roy826 72 Posted November 9, 2020 First thing I usually do to a new bike is exhaust swap if nothing more than to lose a few lbs. Prefer slipons due to ease and no tuning. Not crazy about noise so I usually leave the baffles in except on my last Suzuki I removed it due to the tune being better with it out. I knew buying a Tracer with the underslung exhaust my options were limited to a full system which brings its own set of headaches with a tune. So if I want to stay stock tune my only option is the high dollar $$ Akro full system? They make a few different ones for the Tracer and I want to keep my center stand. I have read this entire section and it is confusing as to what I need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roy826 72 Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) Thanks Joe! Pipe came to me packed very well, original box👍 It is already on my bike. Took me maybe 45 minutes. Owning a bike lift sure eases things especially work like this. I have not fired it up yet, my wife works 2nd shift at a local hospital while I work from home. I’ll start it up in about two more hours when she’s up. Pretty good weight savings and that is what I wanted more than sound.

mellow 262 Posted November 11, 2020 Glad to hear it... lol It's not that loud at start up and idle.. it's when you stay in one gear and accelerate that it shines. 1 ST-Owners Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes as posted it is the one for the Tracer and no tuning required. My bike runs no different than stock with it as far as fueling goes. Just sounds better and weighs less than stock system. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
