is it worth it?
 
i've been offered a mint full akrapovic for 150 quid, question is, after rejetting, telling insurance ect is it really worth it all over standard performance wise? :confused:

You'll get a few more BHP if you rejet to suit, you might notice the motor spins up a little better to.

I suspect you'll notice it, but at that price I'd be inclined to go for it.

The Akra system isn't really a performance system.

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.

No its not worth it in money terms,but if you want the style and kudos then its cheap.
Its like designer clothes.You dont wear them because they are value for money.
