MAB Power vs. Akra 2-1

Post by Killerwhale » Fri Oct 30, 2009 6:48 pm

Well, tried the akra out a couple of days ago and in comparison to the MAB it was a pig down low but at 6k rpm there where a real strong kick and away it went. So now i´m thinking of keeping the MAB for steret use....hmmm..... 8-[

Mate if you don't want to keep the Akra I would to buy it off you. I've been trying to find an Akra 2-1 system for months now. Please drop me a PM if you want to sell (or if anyone else has one to sell please let me know)

Got shiftlight and quickshift and immobilizer....so it´s worth it anyway...

UPS came with it today and it´s already programmed and tested on a bike with same specs so it should be a quick fit :-)

I have to say that's my epxerience as well with Akra end cans and why I run with the Devil can.

2 - 1 systems are notoriously difficult to setup on TDM/TRX engines. Usually a big hole in the middle. I tried a Devil 2 - 1 on my 850 TDM but despite trying to sort out the jetting, I reverted back to a Laser 2 - 2

Yep - I've got Akra headers with a big bore devil can (and hundreds of pounds spent getting it right on the dyno!!)

Could it be that one cyl is leaner than the other and when you go 2-1 it´s hard to see what jetting is optimal....just a thought....
