Anyone ever heard of this outfit?

http://www.akrapovic.com/

I was browsing Yahoo today and they had an article about this bike they built

Motorcycle Superstore sells the exhausts but out of my price range. They make one for the Concourse and dirt and Enduro type bikes and Harleys but nothing for Vulcans.

Very high quality exhaust. (And, very expensive as you've seen.)

Veery high end exhaust. they do a lot of titanium stuff and full race units. They also have the track exhaust that is held together by springs instead of clamps. Cool stuff.

They are more well known in the sportbike and dirt worlds.

I don't think they get into the cruisers too much, unless you do something like Jay did with his Vaquero, and modify a sport bike exhaust can to fit your bike. You could always get creative. :)

I had an Akrapovic exhaust, titanium headers and carbon fiber muffler on my 2006 GSXR 750. The sound was that of beauty, the weight difference was a huge increase in performance itself, then I slapped a Power Commander 5 with Auto Tuner on it and that bike was a BEAST.
When I sold my GSXR, I put it all on my wife's GSXR 750. Along with other mods I'd already done to her bike, I have no problem claiming her bike is among the top ten quickest 750s out there. I don't claim she or I could make it the quickest though, lol
Akrapovic is the gold plated platinum of the motorcycle world in my opintion

That company Akropovic was founded in Slovenia. They are among the very best in performance and quality and are worth every penny, but I would only be looking at one of them for a race bike. I have a Freedom Performance 2-1 chrome pipe on the way for my Vaquero. I will report on it after I install it. Phatperformance...520 bucks.
