hi everybody , has anyone fitted the akrapovic exhaust themselves ? are there any problems to encounter whilst fitting ? how about any fueling modifications , do they need to be made or will the bike run ok with no modifications ? and finally who is selling them for the best price and has got them in stock ? cheers all

akrapovic exhaust
- Thread starter Yam MT 07
- Start date
I should imagine the Akra uses the same mounting points as the standard system so check out my thread on exhaust removal and just do the same but in reverse.
I stand to be corrected though.

Far as I know. You pay that extra expensive price because it is made specially for this bike so no modifications should be necessary.
easy to fit and remove but I found the bike doesn't run very well unless you also purchase the cat !!!
once my cat arrived and I refitted it runs perfect

)thanks for the info everybody , just need to find someone selling them at a reasonable price !! my local dealer gave me a special price for the exhaust and the cat ( because I purchased the bike from them ) of £900 but he did say that it included free fitting !!!!!!!!!

£736.89 posted from yamabits for me
And the RRP is £780
The OP was priced on exhaust and Cat by the dealer. £780 + £80 for the cat and £40 fitting = 900
Hence £820 for CAT and zorst from yamabits
Bloody Hell... I'd fit it for forty quid !!!
It only takes twenty minutes and probably half that if you get the right tools ready first.
Of course the Arrow is only five hundred quid delivered (though without cat and bit more fiddly to fit) On the other hand I carry some circlip pliers under the seat and can take the DB Killer/baffle out and stick it back in in under thirty seconds including taking the seat off to get the pliers out.

Ordered my Akra 3 weeks ago. Price is approx 785 included cat. This is a special price, got 10% discount.
I will fit it by myself. Expected delivery is end of July.
To fit your new exhaust you need new gaskets. It is not recommended to keep the original, buy a new pair of it.

Yes and no... Bear in mind none of us are likely to have owned the bike for long or done high mileage. Also. when I took mine off the nuts on the manifold studs were pretty loose. I re used the gaskets without a problem.

Disagree. It doesn't matter the mileage. The gasket deforming during the installation. You have to change it even if you fit back the same exhaust. You may have luck but this is the rule. The gasket is cheap, change it.

Has anyone seen a carbon one yet / got that price - I thought it was going to be cheaper.

Some shops outside the UK are saying the carbon will be about 130 euros cheaper than the titanium so i would say around a £100 cheaper in reality.
