Well it finally arrived after a 3 week wait!

Nice Titanium Akrapovic can, mate came round after I fitting it and promptly took out the baffles and told me he never wanted to see them near the bike again (apart from at MOT time).

Crappy pic from phone, sounds lovely!

 

Very nice, them and arrow are my fave in terms of sound and finish. They seem to have a new logo? I prefer the older one to be honest.

I had only seen them with the old logo:

So didn't know it had changed, but looking at their site I think all the new ones will be like mine as the uk distributor only got it in a couple of days ago (had been on order).

The new logo is growing on me, and besides the can looks great and sounds amazing so I am happy (even if my smilie in the title didn't work!).

Oops, double post: website is www.akrapovic.com flash intro shows old logo at the start which changes to the new one so going through a rebranding I think.

How much it set you back?

Yeh you defo chose the right choice of can and finish. Im keeping a look out for some on ebay. 

£359.10 delivered, think it should be £411 RRP.

Typically after I had ordered it I saw one on ebay but thought oh well, in the end noone bid and it went for £200 to a seller who has relisted it for £320! still at least it has warranty with it, now onto the list of other things I need to get for the bike! (oh and the ability to ride better, but can't buy that).

Very nice mate. I do agree they could have designed a better logo...

Can't wait to hear it, your bike had a nice sound even on the standard can..

Nice one mate.  Got a pic of the whole bike with it fitted?  Bet it sounds ace now.

Lovely can tim, little cleaning tip for you, after you dried everything squirt a bit of wd40 onto a rag and rub the can, comes up lovely.

Very nice.  The sound is much better with a decent can.

 

Oi! Deem! Leo Vince are up there as well.   Got an LV on both of my bikes.  The one on the Daytona was a £50 e-bay bargain

 

I got Leo Vince on the RSVR, they do sound amazing, but too fecking loud lol, plus was a pain in the bum trying to find some baffles for it so left a sour taste lol

On a side note, does anyone know how to remove melted cloth fibres from an exhaust can? Cans must have been very hot and I musta rubbed my jacket against them. Tried rubbing them off but no luck. I dont want to scratch them.

Have you tried WD-40?  Normally solves everything for me.  What about heating up the can again and trying to get it off then when its soft.

Cheers Mike, I have a new can of WD40 just for that (mentions it in the installation instructions on how to clean it), so when are we meeting for a ride out ?
