well im looking to get a new exhaust for my bike... after reading some stuff on here i figured would just go with a slip on and i found two that both have good reputations from what have heard and read but i cant decide between the two. i narrowed it down to the yoshimura tri oval and the akrapovic evolution. they are both around the same price so that's not really a problem (yoshi-$376 shipped akra-$380 w/o shipping). so what are your opinions/experiences/suggestions?

yeah i decided on a slip on because i layed it down a while back and it rashed up my pipe pretty bad... so i need to get a new pipe anyway to get rid of the road rashed pipe but im not lookin for a lot of performance gains out of it.

i have the akra on my gsxr and my friend has the yosh on his. we both like mine much better. it sounds better and is better quality. he actually took his yosh off and put his stock back on because he yosh sounded shitty and back fired alot.

Let me guess, he put on the Yosh without a powercommander or he put it on with one but, without a good tune. It's not the pipe that causes that it's the tune or if you put on a pipe without a power commander it will never run perfect. These aren't old hot rods these are computer controlled beast.
Both would be good systems. Yosh has a lot of R&D with Suzuki through their race program. An advantage of Akrapovic is that you could get a header later from them to work with your slip on. Yosh might be able to do the same thing, but you would have to call them to check. This is a nice feature if you decide to upgrade to a full system later.
I have the Carbon Akra slipon. I tried calling them to get the Headers, (I should have bought the whole system) and they told me the headers only came with the full system.
yeah i saw where i could order the headers seperate once i get the money but i wasnt sure if it would matter cuz i would still need the mid pipe... but on a different note would i have to get a power commander with the pipe or would it be ok to put on the pipe and tune it with a power commander later? btw im petty sure im going to go with the akra carbon.
