Re: exhaust question
I'm pretty sure the engine is basically the same shape, but I'm not sure about the routing of the rear pipe through the swingarm/frame and where it picks up on the mounting points. I'm sure if you hold out someone will be along who had tried it....

Re: Curvy exhaust system fit Pointy?
The oil cooler will be in the way on a pointy.
Curvy pipes run closer to the motor

Re: Curvy exhaust system fit Pointy?
I'm alright then, I've got M4 pipes with a Leo can..... Build quality on both is just brilliant, you really do get what you pay for.

Re: Curvy exhaust system fit Pointy?
Dont slate the Akro, mine has one and its 1bhp behind my mates with an M4 on same dyno with same mods but my bike is lighter by 2Kg.
Here is some proof of a power curve with an akro pipe http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.p...=hardhat_harry Last edited by hardhat_harry; 15-02-12 at 05:58 PM. |
