I received my Akrapovic Carbon HEX Slip-on for 06 1000. I thought it was going to have a removeable noise reduction insert.
Akra's web page show's it; and so does any other aftermarket page selling one. The pic's all show one little screw holds it in. The one I received has no screw hole or insert. I ordered it from hardracing.com. There closed this weekend.
Any one with answers? Should I not wait and just install it? I kind of wanted an option of noise level. You think it will be to loud? I just don't like really loud bikes.
They are available in different versions road legal with a removable baffle insert and a race version which is a straight through baffle.Also they come in full length 98db and short "stubby" 103db versions as well. It sounds like you may have the race version . How loud is it going to be ? well that depends on your version of loud ,but as a rule their race cans are not that exsesive on the noise front .
The Akrapovic web page does not mention any options. Part #424-20310 is the part number all the aftermarket websites use. All the pic's everywhere concur. Are you sure about this for the 04-07 CBR1000RR?
Yep in the Demon Tweeks book its available in both forms full length or short race or road legal .It does not list Akra part numbers unfortunatly but it does say from 06 on. Just checked it again to be sure.
Just checked Demon Tweeks web site and there's loads of exhausts not listed that appear in their book and the same goes for the Akrapovic site as well,but it does say for the full listings to contact them via e-mail .
FYI on Arkapovic HEX slip-on for 06-07 CBR1000RR. The dealer said that the model with the removable noise reduction insert is not avalible in the US. I installed it and was a snap, took about 3 hours taking my time.
Sounds great! Snow on the ground can't ride it yet.
just giving my :twocents: but i have a full acro evo system with no silencer, and it sounds awsome, i only set off old car alarms (rarely) its really not that loud, only at slow speed like 10-15mph, besides that i would never want to shush my bike, that mean roar is what makes it so beautiful, soothing, and intimidating.
Got a chance to take it for a quick spin after the snow melted. Loud! But in a good way. Hope I don't draw to much attention. Don't want law enforcement after me.:smilebig:
