Premium Member mikerbiker Posted May 29, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted May 29, 2020 2019 Tracer GT w 8800 miles. Thinking of adding something nice because why the hell not, we're all going to die someday. Are people happy w the AKRO full exhaust: steel pipes, titanium exhaust w carbon end cap? If Yosh still offered the branded full system would prob get that for several hundred less but dont see it anymore. Reflash for full system is no charge for me... Thoughts?

I love mine, but quiet, but 3x 10mm holes in the side of the baffle tubes makes a nice noise. Edited May 30, 2020 by Buggy Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingo Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) I have the full Akra on mine and love it for its looks and sound.. not too loud and obnoxious. Rather quiet under steady throttle but sings beautifully under hard acceleration and burbles with small pops under deceleration. It's a lot of money but to me I just wanted it and didn't try to justify the cost. It's a quality kit. Edited June 1, 2020 by mingo 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koth442 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I've got the full Akro, it's better than stock, but not as light as I would have liked. I did not need an ECU flash, but I did eventually get one. In hindsight, I wish I would have spent the money on suspension. 5 '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wintersdark Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Absolutely, suspension > exhaust. Exhaust mods are fundamentally cosmetic. Look and sound. Sure, you can get a couple extra HP, but it's a trivial gain that's usually not even very usable in normal riding. This isn't a bad thing! We all spend lots on way stupider farkles! But it's cosmetic. Suspension looks cool but actively improves the handling of the bike. Function wins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
