Yes. Yes it is. I'm almost depressed at having a shiny new thing that is a blank slate begging for bling :lol: It's quite stressful having to decide what slip-on to get, or worse, what order to buy stuff in... should it be the double-bubble, then the fender eliminator? Should the rear hugger come before the seat cowl? Should I add after-market stuff in order from the front of the bike to the back, or start with the cheapest first? :lol: I tell you, it's tough pampering my new bike!

Neka: My last bike came with a Staintune. It wasn't bad, but it was just missing something, IMO, so I'm not really considering one, especially when an Akra is practically the same price.

My first choice is the Two Brothers in titanium. Second choice is the Akra.
Now I've just gotta decide whether I like it by enough to justify the price difference between the two, or if the appeal isn't as much as the savings.

Thanks for all the opinions 8)

Evilsim : Where did you get that number plate mount? It's pretty much what I'm after, I'd assume eBay?

I like both, Akra looks tidy and clean, which i like and 2 bro's looks tough, which i also like.
so i dunno and i can't see the laser one! so i would have to choose off which sounded best and gave the best performance!

in that case 3 pipes looks just too over the top! 2 is more than enough!

hmmm none of em ;) Spend it on race glass and track days instead :D

The only zorst I would bother with is the akra...full system + PCII + BMC filter..... I like the look of it the best and llike the dyno sheets also ;) Although I figure, I will prob update my bike next yr, and would prefer to spend $$$ on track days and perhaps some race glass instead... but the great thing is we can all do just what we want :)

So hope you enjoy the one you end up settling on!

Akra for sure

imo you have to have an aftermarket pipe, stock items sound so shit and dont let the I4 sing its wonderful tune!

I will be ordering a new exhaust before the end of the week.

There will be a photo posted as soon as it's fitted, accompanied by much oo-ing and aah-ing :)

Thanks for everyone's opinions. A few of the posts really helped clarify in my mind what I wanted.
