I was considering the Akra as well. I care about about looks more though and like the yosh cover panel and I don't have the skill to do this on my own! lol

to be honest you can't notice the gap from any normal angle. it's only in photos that are taken from the side and low that there is an apparent space.

Thanks guys,i feel a project coming on.

For those of you looking or rather worried about passing mot inspections, blue flame makes a killer slip on that is street legal. Comes in full carbon, and costs alittle less than 400 american. It is street legal in Europe so you shouldnt have to remove for inspection. Very nice sound look it up on you tube just search blueflame cbr. You can only buy direct you can google their site. You will still have the s bend though.

If you are looking for a cheap full system talk to brad, he was quoting rediculous prices for the arrow i was looking to get. Thinking of going with that or getting the FMF slip on with HRC headers like the corona honda's are running in AMA.

I keep looking too, the only one I really like is the Taylormade one. I like the stealth look, goes with my black bike.

Have a great time and I hope the weather is ok, I am working nights so doubt I will be out unless the weather is really good and a quiet night at work. I will look out for you when I am out and about, just waiting for the weather to pick a little.

Yeah I like the Taylor made zorst aswell but I do track days and can't make out if there's a Db killer that would work with that particular zorst ?

TroyBoy30 · 02-14-2009, 1:39 PM

the taylormade is all looks. $900 for no power gain and questionable quality.

And 3, 4 or 5 more horsepower is going to make all the difference on the street!!!!!!!! I guess 178 horse power is not enough! Think about it! As far as the quality goes its excellent, anyone who buys one will not be disappointed!

Oh I'm sorry I didn't notice you had a US model which are detuned. Yes I agree you better find an exhaust that will give you more horse power, maybe it will be equivelant to the Canadian models.

splatty · 02-14-2009, 4:26 PM

I know a guy who had one, and it made his bike too loud for track days.

He said the quality was poor too.

He sold it and bought a Yoshi.

Boy are you ever lucky! A zbomb! WOW! Does that put it close to the Canadian models now? It has to be pretty close.

You are relying on my somewhat dodgy memory now mate.

I'm sure it was well over 100 with the Taylormade, but about 98db with the Yoshi with the baffle in for noise restricted track days.

it gives it back the top end so it matches the euro model.

pretty sure the taylormade was around 102 db

splatty · 02-14-2009, 7:29 PM

Just had a quick check back, Rich22 had one and it was tested at 106.5db at the track day he went on

If I was going to buy one, I would have the Ti Yoshi slip-on with the extra cover panel. They are on flebay for about £379 which is a pretty good price I think.

Has anyone seen or heard the new Vance and Hines pipe for the '08 Fireblade?

Taylormade is 103db and will improve your lower and mid range power.
