Default Akrapovic or Taylormade??

When I frist purchased my S1000RR I wanted to change the exhaust and really like the looks of the Taylormade system.. I like that it comes with the belly pan and its overall looks. I have been told that no power commander or such is need with this exhaust. Dealer and Taylormade both told me this. I asked on here and was told to try it without and you will know if you need one.

In reading other posts and searches, I am also considering the Akrapovic EVO Shorty Ti full system w/powercommander and a Sharkskinz belly pan..

Further which system, Bazzaz or PowerCommander??

Looking for input from those who know.. I have searched and read previous posts here. I know that there are always improvements and new findings..
Curious to hear opinions..
Also, does anyone know of a great tuner in or around Pittsburgh PA..or one that is within a decent driving distance from Pittsburgh?

Tanks in advance..

My friend has a taylormade on his bike. Sound alright. Looks horrible in my opinion and usually im a fan of taylormade had one on my old gsxr.

May i note his bike has been shooting out a crazy amount of error codes and is in and out of the shop for problems since he put on the exhaust.

That has nothing to do with a pipe, rather the installation!
