I'm presuming a fee people have used them on here my question is how did you find them? Personally I'm wishing I hadn't bothered. Ordered a system for my partners cbr500r 3 weeks ago and just been told that I'm looking at another 3 weeks before its ready. I think that is a bit of a joke due to the price of the thing and bearing in mind I has to pay upfront too. Wish I had gone for the yoshi instead now would be on the bike now. Live and learn I suppose.

Speaking from a little experience. I have a tail can on the zed, a tail can on my 525 supermoto and a full system on my RSV4 factory. They are "one of the brand names to have"....for me: downsides...
1. The cost. Even second hand they cost a fair bit, full systems moreso. 2. Spares...to a certain extent none existent. When i went looking for a part last year, (a titanium collector) for my rsv4 i ended up at the uk wholesaler who essentially said "no chance" second hand is your best bet. In startk contrast i ordered a collector for the arrow headers on the zed for the local uk wholesaler who said "yep, not a problem, arrow stock all individual parts so should take about a week". Reasonably priced too. about 170 quid delivered. Having said that i have found a place in the US that stocks the end carbon fibre tips so i may order a spare for the rsv4/zed (same tail pipe)
Upsides: 1. Build quality: brilliant. Never had any issues with any akra ever. 2. Sound: This is a biggie....for me the akra sound has not been bettered. Ive had a fair few pipes on the end of the zed and the akra is the perfect mix of noise and tone and not ear splittingly loud either. The best result being from the zed....that with the akra on it sounds perfect, just how i want it to sound.

Well I've just been told that I'm now looking at November before I see this exhaust. My opinion is they may have the best build and sound but are useless unless they are bolted to the bike. Time to cancel the order and go yoshi.

Is this a full system? or just end can... arrow do a set of race headers for it..then you can get whatever end can you want....same as i did for the zed... www.arrow.it/en/assembled/1462

It's just a can. Can't believe it takes over 2 months to produce 1 end can. I understand that akcropovic are a massive company but this just shows that they don't look after the individual customer more interested in the big company's. Guess I should have seen it in the name

Then I would go second hand...cheaper plus all you need with regards to looking is the diameter of the exit pipe...
