    I have a used arata full system for sale if you're interested...

    It's one of the best system you can fit your bike...

    Well unfortunately unless you are a top team in BSB you can't get one from Akrapovic.
    The Akra importer for the UK told me if they did sell one to you it would cost over £2500
    Luckily there is a man who buys all the used kit from the HM Plant bikes who is happy
    to sell you one . When I asked he had 3 in stock . And I bought the one that was in the best condition . It came with new springs , new can , new fitting kit , new carbon hanger . Only the headers were used and they had only done 2 meetings .

    Claire how hard was it to fit the silicone hose kit, I was offered a free set for my gix but declined as it was a pain in the arse to get into some of the parts to change them.

    I never thought about the blade but the red in yours makes them stand out and looks quite accessible was that the case?

    Yup it was a doddle . The biggest pain is draining down the system before you start . But I combined it with fitting my Akra so 2 birds 1 stone

    One or two of the honda pipes were well and truely stuck in place but if ya wiggle a screw driver in there its sorted .

    There is still one more to fit .. a long thin one that comes from the radiator that needs the air box removing for decent access .

    Well when I do the fast action throttle the air box is coming off so thats another 2 birds ehh ?

    Best looking by far is the taylor-made. Akra's Arrows sound awesome but they just don't look as good.
    As for the lack of power can you really tell riding on the road???
    I only ride on the track and it's difficult to tell any difference in power, riding ability probably dictates how fast the bike goes.
    This is one l had fitted to my Repsol, just bought another to go on my RR-C
    It's all about personnal preferences...these are just mine : )

    We have had a few members on here buy TM and sell them not long after to buy better quality exhausts

    every member that has had 1 said they are a really bad fit , all of them cracked the top mounting point on the carbon panel due to vibration and everybody said the actual exhaust is pretty poorly made

    How long have you had yours ?

    The only member i think still has 1 is Simon but i don't think he ever rides his bike lol

    My fitted fine, the repsol is now my mates trackbike and he still has the TM fitted.
    I have a Arrow fitted to one of my bikes and a Beowulf fitted to another.
    As l said just bought another TM for the RRC
    As l said it's all about personnal choice.
