Aden Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 What are the differences between these 2 and why would you choose one over the other? Do they sound completely different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topazsparrow Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 They sound pretty much the same in the real world. The bottom one is louder with no baffle in it. The bottom one makes more power with a tune, the first one can (officially stated) be run without a tune as long as you leave the baffle in.

The top one makes most power with a tune...can be used without a tune by running the exhaust with the baffle and "cat" Top one has a wider TQ curve vs the bottom one In all honesty, I would choose Yoshi and the Hordpower Airbox and a tune- cost just as much as an Akra-Ti and tune set up... 1 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition...2015 fj-09- 120whp- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich Race Kit- tuned by 2WDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aden Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 I've found a third one now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Since the differences in h.p. are negligible on the street (pipe alone) I would just get one I liked for it's looks and sound. The Akra's sound pretty much the same, the carbon being slightly louder but not so loud that it's bothersome. (w/DB killer in). I've hear most of the other pipes for this bike and they all sound good in their own way, some being louder than others, maybe too loud. (M4 in mind but some like it loud) Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member cornerslider Posted March 30, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted March 30, 2019 I currently have your "third option". I bought it because it seemed like a good compromise between the other two. (I have NO idea why Akrapovic makes three pipes for the same bike- WTH????) I did the Hordpower intake/PVC map. I also "modified" my db killer/insert. I drilled a couple extra holes in each the baffle tubes (check YouTube). This retains the quiter sound at lower RPM, but gives it more "bark" when you hammer on it . I am absolutely thrilled with what Hord has done for the FZ-07. His intake/map, was by far the BEST $300 if thrown at my bike - ""W.O.T. until you see god, then brake" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eMpTy-Oh7 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Hi, sorry didn't mean to hijack your thread. I am in the market for a 2018 / 2019 MT-07 and I've gone through listening to a lot of youtube exhaust sound and this Akrapovic sounds the best. 1) Anyone running this from the get go with db killer removed and no tune? Just curious if it affects the engine long term. I don't ride enough miles to care if it just loses 1 or 2 horses and drops a few mpg. 2) How hard is it to remove and put in db killer for carbon or the titanium? 3) I read the Akrapovic titanium does not require tune if you leave the db killer in but a lot of people say it's quiet with the db killer. Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that true? The db killer removal on the Titanium is an exercise in patience..... WD-40 is your friend, take your time. It took me about 45 minutes the first time. I can do it in 5 minutes now. The Akrapovic Titanium is pretty quiet with the db killer in, but too loud (for my taste without it). Read my earlier reply to this thread on making it it slightly louder if that's your thing. Good luck- ""W.O.T. until you see god, then brake" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck- Hmmmm.....you wouldn't happen to be that guy who removed the db-killer and drilled like 4 holes and placed it back in? I saw that youtube video not long ago. What about removing db-killer from the carbon version? also a pain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewnguyen23 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I ran the Akra TI no db killer and no tune - lots of backfire and clear underperformance. I tuned with 2wheel and it is perfection. As many other riders have stated, No DB killer will literally kill your ears after a few hours of riding. It is a few notches louder than stock with the DB killer, but you can swap in and out easily.
