Hey folks, I went ahead and removed the DB killer on our stock double-barrel Akrapovics.
The DB killer is located at the entrance of the muffler and tacked in place by 6 spot welds. It was more of a pain to get it out than I originally thought, but I kept my patience and she eventually came out.
The sound difference isn't life changing, but it is definitely noticeable. It is deeper and has a louder growl. IMO, I think it's worth pulling out and seeing how you like it before going down the servo buddy path.
Cheers!

Took mine out last night after watching your video. Wow you were not kidding about being a pain. A dremel tool is your friend for sure. I do like the sound better. A little deeper like an Akrapovic should sound like. Still waiting for the headers to come out from Akrapovic. Had the full titanium exhaust (no cat) on my 2022 R1250GSA and it sounded great.

Yep, it was a pain. Just needed patience. Not sure why they jam them in there so tight. I too am waiting for a header that looks good and performs.

I chose the same wheels and tyres .. utterly delighted.

Awesome combo.

defo sounds more throaty with Db removed, good job - your bike looks fab too, mines isn't as clean, the roads in Scotland are a mess at the moment, but hey ho it they will get better...

@MotoPapa88 2 месяца назад

Thank you! Just waiting for those decat options to make it even deeper.

@dazquattrosrus 3 месяца назад

Great video. does it make any difference when riding? Sound, performance?

@MotoPapa88 3 месяца назад

A slight difference when riding. Again, nothing to write home about, it you can tell mostly on deceleration.

@Tmac_GS 21 день назад

Did you measure the dB difference with vs without the dB killer? How many dB was it without? Is it still street legal over there? Thanks!

@MotoPapa88 21 день назад

I didn't. But it doesn't make it much louder, but more so deeper. Yes, it's street legal in LA. Everyone has aftermarket exhausts much much louder than this and cops don't care if you're not riding like an idiot.

@sorryociffer Месяц назад

Love the look of that style... Any thoughts on whether you think it would fit a 1250?

@MotoPapa88 Месяц назад

I actually ordered a black HP Corse from Italy so I might be selling this one soon, if you want. Not sure it fits the 1250 though. Im sure it fits the header pipe but not sure where the hanger is in relation to the 1300's.

@@MotoPapa88 if I can confirm they will direct swap, I’d be interested.

@MotoPapa88 Месяц назад

You got it. Just let me know, and remember that it won't have the DB killer as I had to drill it out. (Sounds way better in my opinion anyways.)

@sorryociffer Месяц назад

@@MotoPapa88 I will probably be able to know for sure Monday. I’ll reach out to a shop that specializes in GS bikes.

Those wheels are bitchin' but it would be proper with a set of spoke hoops.

@MotoPapa88 2 месяца назад

I love spokes and almost went with them, but these wheels are so much lighter and so much easier to clean. In person, they look even cooler.

@vstm3950 Месяц назад

But I don't get it, why pay BMW for Akrap option and tamper with it if you can buy stock and aftermarket can, Akrap for e.g. with removable dB killer. Why to botter with factory option?

@MotoPapa88 Месяц назад

Well, I enjoy tinkering with my toys. I hate the sound of the stock sound. I didn't want the Akra in the first place but it came with the bike. Secondly, I already have another exhaust on its way.

@vstm3950 Месяц назад

@@MotoPapa88 ah ok I get it now. Sincw it came with the bike you naturally wanna improve what you don't like. I was under impression you payed for this option which made no sense haha. Cheers from Poland

@MotoPapa88 Месяц назад

No no. I never wanted the exhaust to begin with as I had other ideas, but alas, the bike came with it. It's a great looking exhaust but it's heavy and the sound it makes compared to the stock one does not warrant $1K extra.

You need exhaust servo eliminator

Waiting on decat header options

@LonelyTreeSunset 2 месяца назад

Desperately needs decat headers and a servo delete.

@MotoPapa88 2 месяца назад

Patiently waiting on headers to hit the market...

@a8f235 3 месяца назад

Db killers used to be just to remove with a bolt at the end. Uninstall in 10 seconds. Sad it's more of a job now.

@MotoPapa88 3 месяца назад

Yep...you can thank Euro 5 regulation crap...

@johanstrampraat1684 3 месяца назад

It still a bit soft….

@MotoPapa88 3 месяца назад

True, but good enough for now. Eventually, I'll just swap out headers once enough manufacturers start producing them.

@revvaddictz 3 месяца назад

Haha… No DB killer sounds great dude… But when you take that Servo off its gonna sound even better… Not like a straight pipe Harley Davidson annoying loud.. But a nice loud. I took off my centerstand also.. Serves absolutely no purpose lol you have a kickstand… Funny when i took mine off dealer goes na leave on it makes it easier for us to do work on it at service.. i laughed i said ok so make my payments.. He said “Why would i do that” i said same reason id leave centerstand on for you to work on it the 2 times you’ll see my bike at service 🤣🤣

@MotoPapa88 3 месяца назад

My Harley would wake up neighborhoods two miles away. LOL. The servo ain't going to get it there, but ya, it will get deeper.
