    What do you do with the o2 sensor. And how easy is it to fit .

    The O2 sensor is pre cat on the 2014 blade so no need for removal if your just fitting the Akrapovic GP Slip on just remove your original end can and disconnect your servo cable making sure you mark the position before returning it to its rest place... Fit the new can job done! Oh and you might want to invest in some earplugs:D

    Agree......and remember to set the orig servo cable back to its orig settings.

    ........And agree about the ear plugs.

    Same here for the ear plugs!! bought mine with the db killer, must admit it sounds really good with it fitted for cafe rides. But if you fancy a blast whip it out and it sounds bonkers

    Totally agree! Mind you it does sound a bit rough (stuttery) between 3,000 and 4,000 RPM - and that seems to be the rev range im in when I'm pootling round town.

    But when you open it up with baffle out ....... WOW :eek:

    I've been looking into this bill and as far as I can tell there are two panels on the market.

    1) race fit - £100 sturdy, good brackets, might need to use a dremmel to make room for can

    2) Austin racing - £50 cheaper but more flimsy

    I'm undecided which one I'm going for but will probably go for the £100 race fit option

    Baffle is an option on akrapovic website for about £40 quid

    Looks and sounds the biz , agree around 3000-4000 rpm it's not perfect fuelling
