    Looking for a full system for my '08.

    I currently have a Leo Vince can, I could simply add the headers to match. But something tells me just to sell it and buy a full system.

    So what options have I got? Akra, newer Leo Vince (Evo II), Arrow? Even the full Ti exhaust by Nojima (not sure these have ever made it to the UK from JP) anything else?

    (i did search for 'system' on the forum, but nothing much came up!)

    Thought welcome.

    Cheers

    Id defo consider the likes if the akrapovic or arrow systems as they have had loads of testing on the blade. The Leo vince would be much the same. Nutty has the akrapovic full sytem on hers and swears by it.

    Why do you want a full system? If its looks then fair enough but for performance I've been told that the standard headers are extremely good already so you won't get a big improvement like on some bikes,

    I have a full arrows system on my 04, well happy with it. I'd say you need to plan on getting it custom mapped if you going to the expense of a full system......You could speak to someone like FW Developments, they'll tell you all you need to know and advise on costs....

    Leovince & arrow makes great system as long as you go and buy their top of the range race systems. Top value is the akrapovic racing line. Lightweight for stainless system, with good performance and you don't have to break the moneybox from all your family to buy it. Their Evolution systems (full titanium) are the only systems that can be put next to Japanese systems.
    Nojima as every Japanese exhaust system is great in every aspect. Quality-fitting-ligthweight-top performance. Arata used to make great system too - not sure if there are any more left as Arata stopped making exhausts for bikes (tha't what my last update on them sais but you never know), moriwaki makes probably the best (I would give a call Untitled Document if they have such a system for sale!)
    Only problem is that a few of those racing systems produce more than 99dB which might be a problem on a few tracks - You must check this. Spares is a problem also is some cases...

    For the best power figures, the Akrapovic full TI BSB system is the way to go, developed intensely at the akra workshop using an HM Plant blade (both superstock and superbike) to develop them.

    Do you have some kind of pictures of further info? My only issue would be that if it's been designed for a full spec superbike BSB it wont be the best for a stock or nearly stock bike. of course you can always put it on your salon... :D

    it's something I've been thinking about for ages, just every time I look at the price of something decent my jaw hits the ground. Anyone have any experiance with Taylormade? think they looks the dog's on the bike

    There's no smoke without fire, so thanks for the advice I'll cross that off my list

    Yup ... I can really recommend the full BSB system in titanium . It weighs about as much as a crisp packet .. looks the dogs .. its so pretty in blue .. sounds gorgeous .
    My bike has straight through air intakes and a race filter . Quicker in / quicker out :)

    And although its not been on the dyno yet ( soon I hope ) I feel it picks up the revs quicker . In fact on a recent track day several people came over to say how great
    it sounds and also how it pulls away coming out of corners .

    Nutty/Craig - Do you have the model number for this akra system? Also, any pics?

    No issues with DB noise levels out here in Asia. Biggest issue is it's illegal to run a non-approved exhaust (only a few are allowed) and full systems are banned. But hell to that! No problems with mapping as I've got the Bazzaz system (and autotune)

    Nojima is quality, having seen one in the flesh, its good and a decent price too. Different with the longer can however. Here's a pic for those who've never seen one:

    Arata, I've seen a slip on (loud) but no full system.

    HRC system - fook that, how much!?! :eek:
