Akrapovic vs RLS vs Stock Exhaust

[Martin Slovakia]

EDIT:
SHORT VIDEO IS HERE AS WELL

Hi guys,
here is full video about comparison between the exhausts.
Later in the week I will publish shorter version with sound comparison only and will add it here as well.

Enjoy and remember, Always have fun

I love your enthusiasm that you put into all your videos and you are entitled to your opinion but I hate all 3 of your systems.The RLS is by far the loudest and most irritating to me.The other 2 are only loud and annoying bc you have that cat delete pipe on there.Im sorry but theres something about that 1330 engine that just wont allow for a low pitch type noise which I think would be much better.I just cant see driving anywhere other than bar to bar without that noise driving me nuts.Sorry pal but thats just my opinion.I do agree the Akrapovic is the best looking.The RLS just looks like a bent pipe with a hangar and wide tip.

I wonder how the Two Brothers would have fared? True, it also has a straight delete pipe, but multitudes of 48mm baffles fit in the delete pipe inlet. Also, in addition, you can add a P1X suppressor tip. As far as true performance goes, without a dynamometer test on same dyno/bike/day, actual performance specs will never be known. Butt dynos are highly inaccurate
As far as sound goes, the Punisher is WAAAAY too raspy and higher pitched.
According to Ricky, RLS exhaust ranked from LOUDEST > quietest are:
1.Punisher
2.Assassin
3.Twin Kaos
4.Crusher

I don't believe Martin was asking for opinions ! And like him I don't give a rats ass if anyone likes after market pipes or not. I am running a two brothers exhaust and a cat delete and I like the way it looks and sounds and yep its loud. I could care a less if anyone doesn't like it. Give the guy some credit for helping people that are looking for a different sound and keep your opinions and your whining to yourself. Good job Martin !

I have no idea who your comment is directed to, but when a comparison is posted, are you not expecting opinions?

Martin,
Like you I like the looks of the Akrapovic. Love the sound of the RLS. Me myself, I JUST replace my exhaust with the Two Brothers, and I am EXCITED all over again when riding my Spyder! Wish I had not waited so long to do this, but I was reading reviews about the TB, and was listening to others who had bought and then sold. Shoulda just did my own experimenting like you. Thanks for all you do! hyea: :b2b:

To all who might care ..... the only thing you will achieve with any of these or any other muffler or " CAT " delete you might find ..... consider the fact that your changing something ( for whatever reason ) that will ONLY change the Sound and Appearance of the muffler ..... Why is this .... because the Rotax engine ( like all modern engines with Computer management systems ) can't be altered or improved because the STOCK computer program will Adjust for what you did and re-vert back to the original settings. .... This doesn't apply IF the ECU program has been re-written or changed ..... Mike :thumbup:

Opinions are always welcome/ expected however every time someone posts on SL or on Facebook about adding a muffler or removing the cat. Someone always chimes in and says increase noise, I don't like it, does nothing , blah blah blah. The haters should just move along and let them post about what they are doing and different ideas that people have. Not everyone has the same taste, It would be like me getting on here and bashing people that ride RT's. Just because I do not like them doesn't mean that others can't enjoy them. Just gets old after a while. Ok I am done

"Opinions are always welcome/ expected ..."

From the rest of the post, it would appear that you don't really feel that way. And the only opinions that are welcome are opinions that
agree with your opinion. Threads would be very short if the only people who posted were the people that agree 100% with the OP.

Exactly...you can have RLS ...two bros etc...but none of them are worth anything without an ECU tune...in which martin does have as well as me....the tune also affects the overall sound..all in alI must say ..the RLS cat delete with no baffle sounds darn good...

 

[Martin Slovakia]

Hey buddy, why apologising??? Its your opinion, you dont curse at me, you dont use F words on me,, you just said what you like and what you dont. And that is all fine.
And I have big respect for that!!!! its better then to say.. oo yeah martin its the nicest exhaust i have ever seen and then you still think its rubbish.
I personally like it, and that is always what matters,. plus if the flames will work.. It will be sick and fun, and that is what matters to me
plus in Europe and specially in Eastern europe I want to be loud... It has already save my life several times.

According to Ricky ranking I am super happy I have went for PUNISHER ))
as for the Two Brothers, I was not lucky enough to get around them. Even when I sell RLS, I would be more than happy to make a video for them. I think its fair and I would love to test it.. who knows, maybe one they tey will be interested in

Brother, thank you but chill, please
Its all fine, all the comments are fine, trust me. Its normal people like to say their opinion and many times it may sound that they try to advise or persuade you, but I know manytimes they are just saying how they feel.
RLS and neither 2brothers is not for everyone.. same as LED lights and Sounds speakers. People will love it or hate it.. its all fine.
And yea, thanx again for nice words brother.
Hope one day I will put my hands on two brothers
