Poll Keep the standard exhaust or change to Akrapovic exhaust system?

[Zafiro]

Waiting for the summer season to start again I'm thinking what to change for my motorcycle. New exhaust system is the first thing on my list.
Full System with Titanium Muffler made by Akrapovic.
Products from Akrapovic doesn't come cheap but I'm saving money for it.

I'm buying it for the sound but it gives the bike another +5 hp, +5.3Nm@5000 rpm and the exhaust system is 2.4 kg lighter than the standard system.

My question to you. Do you think the sound from Akrapovic is worth it or keep it stock?

Go to this link. You can choose to listen to the standard sound and sound from Akra exhaust:

Button to the left, stock. Button to the right, Akra​

Akrapovic sounds like heaven.

How much does it cost?

Akrapovic sounds like heaven.

How much does it cost?

Swedish kronor converted into Euro = 1530 euro
...and I need help to install it so some extra euro for the help from someone who knows how to install and mount it on the bike.


EDIT: According to Yamaha Greece it will cost you 1340 Euro (without the installation)

It's much more than I expected, but if you are ok with the cost, then if I were you, I'd go for it.

PS. If you think of buying it from Greece in order to save 190€ minus shipping then I can help you with that.

You can calculate the cost of shipping from Greece to your house from here:

I'm glad it's not for a performance car then it would be darn expensive.
I dont know what to do yet, if its better to order directly from the dealer or from another country.

Do you even need to ask?

Akrapovic exhaust ordered. Coming from UK with free delivery to Sweden. They also had a discount. Much cheaper than buying from a swedish dealer. But another 3 months until I can mount it on the bike, winter season is here you know.

Standard exhaust.
