Exhausts and Engine » Akrapovic Exhaust

I'm thinking about installing an Akrapovic Exhaust on my R1200RS. Does anyone have this exhaust and what do you think of it???

I have the official Akropovic on my 2017. As far as I am concerned it is mainly a cosmetic change to get rid of the original chrome monstrosity. It has a brushed (?) titanium finish which looks better and I consider the shape more attractive. But having said that, I don't believe it does anything for performance, it is not much lighter, it doesn't sound much different with the baffle in, and it is still big. I got it because my dealer told me that BMW would invalidate the engine warranty if I used anything else, not specifically because I wanted it.
There are a number of threads on here about exhaust options. Two recent ones related to a very happy Arrow customer, and a very happy SC Projects customer, both of which look smaller and neater than the Akropovic. I suspect both would be less expensive as well. Remus has a very good following, and used to be the official BMW option, but they also seem to be quite bulky.
It is a personal thing which all depends on what you are looking for, but I would have a look at the existing threads before you make any short list. I would want to look at the SC Projects if I were in the market.

Had one on my 2015. Nice sound but agree with previous reply , not that light and also pretty big.

I have a Leo Vince can sounds good, a lot lighter and smaller than the standard one, no probs with warranty 20180715_175922[1].jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

I have the SC projects silencer on mine, I bought it second hand from a forum member, £200, a lot lighter, looks better than the chrome lump and sounds really good, a bit louder with a great overun popping, especially in dynamic.

Acro, just throwing money away.

I bought mine second hand, at half price compared to the normal dealer price, probably wouldn't have done it if I had to pay the full price.

Main reasons are the looks and sound, I really hated the chrome looks of the standard cigar, the titanium looks so much better! The sound is also nicer, even with the DB killer insert, specially at high revs.
The weight and power aren't a big difference anyway, and did not influence my decision.
