Akrapovic Hex Exhaust - which one?

Post by redkiwi » Thu Dec 09, 2010 11:11 am

The end can on my Over Racing 2-1 full system has blown the packing out for the 4th time and once again the rivets are coming loose too. I'm sick of fixing it, it's always been done properly with new packing and blind stainless steel rivets yet it continues to rattle the rivets out as well as gradually getting louder and louder as it blows the packing out the back end!

I've decided to bite the bullet and get the end can I've been wanting for a long time - an Akrapovic Hexagonal Carbon can. Which slip-on should I go with, I was thinking of going with the GSXR1000K5+ slip on but will the flow through the pipe be a bit high? I know a couple of people have this can - what did you go with?

Over 2 into 1, are you sure it`s not an Akrapovic system, I`ve not heard of an Over 2 into 1 personally?

Its completely different to anything that Akrapovic make, the current end canister has a tapered joining pipe. I was told when I bought it that it was an OVER system, same with the rearsets and CDI.

Ended up going for a Yoshimura R77 from a 09+ ZX6R. $450USD including express delivery. Hopefully it arrives on time and I can get it fitted up properly.
More or less the same shape but a few hundred dollars cheaper.

I used an Akra Carbon Hex can designed for an R6 with my Akra headers/link pipe and it worked a treat
