Hearing is believing? Check out the install and sound comparison of the stock exhaust on the ktmtwins.com KTM 790 Adventure R vs the Akrapovic system. Which would you choose?

The stock exhaust sounds great.
@Boudi-xy9by2 жыл бұрын
The stock exhaust doesn’t sound great, it is to sharp, and you hear manly the engine sound and the ticking of the valves. The Akrapovic Exhaust gives a dealer grounch but is not that much louder, but still sounds way better, but is to expensive, and furthermore if you tip over, there is no corner protection as on the stock exhaust, which is mighty handy (I experienced it myself, $100,- repairs versus an new AKRO-Slipon). That is a big disadvantage from that very expensive Akro-slip-on. I maybe if you take the BD-Killer out on the stock exhaust for a better sound, but that’s quite an operation, but still better because of the better protection … if you tip-over the bike, or even worse slide it over a grave road.

Couldn’t hear a difference at all and I’m pretty sure there are no power gains with that setup. You did a great job with making the video, it’s just that the title and contents of the video are very misleading.

Hey GDude, I have the Akra on my 790R and the heat from the stock cat is intense! I saw in comments below you were going to decat? Any updates on your performance/sound with this setup? Did you have to remap engine, does it run lean and did the gas mileage change? Also which decat did you use? Thanks, Mark

Hi Man, I put one on but also replaced the mid-pipe with an Arrow KTM 790 Adventure - Racing Mid Pipe from Rottweiler performance. Sounds great after that and runs better. Mine actually ran worse (Noticeably Richer) with the Akra and the standard catalytic converter. Also solves the intense heat issues. Also relatively cheap to do, no mapping required according to the KTM dealer I use

@@GeoffBarnard Hi, Geoff, agreed I also doubted it run a bit worse with Akra slip-on =( ... good to replace the mid-pipe I think it will improve the performance a bit. But if I can choose again, I definitely go for SC project =PPP

@@mandaikoh yep I originally was going to go with the SC project but as it was an insurance claim couldn't make that work, happy with the combo now though. A deep rich throaty sound without being excessively loud, just about perfect for noise volume

JUSTIN JOHNSON Usually with Akra there is a bolt or a single spot weld. Get rid of that then use some pliers to wiggle it loose. Or grip it then tap the grips with a hammer.

Oli King so there is no bolt ???? So where’s the weld spot? How was yours that you did? Don’t see where any of these for this model have the bolt under rubber nub? So you grabed your with vice grips then beat it out backwards with hammer??? 🤷♂️

Thanks for sharing. Absolutely no point in upgrading to akrapovic... only 2 lbs on weight lose, sound simillar to stock one. When riding offroad ist much better to be quiet than louder one (without decat)... Save yours 800€ for something else...
@Boudi-xy9by2 жыл бұрын
A agree that riding off-road in nature ... you don't need noisy exhaust. But one advantage is that if you scratch your exhaust during a fall, there is a repair-kit from Akrapovic for about $ 250,- so you don't have to replace the whole exhaust, like you had to if you have a original exhaust, that saves about 50%.

what did you smoke, the akrapovic has definitely a deeper sound, and doesn't sound that sharp as the stock, and an other advantage is that there is a little bit more torque, but the bike needs electronics anyway to keep the traction off-road to a usable amount.
