Akrapovics start at ~£700 used, new they're ridiculous money, think £2000

Still, stock it sounds pretty raucous, and when I do trackdays even with the baffle in the JCE and Akrapovic can easily fail noise testing... :D


£700 is probably my limit, but £2k is mental, I presume that's full system?

It is, but there's no other option from Akrapovic

If you want the twin pipe system instead of the underslung, due to noise and power needs combined, *just* the titanium headers at ~£1700 new, then you need to buy each left and right silencer for about a grand

Altogether that's well over half what I'm paying for the bike itself :rolleyes:

Hence, the JCE looks like a good option, and sounds epic...

Very curious to hear your opinion after you've played with it for a few months. Especially keen to hear how you find it, after owning a 675 :-dd

Oh god what has he done!!!

M65 be very afraid, you don't cross "The Toni" ;) :D

Anyway, I went to see it, it's absolutely spotless, basically looks like a new one from the showroom, more pictures to follow, but here's a quickie we got on the phone before the rain arrived...
