All the best with the horse and the dog.

Quick update from the UK distributor today.
Basically the pictures and system shown at the Milan show is of a prototype pipe. They wanted to show something at the show as they felt customers had started to look else where.
The prototype pipe is pretty much production spec with the only issues currently linked to the use of Carbon on the silencer and heatshield. Akra are currently looking at the possiblity of having to use a ceramic heatshield depending on longevitiy of the carbon item. Also the carbon tips on the silcencers may end up being Ti as Akra have concerns about stone chipping and heat damage due to the location.
For the UK guys we should be seeing production spec exhausts arriving at the end of Jan with JHP getting the first one to run on the superstock bike.
I have been promised power, weight and noise specs before Christmas which I'll post as soon as I get them.
I ended up grabbing the headers for $1709. This all seems quite ridiculous. At least I know they are covered, mapping should be native, and it'd be far more expensive to try and sell my slips and buy a complete new system. So, you win some you lose some.
I hope the ECU update sticks and the up-map just unlocks the Evo map.
So Santa, you mean you had the Termi slips, and you added headers?
If you are so fond of expressing yourself, why did you delete your post? Atleast have the balls to stick to what you say, or grow some. I have a pair to go .... with, but you don't have that option I think.
I have just received an email from supply. They said first exhaust will be ship off 1st week of March 2013.
So if anyone has put money down or thinking of it will be along wait for the system, i will hold off until they are actually have the system in stock
If they are THAT BAD
nope that is the panigale rs which i photoshopped to see the color scheme I will be going with for my R (hoping i'm able to get it by summer that is). Till then just trying to be happy with yamahas and hyosungs
The front ohlins cost 12K (I think the 000 series or the 900 I forget which), the first mod i'm planning to make. Not too sure about the brakes.
As promised:
Personally, I believe that the base plot is always gonna be a moving reference point, depending on the version of Ducati map, plus settings being used.
As you can see, this is September time stamped, so is already the "old" map.
Having said that, since Akra say their system should be used with the standard "Race" map, I wonder how it will be affected by the continual updates Ducati will make to their own maps
Is this the full system termi, or slip ons?
Also, does anyone have a dyno chart comparing the Akrapovic to a full system Termignoni with the new and updated up-map?
I never sell. My bikes or my horses, my only two passions in life - I get too attached to them.
Does that sound too cheesy
