Just bit the bullet, ordered Akra Titanium (didn't want one as loud as carbon), before the price increase in January... Got a good deal I reckon £713 delivered, no import duty.... Thank you Carpimoto (Italy)

Come on Jan 8th, FedEx, I love you....

Carpimoto are a great firm to deal with and offer great advice and back up service if you ever need it.
Very competative pricing
,ive used them several times for various stuff and just got a couple of Brembo RCS master cylinders from them,which arrived within the week.

Let us know how you get on and your thoughts.
I fitted a Akro Carbon last night and the sound is way better and louder than the youtube clips,I never fitted the baffle as it would be a pain to remove once it is all together.
Also the fitting wasn't quite as described in the instructions, seemed to gloss over the foot peg and associated bracket (which is behind the foot peg).
Downside is I'm packing today as we go on holiday tomorrow for two weeks so won't get a decent ride for a while.
Have to say that the sound is truly addictive, plus love the popping on the over run.

My Akra carbon is on the way can't wait, will head to the Dyno for a custom PCV map when it is fitted & will share the map.

Great plan, I'm waiting to take mine to the local shop where one of the mech's has an MT09 and run it on the dyno see how it comes out, verses the Akro claims.
Not sure I'll go the PCV route unless funds allow, exhaust and suspension have emptied my funds.

I had 1hr ride today (yes should have been packing for hols) and she kept lifting the front without trying, even at 4-5k, Just little ones but didn't happen before without trying.
Also seemed to be a bit more urgent than normal and I never came out of STD mode.
Can't wait to get back and catch up with my mate on his Aprillia 2014 Tuono and see if the new suspension and exhaust make a difference on a run.
