grayhawkglen Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I will be on a new FJ-09 next month, and will be looking to modify the exhaust immediately. I see that the Akrapovic full system is popular with FJ-09 owners. I have experience with many exhausts over time on different bikes, but never Akrapovic. Wondering what it sounds like. I do not mind loud (actually like it) but I do want a low pitch. Has anyone installed a Two Brothers system? 2015 Yamaha FJ-09 Sold: KTM Super Duke 990, Ducati 1098S, BMW K1200S, HD Fat Boy, HD Road King Classic, Kawasaki KLR 650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member ULEWZ Posted January 23, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted January 23, 2015 No aftermarket exhaust in my future until the FJR sells and the wife gets off disability. I will be looking at the M4 exhaust that a lot of guys have on the FZ-09 forum. A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

grayhawkglen Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 I am pretty interested in that M4 slip on as well. Don't know that I need a full system. I have seen some chatter about conflicts with the center stand, and hope that is not an issue, because the center stand wins! 2015 Yamaha FJ-09 Sold: KTM Super Duke 990, Ducati 1098S, BMW K1200S, HD Fat Boy, HD Road King Classic, Kawasaki KLR 650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fzkenm Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Normally not too quick to swap the stock exhaust for aftermarket. However, coming from an FZ-09 I'm very interested in moving the HP/Wt ratio back towards the FZ side. For the FZ it seemed the Akro Carbon full system offered the best bang for the buck by dropping more than 8 pounds and adding a couple of HP. Be interested to see what others come up with for reducing weight. I'll be picking up my new FJ in a few days and will have plenty of time to contemplate how to make it better while waiting for Winter to be over. Likely won't make too many changes until I can ride it and establish a "base line" to compare against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waniek Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Well i am getting Akrapovic full titanium as i got confirmation it works without problems with center stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crotchrocket Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Anyone tried another exhaust than the Titanium Akrapovic yet ?? To be honest, the M4 exhaust sounds great, and its half the price of the Akra. Would be worth paying a few £ to modify the centre stand, if it needed it.

Notice how us yanks try to impose some (what we think is) British humor? I am interested in mods as well. I think the M4 is priced right and sounds good.

b12ty Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 From what I've read and seen in vids, the M4 needs the cat to be cut off ( could be rewelded later ) and tends to pop and crackle without a tune. It does have a bung for the O2 sensor on inner side. Does sound good, and price is right.

RandyD Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Heard an unrestricted full Yoshimura carbon system in person the other day. All I can say is DAMN. It was loud but sounded mean as hell. If I had an FZ it'd be my first choice. On my FJ? Not so much. I'm not sure I want a pipe on this bike but I'll reserve judgement till I hear the Arka full Ti system in person. I'm all about trying to shed some lbs as long as it doesn't get obnoxious loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
