Hi Robert! Thanks for the advice my friend, I’ll use it to improve future videos.
Very nice
Thanks!
This sounds so damn good :D
I know right? 😍
Honestly when I will buy the bike this is the first thing I will do, fuck euro5 xD
this reminds sme that amazing sound from yamaha r6 2006 :) just best sounds ever. Nothing better.
AKRAPOVIC is perfect on her, wow
Indeed my friend, indeed!
I'm looking at an SP but it's a 2019 model. Do you know if there are any changes ?
I owned a gen 1 tracer and loved the engine, I hear this one is a monster comparatively !
With OEM ignition timings and fuel, it is practically the same, but the handling is much different (for the better) because the new bike has a very different chassis construction, which affects how the bike transfers weight and corners. So OEM it is already a good improvement from previous gen, and if you intend on flashing the ECU, then you're in for a treat! In about an hour, the video testing out the motorcycle with a flashed ECU will premiere so make sure to see that so you can make a decision after seeing the whole picture!
2021 and up is completely different bike than 2020 and older
Thanks next investment 👍🏍🍺
Way to go Mark!
Hi is this with catalyst convertor or not... Also I take it you still have 02 sensor installed with no 02 delete plug ..baffle in or out.. Thanks
Hi there! The exhaust as seen and heard on the video has no cat, no baffle and did keep O2 sensor connected. All the best!
Might sound better but I still think it looks neat not seeing a exhaust.
Bom dia! Mano me tirar uma duvida, neste video vc esta com aquele DB-killer que vem nele, eu comprei estalei minha tracer 9 mas som nao fica igual seu , porem e so usei com DB Killer, se puder tirar esta duvida ficou grato, abraços boaa curvas
Fala Rafael! Eu nunca usei com dbkiller, ele mata muito o som da moto, fica quase igual original. Tira ele e faz o teste que você vai ver o quanto fica melhor!
The 👍🏻stock 🔆all day 🔆
Glad that the video helped you make a decision!
Ciao! Stessa moto! Spettacolare!
Ma è omologato lo scarico? Con db killer e catalizzatore?
Grazie amico! Che bello che tu abbia la mia stessa moto. Per quanto riguarda lo scarico, ha dbkiller ma nel video ne è sprovvisto.
Akra sounds amazing in low-mid revs, but terrible in high revs. Reminds me of a fart can on those beater Civics. Will be keeping the stock exhaust, thanks for the comparison!
With high frequency sounds, the capture doesn’t do justice to what it sounds IRL, so the bad “farting” noise you perceived could be from microphone clipping and not from the exhaust. I recommend listening for it in reality to make a fully informed decision, cheers!
Thanks, that's good to know, I'll have to try to listen to it IRL. Apart from that, I'm also hesitant to get an exhaust as I ride fairly aggressively and believe it would attract cops much easier.
Igor, tudo de bom?
Já agora, ja experienciou outros escapes? Para si qual seria o melhor? Já ponderou outros? Obrigado
Nessa moto eu só usei akrapovic, mas em outras motos usei outras marcas e aprendi que qualquer marca consegue te entregar barulho e “beleza” pois isso são aspectos subjetivos de cada um, mas em termos de performance e qualidade de construção/materiais, são poucos que valem a pena! Na minha opinião são Akra, Yoshimura, Leo Vince e SC project
@@IgorBrandao Gostava de um que saisse mais por de baixo da mota. yoshi pareceme desproporcional :-), contudo nunca vi nenhum ao vivo.
Trocarias no futuro de escape ou estás super satisfeito?
Já agora o canal tem instagram?
@@BrunoSantos-ml9jf Se aparecer um escape dessas marcas boas que seja mais curto e não saia para a lateral da moto, eu trocarei sim! Não acho o visual desse akrapovic muito legal, mas é a melhor opção que encontrei até o momento… não existe um Instagram específico do canal, mas existe o meu pessoal que também posto bastante coisa sobre o canal! O link está na descrição do vídeo
@@IgorBrandao depois de 9 meses qual o feedback? Continua a gostar? Trocava por outro escape?
Estou a pensar meter na minha 09sp
@@joaobalesteiro7930 continuo achando excelente! Junto com o SCPROJECT, é uma das melhores opções pra essa moto.
You need to get that quickshift sorted or changed
Thanks for the advice, why is that?
Does the previous gen Akrapovič full exhaust fit on the 2021 MY MT-09 ?
Nope, it does not. The engine and chassis for the 2021 is completely different from the previous gen, and with that the mounting points for the exhaust changed as well
@@IgorBrandao Ahh I see, as I suspected. Thanks for the reply !
Can you give me the link for buy reverse mirror ?
You can just google for “motogadget m.flight” and it will pop up for you to buy!
Hey Igor, what lead you to purchase this Yamaha over the Triumph Street Triple or KTM 890 Duke?
That’s a great question! Basically the specs/features list versus price (e.g. cruise control, up/down quickshifter, electronic throttle, tft display, premium fully adjustable suspension, etc) plus how customizable it is due to the huge amount of aftermarket parts it has.
For a 10K MSRP bike, its the best bang for the buck hands down!
@@IgorBrandao Thank you for the reply! I think you made a good decision going with the SP over the base model. I've read some magazine reviews saying the upgraded suspension makes the handling sharper and more predictable. Cruise control is also a great bonus! The exhaust comparison was well planned. Thanks again Igor!
@@fynn8252 anytime! Glad to share the content with you all ;)
Is this by the old thunder mountain middle school?
Yes, that's exactly the place!
does it pop and cough when drivin? I liked that in previous gen
Yes, but only after you flash ECU. Exhaust only doesn’t do it!
4:13 a luz a lanterna pisca qdo ta a milhão ou é efeito da camera que capta as piscadas da luz?
A lanterna pisca sim, mas isso prq eu estava freiando um pouco mesmo pra garantir que ia conseguir parar a tempo. Esse lugar que achei pra gravar eh muito curto e a moto acelera muito, então eu fui mais precavido hehehehe
@@IgorBrandao A tá, pensei que as piscadas era algo padrão da moto em alta aceleração.
Is this the full system? Racing Carbon line?
Correct, Akrapovic full racing system (S-Y9R12-APC)
Ela teve melhorias em relação a anterior né (parte de motor)?
To esperando ela vir pro Brasil pea antiga abaixar kkkkk
Eles aumentaram a cilindrada e mudaram o motor e chassis todo, mas em termos de potencia, é a mesma moto!
@@IgorBrandao estou apaixonado nesse retrovisor de alumínio kkk Não achei facilmente aqui pro Brasil.
was there any trick to getting the exhaust baffle out? mine is really jammed in and i cannot get it out.
I got the racing exhaust my friend and the baffle on it is held by a single bolt. If you got the road exhaust, then the baffle is welded in the pipe… you may be able to break the weld by drilling into it, but be careful not to damage the exhaust too much!
@@IgorBrandao i have the race one as well, unscrewed the bolt and its still stuck in there. just brute force is needed i guess.
@@cool48987 oh I see. Mine wasn't so firm in... after I took the bolt off, it practically came off LOL
Mano to voltando aqui no seu canal pra perguntar se escape da 17-20 da na 21, tenho um Spark titanium que tava na minha 19 e vou pegar a 21 essa semana
Primeiramente, parabéns pela motoca! Agora pergunta: vc vai pegar modelo 2021 no Brasil? Se for, provavelmente ela não eh dessa nova geração ainda… se for com o motor CP3 de 820cc, vai servir belezinha. Agora se for no novo CP3 de 890cc, ai nao vai servir, prq todos os pontos de fixação mudaram de lugar!
@@IgorBrandao não brother, moro em Londres, aqui já chegou esse modelo também faz um tempo. Pra ser sincero gostava mais da frente da outra mas vi que essa mudou bastante o motor e corrigiram alguns problemas de superaquecimento. Sobre a versão do Brasil fiquei até impressionado esses dias quando descobri que até a 2022 lá é a mesma 2020 aqui na Europa. Pra nova por enquanto só achei Akrapovic que eu não gosto nada e o Mivv que parece aceitável pro som que eu gosto, mas nada perto do meu Spark. Tenho um Spark full titanium grid-o que tirei da minha 09 2019 pra vender ela, pra mim não tem nada igual, inclusive importei dos USA por 1500 USD, agora to com ele aqui e com cara de bunda sem saber o que fazer com essa belezinha hahahah Spark, SC Project e Austin Racing são meus favoritos.
@@Martyson ah sim, entendi! Também não gosto nada desse akrapovic… só coloquei porque queria barulho e ele é ok em termos de rodar com o mapa de combustível original da moto. Estou aguardando mesmo é o Yoshimura
Consegue me dizer o nome dos espelhos?
Claro! Se chamam m.Flight da marca Motogadget
What mirrors are those?
Motogadget m.flight
Is this without the db killer?
Yes John!
Shoooow
Tmj meu querido!!
I'm assuming all of this was done with no other mods to intake and without a tune?
Correct! No mods at all at the time of this video, only exhaust swap.
@@IgorBrandao cool I just wanted to know because I have an mt09 and want a realistic expectation.
I don't like how it covers up that beautiful brushed swingarm
Yeap, that’s the main issue with this exhaust system… its really a shame how they didn’t think about that when designing it
what height are u ? its good motorcycle for woman 1.58cm ?
I am 1.70cm but overall height isn't a good measure for how good it will be. Measure your inseam and compare it to the seat height number. If your inseam is the same or higher, then it will be good! If not, you will probably tiptoe
Is the mt09s exhaust 1 piece?
yes it is!
This is what you call an exhaust video
Hahaha many thanks Emre! Glad you found the video useful for your comparison standards
Is the DB killer in or out?
Its out!
Assim que foi divulgada a imagem dessa moto com esse kit otico achei a coisa mais cagada do mundo mas seus videos estão mostrando o contrario, claro que tem aquelas mudanças basica de acessorios mas parece esta muito show a motoca.
É o famoso efeito McDonald’s ao contrário! O normal é a foto ser bonita e a realidade feia, e no caso dessa moto é o contrário. Quando se ve ao vivo, vindo na avenida, ela tem uma aparência muito legal, parece moto do futuro!
did you need a remap with the akra exhaust ?
It does run okay without it, and even akra says you wont need a flash on the ecu to have it, but I wouldn’t recommend running it stock for a long time (2yrs +)

LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES...❤❤❤
AMEN!
Definetely waiting on more exhausts to come out for my 21 SP. I'm not 100% sure, but i think the Akra is heavier than the OEM exhaust as well because on Akra's website they don't even say the weight reduction from the switch, like they do with all their other exhausts. also the dynos they put out were super inflated/ confusing to make it seem like you get a larger torque/hp bump than what's there stock. Noise wise, it definitely sounds better/meaner but not $1000+ justifiable. But that's just like my opinion man. It's a little frustrating buying a new gen bike especially during covid where companies are struggling to get the raw materials to make aftermarket parts. Let alone Yamaha struggling to make/ship the new MT09 in a lotta places. And even when they do, they're gone within a day.
I definitely feel you mean… it sucks having to wait so long for exhaust options. Actually Akra site mentions that there is a 2.1 kilos gain from the switch and I can definitely feel the improvement on torque/power, especially in high revs! But even though its a nice functional option, it doesn’t look good… I am just waiting on Yoshi to make their system and swap to it for good, then I’ll sell this akra
hahaha nice we have the same jacket!!
One of the best cost benefit options out there currently, so good! How do you like it? I love this jacket
@@IgorBrandao its great i have the shoes to match it too
@@IgorBrandao now i need an MT-09
@@DjMysticalone agreed, now go and get it! 💪🏼
Does an MT09 have an EXUP?
What is an EXUP?
@@IgorBrandao A valve Yamaha uses inside of exhausts, not something you want to remove if the bike has it. From what I know the only purpose that would ends up being beneficial is the gain of high end performance but at a loss for low end, milage, and over engine function. Although I'm not a Yamaha mechanic so I would definitely find someone more credible on that.
@@delavorexindustries2698 gotcha. As far as I know, this bike doesn’t have a valve on the exhaust.
@@IgorBrandao I have an XSR, from what I know they removed the EXUP sometime around 16, I know the 22 doesn’t have it.
@@delavorexindustries2698 I see. I believe that these two bikes share the exact same engine, so probably the 09 doesn’t have that as well

akrapović good sound 👍
Yeap, at least that they got 100% right!
SC project better sound I think
Blocking that beautiful swing arm why akra why
So dumb right? That's why I am getting a Yoshi for this bike! I only got this Akra because Yoshimura said that they will be able to make their exhausts only next year and I couldn't wait for so long with the muffled OEM sound, but as soon as I get that installed, see ya for this hideous piece of metal!
This thing is so ugly that I've took some time to email them to ask if they are planning to do different designs soon (or even a copy/paste of last gen, which was gorgeous and dunno why they changed in the first place, anyway...) and they gave me a super generic response. Didn't mention if they are working on alternative looks nor why they've changed the design so much for the worse.
Nothin wrong with stock = less unwanted attention
Indeed there is nothing wrong with stock, but people get exhausts for several different reasons. Could you define unwanted attention?
Infelizmente o Akpvc da série 2021 é feio, gostava mais do short da versão anterior.. 😐
Tenho exatamente a mesma opinião Gonçalo, mas na falta de opção foi o que sobrou, infelizmente…
Meh. I thought it was The Road legal edition
Well, it is road legal on Arizona, US lol
Why do people fuck up their bikes with cheap mods?
Well, an akrapovic exhaust isn’t exactly cheap… in fact is one of the most premium and well engineered options out there, but you do you my friend!
@Igor Brandao
I wasn't talking about your bike. Im just saying a lot of people have no taste in mods, generally speaking.
@@texasblaze1016 your original comment was quite vague, so I thought you were talking about the video. Anyway, I think its a learning process. When I was new to motorcycles, I did my fair share of shit mods, but as you see them fail fast and realize the money you wasted, you understand that you can't buy something based on low cost and emotion alone.
Am i the only one who thinks the Akra exhaust looks and sounds terrible??
I agree that it looks like shit, but the sound is good! Unfortunately the mic doesn’t capture the full details that you can perceive in person
I never understood these low budget aftermarket toy love... Its either stock, or nothing. These will not make any better sound... and in this case, the stock is beautiful, its like when a person singing from heart and the akrapovic is just tryhard garbage...
Thanks for sharing your opinion with us friend! To me, the reason to have exhausts like these is to be able to hear the bike sound at highway speeds. Stock indeed sounds nice, but once you go over 45mph all you hear is wind!
This Akra isnt street Legal!!!!
On Arizona it is! :D
@@IgorBrandao ok nice haha
Akrapovic sounds great but looks like @ss
My thoughts exactly! Hopefully SCProject makes a prettier one so that I can swap
Not worth the extra cost! Stock sounds just fine!
Thanks for sharing your opinion my friend!
