I see the Akra that maintains the center stand is closer to $1,200, though, and why I decided I wasn't going to do a pipe on this bike. That was until I saw the Yosh..... Mine shipped out to me today, should see it by next week  The Akra system cost me £1500, the cheapest supplier was direct from Akra. Wasn't very happy with price, but the quality is excellent and fitting is a doddle. 👍 1 2019 900 GT, 1969 Honda S90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the Akro route fit with centre stand then decided to take it off. I use a paddock st in the garage. I wanted something under the bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warchild Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 Well, I've had the damn 3-1 Yosh system NIB since early Dec, but the Long-Distance Endurance MT10 project build has consumed all my time. Since I just installed a Yosh 3/4 Alpha T on that bike, I am now on a Yosh roll... so this begins now: By the time I was done peeling off that stupid foam packing, I was ready to use that Exhaust Alignment tool on myself! 😖 More to come - this shouldn't be too bad an install. Maybe. It could happen. 🙄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warchild Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 Delay, delay, delay... but all installed now! 👍 It was a little fiddley, but it eventually got completed. When new, the Works Performance coating is a very nice matte satin, but after multiple heat cycles, is supposed to turn to a bronze-gold color. Getting rid of the weight of this pig-heavy eye-sore factory cat alone justifies installing this system: After 100 miles, the bronze-gold coloring looks awesome in real life: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2linby Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) Being a cheap ass I couldn't justify the Akra or Yoshi systems, so I went Delkevic. About half the price. CF can with full system under $500.00 out the door, you lighten the load as yes the stock is a beast and gets exceptional hot AND you retain the center stand. Do not buy the 9" can unless you want to go deaf! Don't ask how I know! https://delkevic.com/full-system-to-fit-fj-09-2015-2017-tracer-900-2019-2020-with-stubby-14-carbon-fiber-oval-muffler-and-stainless-steel-downpipes/ Edited April 8, 2023 by 2linby new info Everything is simple, Nothing is easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the look of the Akra a lot. Not a fan of the Delkevic even though I admit their value for money. I don’t actually mind the look of the original, and now it sounds great. All up cost of AU$70 including new crush gaskets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love my Delkevic carbon fiber 14 inch full exhaust, it both looks and sounds amazing, I never liked the huge/heavy/hot/quiet underbelly exhaust of the OEM. There is a local dyno, would really like to see what my specs are now, it for sure revs more freely and IMHO hits harder/faster when you get on it. I love Yoshi exhausts but damn they are expensive, sure do look amazing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robzilla Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Nice, love the Akro and Yoshi exhaust looks and sounds! Side question on the exhaust upgrades-- do folks just dump the OEM (responsibly of course), sell it for dirt cheap or give it away for free, or keep it if/when selling the bike?

Supporting Member Kenny A. Posted April 9, 2023 Supporting Member Share Posted April 9, 2023 Have kept my OEM exhaust. Will re-fit it when I sell my GT. 2019 900 GT, 1969 Honda S90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted April 10, 2023 Premium Member Share Posted April 10, 2023 Thanks Oz but do you have more pics of the large hole to the upper left you cut in the partition between the rear chamber and middle chamber; and did you drill that small (size?) In the upper right? Also any dimensions and pointers would be much appreciated. It is stainless steel correct? I was planning on using my Mig welder with Argon and a touch of Co2 but need to know what wire to use. It appears you used stick (with what rod?). You did a great job. How's it sound?
