tmax exhaust silliness

Has anyone had any experience or heard much about the akrapovic tmax exhaust? I saw one on a bike this morning and thought it looked rather tasty

Plenty of vids of them on YouTube, if its a newer model with a CAT you should get some extra power as you will prob be removing it.

is it this one? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... 467474945/

i've been thinking about it too. i think it's unnecessarily more noisy. it's not like we have gears in scooters where we can feel the need to hear the satisfying engine tone through gears...

I was gonna say that, its silly money of your just buying the pipe no its own as its a top brand name and will prob sound like a wet fart on a scoot

Thats more or less what I was thinking.... although I do htink it looks somewhat better than the stock exhaust (bit slimer).. not worth the cash on that basis though. I also suspect that the performance difference will be very marginal.

I have an old Akropovic brochure for their exhaust on the original TMAx - claim another 2bhp at the wheel if I remember correctly. It comes with a removable baffle to keep noise down to tolerable levels.
Utterly appallingly expensive if bought new (Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£700?) so for those with loadsa money....
