I'm considering putting one of these Akrapovič Exhausts (SKU 219401034 ) onto my 2021 S2S. Little leery because of the cost. Anybody using one of these? Any comments?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Found a good deal on the Akrapovic - $400 off. I'll let you know what I find.

They are expensive and from what has been said ... they fall apart much sooner than OEM stock mufflers .... What you get for paying more $$$ is a louder exhaust. .... Nothing else ..... enjoy .... Mike :thumbup:

I’ve been building and modifying cars and bikes for more years than I care to remember. I’ve always followed one simple rule… if it doesn’t give substantial gains I put the money in the fuel tank. That’s where the fun is. I’d be comparing HP gains between brands.

I did a full titanium Remus exhaust on my BMW R1200GS Adventure. It required new engine management software to prevent the bike from running too lean. It required a new air cleaner to match the better exhaust flow. It was a ton of work (and money) for no noticeable HP gains. The bike sounded great (when I was alone) but was harder to converse 2-up. I wouldn't do it again. In NYS, our Governor just passed a law (eff 4/1) making aftermarket exhausts illegal: A new measure just signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul makes it illegal to modify an exhaust on a car or motorcycle to make it louder than the original exhaust. https://www.revzilla.com/common-tre...w,to make it louder than the original exhaust.

I had the same experience adding an Akrapovič to my R1200GS. Looks cool, sounds a little better but no difference in performance.

If it sounds better, is a personal thing, it's absolutely louder, acropovic, makes it sounding abit raspier, while a stock exhaust, with a cat delete, makes a deeper sound, and with a good cat- delete, you gain a bit of weightloss, about 15 kilo's worth, loose a lot of heat coming from the stock exhaust, so imho that's the way to go

I probably should have started off by saying I'm not looking for a HP gain. I have had MANY high powered street and crotch rockets in my life and would consider it a waste of money to modify the Spyder for power. However, like this poster, I wanted something with a little tone to it and not a "golf cart". I have ridden bikes with lowd exhausts for long, multi day trips and swore I wouldn't do that again. Additionally, I didn't want to adjust the MAP. Akraprovic claims to meet both those requirements. I was also interested in Smoaks video on the subjectt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5bQ8Lq9lMw I have received the muffler now I have to put it on!
