The original sounds and looks even better.

@wannabadv 2 месяца назад

It is definitely sounding good even as original!

Nice vid . Thx

The akra does sound great and I'm all for louder pipes save lives, but on the GS i'm maybe not so sure, these bikes are mostly for touring around the EU and some of these countries are getting really strict about the loudness of a bike, don't get me wrong its not a decat sports bike by any means, but im not sure its actually worth the extra £900 on a GS

I've got one and when ye slowing down it pops & crackles just beautiful sound 😊

@wannabadv 8 месяцев назад

Love it! Makes you smile :)

@Drago2502 15 дней назад

Yes that's right, except this Akrapovic doesn't crack and has no backfire at all. WHY?? (my Akrapovic Titanium under 2009'GSA is beautiful and it pops/explodes every time)

@lamilumag 2 месяца назад

Original seems better in any case and the best: it‘s already included and installed on the bike! :D

@wannabadv 2 месяца назад

The extra money on Akra can be used for travel 😄

@BcDano139 2 месяца назад

Love the look of the Akra, the sound is okay, the cost is ugh!

@wannabadv 2 месяца назад

Agree! I got a chance to get it second hand for reasonable price 🙂

@MKA63 9 месяцев назад

Is it worth it? - that would be a resounding Yes! 🙂

Das Geld ist es nicht Wert den Acro zu nehmen. Der originale Auspuff klingt auch sehr gut, und hat meistens noch etwas mehr Leistung als der Acro. Vom Gewicht sind beide gleich. ! Ja, der Acro sieht besser aus, aber sonst nix.!! Ein Umbau ist unrentabel...!!

@martyn_g 6 месяцев назад

Basically the same weight. On a big bike like the GS, I wouldn’t be worried about that, lol

@wannabadv 6 месяцев назад

Agree! I was curious to see the difference, but it is not a factor at all for the GS. Not sure if you also change the headers to the Akrapovic version

@umphreydave24 6 месяцев назад

For $1500 USD? If I’ve got money to burn, sure why not. But I don’t, so mine is still stock! My Mosko Moto panniers offer far more utility for the money!

@wannabadv 6 месяцев назад

Indeed it is quite pricey. I got this one as second handed for $600

Hola, que retrovisores llevas?

@wannabadv 8 месяцев назад

Hola Miguel, en este vídeo eran originales BMW Opción 719 para la GS. Ahora uso espejos Double Take porque son más adecuados para todo terreno.

Bought black Akra and went for a ride. I came back, let it get cooler and took if off and installed the OEM again. Too much noise for me. Eaven with the OEM I ride with earplugs on highway. I’m probably too sensitive😂

@wannabadv 2 месяца назад

Fair callout - at least it is important that you tried for yourself 😁

@groverw7507 6 месяцев назад

What is the performance benefit beyond the sound enhance?

@wannabadv 6 месяцев назад

Have not measured it on dyno, but anecdotal feeling is better. Well it could also be just the sound making me giving it more throttle 😄

@achristian7015 4 месяца назад

I subscribed to MOTORRAD magazine for over a decade. They used to test five or more aftermarket exhausts and compared then to the stock unit. No gains worth talking about and in most cases it was worse. Not by much. They stopped doing those tests probably due to the manufacturers advertizing with them.

@thanhto3023 Месяц назад

Sounds almost the same to me except some more grunt note from the akra. OEM with the Rallye model so I would assume same loudness level of noise to comply with Euro 5. Looks good, but not worth the money imo.

@wannabadv Месяц назад

Yeah the stock is quite good as well once you compare them. The video may not capture it super well, but the Akra has a bit of that “braaap” enduro bike sound to it 😄

@crgia 3 месяца назад

Can you remove the baffles?

@wannabadv 3 месяца назад

Yup, once you remove the carbon cover, there are two spot welds that need grinding and you can. I believe there was a video on it.

@svenschrecker 2 месяца назад

Hey, question for you: I see you have pegs in your fuel ring for a tank bag, but I don’t recognize the mounting system. What bag do you put on it?

@wannabadv 2 месяца назад

Yep! So this is for the Shad E-04P tank bag. Now I am not sure I would recommend it as the mounting screws may be dangerous if you are offroading without it.

@svetoslavzamfirov8993 10 месяцев назад

Старото продава ли се ?

@wannabadv 10 месяцев назад

Ще измислим нещо 😄

@Dawid-cr7gh 2 месяца назад

Its better to give the original muffler for conversion de cat

@wannabadv 2 месяца назад

Didn't consider that, may give it a try and compare how they sound!

@user-gv6ny9wt5m Месяц назад

Standard sounds better

It’s been a while now and I definitely love it! 🎵

@marcinaaaa6358 21 день назад

W tym modelu akurat nie warto....1. Dźwięk stockowego wydaje sie lepszy lub jest na równi do akrapa, 2 Akrap nawet nie jest lżejszy...3 Akrap wygląda ochydnie, paskudna pucha...

My theory with almost 50 years in motorcycling, riders love to bling up their motorcycles and when there is nothing left to buy, they sell it and start all over again. What a waste of money and time. I guess to them motorcycling isn't about riding. I on the other hand have been places.
