Default Anyone recognize this Akrapovic?

I took this photo at the Isle of Man TT this year. Have any of you seen this here in the US?

Clearly not a Hotbodies MGP. The MGP is a slip on only. And it's easy to see the can is completely different.

And as far as I know and according to Racefit they do not make any exhaust for the S1000RR.

Looks like an Austin Racing system (or at least an Austin Racing exhaust canister) with the GP Stubby can.

I can't attach a pic right now for some reason but pics of the GP Stubby exhaust canister can be seen here about 2/3rds of the way down.

The "GP Ultimate" can from AR is what you have pictured and has the carbon bands. It's a completely different can from the "GP Stubby".

The GP stubby was around before the GP ultimate.
