    Well, I know everyone says the TM exhaust is poor quality but im very shallow and looks mean more than personality to me so I ordered the TM exhaust today. Ive not even got the bike yet And ive already bought an exhaust and a new set of fairings!!
    I got a great deal on a brand new unfitted exhaust only paid £450 delivered so im well pleased. It should be here at the weekend but the bike isnt coming till next week so wont have any fitting pictures till next weekend. Anyone got any fitting tips/advice for the TM zorst?

    Take your time as they are fiddly to get the alignment right. In the end, I removed a stopper ring on the headersto give me 5mm for better alighment as it fouled the CF cover. I know its for looks and there are plenty of haters but I love the TM but just wished they did a TI version to make it even lighter. All that said. I managed to get 174 bhp with the TM, Air filter and non standard ducts at HM Racing.

    Wow!! 174bhp. I'd be well chuffed with that for so little outlay.
    What are the ducts? What do they do and how much are they?

    I bought a set of HRP air ducts that replace stock air ducts in the stock fairings

    Thats a cracking deal! I almost bought a used one recently for slightly less than that, but bottled it and opted for pro fiber carbon frame protectors instead. I must admit though, I think its the best looking zorst out there, shame the build quality gets such bad/mixed reviews.

    Its all down to personal preference but I like it and suits the bike, If it wasn't this exhaust it would be the factory BSB Akra or the TT Legends Akra.

    Couldn't agree more Simon, purely from an aesthetics point of view, most definitely the best looking exhaust. As far as I am concerned, ALL the others just look like an afterthought bolted on!
