    Default Akrapovic carbon fiber

    want to put an Akrapovic on my 2019 f3 limited black . any one have found or constructed a carbon fiber heat shield , or any ideas on how to keep the black look .

    is there a carbon fiber wrap that can stand the heat ? any input would be great. or do they make an Akrapovic in Carbon fiber for the ltd . I know the have one for
    the f3 3 , could just paint it HI heat black , thoughts.

    Thanks

    Doubtful you will find a wrap capable of repeated high temps.

    If you replicate the oem item in carbon, choose wisely on the resin system, most will show yellowing at temps above 180f.

    Thanks for the info . think I might try to reuse the stock heat shield. or just leave the Akrapovic as is .

    I think it looks good with the Akrapovic as is.

    I have a RLS Exaust. Ricky sprays a coating that drops the temp by 400 degrees. He can even spray the Cat delete. Not as pricy as a akrapovic either. Also the best sounding Exaust out there IMHO.

    I like it. I found it online at a Can Am dealer that had a few that he was selling at 1/2 price. It was new in the box, yet it came without the baffles. I also have the RLS cat delete, and together I think it sounds pretty good. Louder than stock, but no annoying drone when cruising at highway speeds. I ran it without the cat delete for a few thousand miles, and honestly, adding the RLS cat delete without it's baffle, did not increased the volume all that much.
