Akrapovic has always been a natural choice for bike enthusiasts when it comes to exhaust upgrades- sans the higher entry cost compared to other brands in the market. The titanium setup as utilised in model no. SS-K6S05-TT for Kawasaki Ninja 650R (2009 - 2010) used to retail at RM3,000, then RM2,800 before stabilizing for a long while at RM1,800.
But guess what, with the big market for Kawasaki's 650 cc twin-parallel engine utilised by its ER6, Ninja 650R and Versys 650, prices of the Akrapovic has also reduced of late- and you can now get a set of this pedigree can for a mere RM1,500.
That's half price compared to its selling price just a couple of years back!
Looks like the originally-planned Ixil hyperflow (RM1,350) for my Green Hornet, will be replaced by Akrapovic Titanium (RM1,500) now.
Keep your eyes posted here for the latest review upon the can's installation shortly!
- Exhaust Type - Titanium
Code: SS-K6S05-TT - Our sporty and lightweight SLIP-ON systems offer a great balance between price and performance and represent the first step in the exhaust system tuning process.
The muffler outer sleeve is made of titanium, which gives a special hi-tech touch to our SLIP-ON SP Series system and reduces overall weight by 4.51 kg as it is not street legal and dedicated for racing oriented riders.
- PERFORMANCE
Measurements of the Akrapovic SLIP-ON OPEN system on the KAWASAKI ER-6N (without muffler insert):
Power & Torque: the exhaust system modification with the SLIP-ON system results in a major boost in performance, delivering a usable 72.3 HP at 8900 rpm on back wheel. But the increased power isn't available just at the top of the range; the system shows its quality already from 2000 rpm up through entire rpm range. The maximum power in-crease between the Akrapovic and the stock system is 5.2 HP at 5280 rpm. Additionally, the torque is substantially higher in the lower rpm area at 3000 rpm and in the middle of rpm area.
Man, should have read your post on the Akra sooner! Got mine 2 weeks ago and it costed RM2,800 with installation. It's a good setup though, am sure that you'd like it!
