From Hellgate's thread starter:
Kind of porky, I weighed the stock muffler on a digital scale, I was so excited to install the Arko I forgot to weigh it! Oops...It is at least half of stock.
From Hellgate's thread starter:
Hi all,
I intend to buy FZ6 Fazer along with the SLIP-ON SP SERIES Akrapovic muffler and I have two questions I will be very grateful if you answer:
The official Akrapovic site says that the muffler was designed for 04-05 FZ6 version. Does in fit for the '08 FZ6 Fazer? Is there anyone who can confirm it or deny?
Hellgate said that those DB killers could be easily pulled out. What about installing them back in place?? (stupid, I know but sometimes one could want to silence the sound e.g. before a long trip). Can it be easily done, or it is a one-way operation?
Thanks in advance,
T.
Glad this got bumped, I hadn't seen it. Nice writeup, that is a sharp looking exhaust! I've heard good things about Akropovic but they dont get too much attention on this forum, I wasn't even aware Akro made a set for the FZ6 until recently, would've been worth a healthy consideration over 2 bros. Oh well, I'm certainly not dissappointed by what I got. Oh also, I was surprised at the weight of the stock exhaust as well, aftermarkets definitely trim some fat. I know the 2 bros cut about 8lbs from stock.
Make sure to let us know how your new PC-III works out, I am most interested. I may have found a deal for one on Craigslist, we'll see if that pans out. :Sport:
Do post back with the PCIII updates. BTW have you been able to find a map for your Akro pipes?
any certificate that includes the serial number of the exhaust or something like that? i actually have a softcopy of a TUV test report if that's what you are referring to.If I recall (it's been two and a half years) it came with the German TUV certificate. Not sure if that works in Singapore.
nice big bump, lol,
I was wondering about the hourglass lookalike thingy,
Í never read in the installation manual to ever insert it,
besides that it looked like some cut off piece they accidentally added lol.
where/how do you insert it, and do I really have to? I rode the bike for about 100km's and didn't notice anything wrong...
it doesn't even mention it in the online installation guide:

What is the best price for the Akra exhaust right now on the "world" market?
I have a 2008 FZ6 S2 and I need the exhaust badly ... does anyone know?
I put Akrapovic exhaust 3-4 weeks ago but, the noise was too much without db killers and it was nearly like stock with db killers in.
I couldn't find the middle optimum noise.
Then i saw this shortened db killers in an ebay auction:
May be i should cut them a bit, what do you say?
