1. Lighter weight, more power, louder bike.
2. Try searching here, if you can't find anything, YouTube will have them for sure.
3. That depends on your budget and need for a lighter/quicker bike and have $2,800 extra bucks laying around. They're less expensive options as well.

I'm very happy with the stock pipe, I think it's one of the best looking canisters around. I don't want the noise and would rather spend that money on suspension.

$2800? I don't think it was that much. Or are you factoring in tax, labor, power commander...?

If you do not race and you do not need the absolute in weight then go for the Racing line(stainless headers,same power).The difference in weight is app. 1.4kgr which is not worth it for the extra 1k$.

For $2800 just save your money for the next new model.

brocks makes a full Ti system for 1800 bucks. it only weighs 5.5 lbs, including the can. even if you tack on labor and a power commander and a tune, you're still well below 2500 bucks, and you'll make more power than the akro.

yeah but the brocks looks horrible compared to akro. thats worth the extra $$ alone.

plus the titanium blues and has all those nice colors...mhmm

just my 2 cents: spend the money on suspension, all the power in the world means $hit if you cant stick it to the ground + power mods for the average rider is a waist of time and money

I always believe that these exhaust system are over price, if you think about it is about 20% of the price of the bike, it just doesn't make any sense that something that's not that crucial to the bike cost so much (having the factory one installed). It's just a waste of $$$, I'm getting the slip on just for the sound.
