2014 RT Exhaust

[Route1motorsports]

I know they are just started to get out to customers, but I am wondering if anyone has put the Akropovic exhaust on their 2014 RT yet? We have a customer wanting to trade in his 2011 and get the 2014. He doesn't like the exhaust sound. Myself, I think the triple sounds great. He wants something louder and deeper. We are trying to find out if this will satisfy his aste. We went to order one just to try it and they are backordered until the end of February.

Thanks guys and gals,

Ben

Might be tough to do, that V1000 has a sound all it's own. Triples take some getting use to totally different sound.

Yes the triple does have it's own sound. I love the sound of a triple. My customer just wants more sound. He has been saying that on his 2011 RT for awhile as well. He didn't feel the Akropovic gave enough of a change in pitch in the 998. I was just wondering if it had any different effect on the new triple.

I know Dayton very well. I was born in Cincy then moved back to where my parents were from, Wapakoneta.

Aftermarket Will Catch Up

Give it some time and the aftermarket exhaust companies will have some choices for those who want to hear their engines. I personally don't like mine to be too loud such as drowning out the stereo or causing ringing ears, even headaches. Been there-done that with some past motorcycles. My current ride, a 2012 Victory Cross Country (haven't owned a Spyder yet) has the D&D slip-ons and I'm hoping they will get something similar for the 2014 RT as I really like the quality and the deep but not loud sound. Before this year is over there will no doubt be a few choices in exhausts. P.S. we pass through Wapakoneta on I-75 to and from Troy Ohio where our daughter & son-in-law & grandson lives.

My Aunt and Uncle live in Troy. I hope you are right about the exhaust. The Spyder has been out for several years now and there should be more choices. We are surprised more companies haven't jumped on this yet.
