BMW S1000RR Akrapovic headers with stock mufler

jimmy330xi · 11-14-2011, 01:39 PM

Just wanted to share a vid, My bike has the full race Akrapovic exhaust but I removed the shorty can and placed the stock can back to see if it will still produce a nice sound, and to my surprise it did. Removing the huge catalytic converter from the bike was a huge improvement. The bike feels a lot lighter and the extra horsepower is very welcome, plus the sound is sick.

I have the full Termignoni ti with cf cans on my r1 that you see on the background.

That back fire is sexy. I love how the Akrapovic can looks. You should put it back on!

Any vids of the exhaust on your R1?

TimZ · 11-14-2011, 02:31 PM

Wow I'm pretty jelly right now
Excellent and beautiful note

Why did you put the stock can back on?

Congrats. I'm waiting for Spring to see the 2012's.

The Akrapovic can is back on, looks so much better, Akrapovis is an mazing exhaust system, even louder with the Akra can.

No video of the R1, cant ride it right now duet to a highside thanks to a stupid lady backing up in the middle of the road on a 1 way street and my escape rout being covered with sand.

Just wanted to experiment, looking for a different option for track days. If the worst ever happens and I drop it on that side at least Im not spending $800 on a new can, unbolt the stock one and slip the akra back on after the track day and you are done. It takes about 5 min to change.

holy moly backfire!

The 2012 is sick, the tail section looks a lot better and better power distribution, specially on the midrange, but after a new exhaust and power commander, the power might be a little intimidating for some.

You're making me anxious! I sold my ZX-6R for this and everything I've read agrees that the S1KRR is a force to be reckoned with. The 1199 will be interesting to watch! It's nipping at the heels of BMW!

SilverII · 11-14-2011, 08:56 PM

nice

I like the Duc, and now the 1199 comes with the power to match the looks, trust me a nice bike. I have ridden the 1098 and 1198, and both are amazing bikes, but a BMW is a BMW, and thats all you need to know. If I was to buy an italian superbike my money would go to the MV Agusta F4RR.

The ergo's on the 1098 were painful for day to day street riding. The S1KRR has been my dream bike. As good as the 1199 may be, it's not the bike for me. I've had my sights set on the S1KRR for awhile. It's happening.
