been thinking about getting a full exhaust system, Akravopic list a full 'Race Line' system on their website for a 2003 model, will this do for my curvy, or is it just for a pointy?
Cheers |

Though by all accounts, it's not all that good

Vastly expensive bit of kit for what it delivers.New ones cost half the value of the bike so you need to really want it------?

They just don't flow the best, is all. Neither does my WRP for that matter, but it weighs less and cost me £80 so, can't complain
![]() Biker Biggles is 100% correct of course, buying new makes fairly little sense, you don't get massive gains from any exhaust- and remember to budget for setup too. A slipon on the SV makes massively more sense. However, some of us are idiots ![]() But, for a few bhp, it's very expensive. You could get a slipon and do the cam swap, get about the same power and spend a few hundred quid less. Or, you could get a slipon and spend the rest on online poker.

It weighs less than the akra? I totally agree, buying new makes absolutely no sense at all but then again if someone didin't buy it new then we'd not have any second hand bargains to snap up would we ![]()
