Leo Vince vs. Akrapovic

[cosmic]

If you were running good before, then no, you can leave it just as is. Put the can on and ride.
If you make the system more free flowing by adding headers with no cat, a free flow air filter and the can, then you would need to improve the amount of fuel in. jmho

In my case I did the CO adjustment a couple of weeks before I installed the LV. After I installed the LV the bike ran even better than it did before so I did not mess with CO, or anything else for that matter. In any case, as Jim suggested, I would install the Akra and ride it for some time before doing anything else. I am not a fan of doing multiple mods at the same time. If you mess something up you know what you need to fix or undo. :-[

Thanks guys! I appreciate your help. As you suggest, i'll ride it like this for a while, to figure out if there's any mod needed.

I've just been offered a LeoVince for equivalent $530. Same guys that are providing the Leo's for the little FZ6 .... maybe I just leave it until next year I can't fit now anyway .... it'd have to wait until I get back. Don't know .... :-\

Doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of room (price wise) on the leo Vince pipes. 58cycle.com has a price of 543.00

The Two Brothers does not sound loud in this video at all. It actually sounds like it gives a nice smooth note as he gets on the throttle. Always hard to tell from a video. They are also inside. Who knows how they edited it. Anybody have a Two Brothers installed? Thoughts?
