    I have a full akraprovic exhaust on my RR5..

    I want to know if I can change the back box? The current one is carbon fibre, and has for road use on it..

    I wanted a different back box..will this be okay to buy and attach to the existing pipe work?

    Also what options do I have?

    So much choice! I went through the same dilemma on my RR5. Was tempted by a Jardine RT1 Jardine Rt-1 Carbon Fiber Dual Outlet Slip-on Exhaust | MotoSport but ended up going to see Quill and having a GP1 fitted. It is loud and I mean LOUD, but really well made and was fitted whilst I waited. I think it cost me £295 with a new link pipe.
    I would check to see what diameter pipework you have once you have removed the slip on and also what length is left, as this will determine what slip on you can go for.

    wow that does look nice! though i think its little too standard looking...

    You got a pic of what you bought in the end?

    Do the pipes come in standard sizes?

    Also will it de-value the bike at selling time? as at present i can say its got a full akraprovic titanium exhaust on it..

    The Jardine does look great, but I turned it down for the same reason,it does look a bit standard. I have tried to upload pictures of my can, but the computer is not having it, but if you have a look on my profile at the media section and have a look at the Rob Rides Out video, there are a few shots of it there.
    In terms of pipe sizing, I don't honestly know what size pipe I have, but I can measure it in the morning for you.
    Value wise, yes, a full Akra titanium system is a bonus, but I don't think it will make a huge difference. I could be wrong on this one, so if anybody else can give a pointer here.
