BMW R 1200 RT - Stock exhaust vs Akrapovič replacement

There are several video's on KZfaq illustrating the difference in sound between the stock exhaust and the replacement made by Akrapovič. However, I still found it hard to differentiate the actual differences and determine how the new pipe would sound. So when I got mine mounted I did my best to record my own comparison video.

It's proven difficult to get the real sound across, but it really does sound a lot deeper and mature than the stock exhaust. It seems I have failed at my attempt to be the one to capture an accurate comparison. After using this exhaust for something over a year I can tell you it's one of the best upgrades I made to this bike, besides the audial fun factor it's a lot better to look at and the blue/purple discoloration of the titanium is awesome. To each their own of course, hopefully my video still helps to get a slight impression of what the upgrade would do to your bike.

Thank you for your comment; it's making big change on my mind because I am in your shoes now.

I like the sound but I always think of the time I passed a speed trap in heavy traffic, if they didn't see me they would've heard me

You can never capture the true sound in video, but you can definitely tell the difference if you've ever recorded two different exhausts before

The stock exhaust is a piece of Art itself.

Not much difference. Not worth spending that 800-1k on it.

I prefer the stock, I had the choice but after hearing the Akrapovic I was shocked how bad it sounded for £950

Besides the sound, the muffler adds a few extra ponies to the bike!

If there is hp improvement it's in the low to mid range. A free flow air filter in the box and a secondary inlet to the box would give the motor quicker spin up and better again low mid range. Top end is negligible. The real gain is looks,sound and a 12kg weght loss. The link pipe and slip on range from £159. -£189 from what I've seen. No idea where you've got £800-£1k from😂

Hi. The test Is with db killer?

@darknessawaits Жыл бұрын

Yes, I thought that would be the most relevant comparison.

@tony8236 Жыл бұрын

@@darknessawaits Thank you. it would be interesting to hear it without db killer. have you tried it? Are there any performance improvements? definitely less weight. I would like to buy it but the price is not really cheap

@darknessawaits Жыл бұрын

@@tony8236 It's stated as a 2 hp improvement, but I'd say it's neglectable. It's certainly less heavy, but would you really notice when mounted on such a heavy bike? Probably not. I've mounted it for sound and looks - and yes, it is expensive. Even when bought second hand. But if you want it, go for it!

@tony8236 Жыл бұрын

@@darknessawaits I managed to find it at half price in good condition. I also listened to the sound without the db killer and I must say that it's not bad. need to see if there are problems to go this way for the law. the alternative at the same price was gpr arrow

Is there any benefits in torque (lower RPM) and horspower?

@darknessawaits 2 жыл бұрын

I think they claim to increase power with something of 4 HP. I did take it to get a tune up quite some time after but the data I got from that was always with this exhaust on. So no comparison unfortunately.
