The weight saving and quality might be worth having and the carbon fibre exhaust hanger is gorgeous. The ability to be able to take it all off easily and polish it up is handy, but the original akra can is a bit long.

M4 system is better but looks pants IMO.

What was yours making at peak?

Yeap it is worth it, as Pete said the Akrapovic isn't much of a performance exhaust but a few bhp is better than nothing. You will need to rejet to suit, I would also recommend a BMC filter to. You have to tell your insurance company, trust me they will try anything to wriggle out of paying for anything, and if it is the road legal can version you can state it is legal and not a performance product.

Mines the road legal system and made no difference to the insurance. As said earlier the standard akra can is way too long, about 600mm iirc i cut mine down to 450mm and it looks and sounds much better whilst still having the E mark on it :mrgreen:

Be sure you get all the springs and the manifold attachments.

I also have a BMC filter you might be interested in Gavin.
