Modern Vespa

Im gettin a deal on the pipe. Less then $200. And I wanted to know if its worth it? New in the box. So, what do you think guys? What to expect as far as performance and sound?

Performance? Nothing, really.

Sound? Moderately louder...a LOT louder if you remove the baffles, I understand.

Me, I pull in and do a three point turn on my driveway between my house and my neighbor's to back into my garage, so being louder would be unfriendly.

the Ak and the Leo sound real close in loudness. I like the tone of the AK a bit better but thats me. No need to remove the baffles IMO.

What they said about sound. Forget performance. It is much lighter than stock and is way easier to take off for tire changes. That is a fucking awesome deal. If you don't take it tell me where I need to send the check. You know that they are over 500 dollars right?

Exactly what he said

Its a steal at 200 bucks

I have one and I love the sound. It has more of a deeper bass thump sound. Friend with a Leo was jealous. Bonus points for being easy to install as well.

They're all wrong you don't want this pipe. Send me the info so I can buy it though

and it looks so much cooler!

The AK is excellent .. just the right sound over standard , good results midrange and 1DB killer removed even better midrange .... one exhaust that does give power rather than take it away ........

Just install the pipe today. Its raining over here, but got to hear how its sounds. I also removed the db killers, as sugguested. WOW ! Damn, the thing sounds freakin sexy ! Cant wait to take a ride.

Your neighbors might not think it is so sexy though if it is too loud. I have not tried mine yet with the db killers removed so not sure how much louder it is but if it is very loud consider putting one or both back. As riders we all get lumped into the same category of public opinion I am afraid and we don't need more bad PR.

agree

nah a Leo with out a dB-killer is louder

But the Akra has a nicer sound

go with the akrapovic for sure no db insert is the only way

Just got to ride today. As far as neighbors, I dont have any. I live on a farm out here and my nearest neighbor is about a mile away and have nice long straight away. The pipe has a nice growl to it. When I pull up to a stop sign, there was chp, and when I pull away, he even did a double take. He caught up to me and gave me a thumbs up.
