Review: Akrapovic Conical Slip-On (Titanium)

So, for those of you who know me, you would know that my Akrapovic slip-on was stolen recently. I sincerely hope that the thief dies a horrible death. These may be harsh words. But trust me, if one day, after a long tiring day at work, you walk to your motorcycle. Bearing high hopes that the ride home will bring a smile to your face, but only to find your muffler stolen, the words that form in your mind won't be polite at all heh.

Well that's that.

Now to the focus of this post. I installed the original muffler onto my bike, never realized that it sounded so lame. The exhaust note was just not pleasing at all. So, immediately the next day, I dropped by HKL to get a new Akrapovic slip-on. I am officially an Akrapovic fan. I asked for the same slip-on that I lost, but the mechanic recommended me this; the Akrapovic Conical Slip-On (Titanium).

The mechanic said that this was a newer model and the power delivery is better because of the conical shape. You can see more details at Akrapovic's official website.

I had to wait for a few hours before the courier could deliver the slip-on to the workshop. In the meantime, I installed a motorcycle alarm. I'll talk about the alarm in my next post.

Finally, the courier arrived.

The slip-on.

The muffler clamp and a bottle of liquid sealant for the screws.

The installation was very fast, it probably took less than 5 minutes.

It sounds pretty much the same as my previous exhaust, but hey, you can tell it's the sound of an Akrapovic. That's good enough for me haha.

The slip-on was priced at SGD$1270. If I remember correctly, that was around the same price I paid for my previous one. No complaints from me.

I suppose the key takeaways from this story are:

1. Akrapovic rocks

2. Install a motorcycle alarm

The next few days are going to be pretty exciting because I'll be publishing a couple of new posts, and also launch the Riding Bible YouTube Channel by uploading some street and track riding videos. But, you can of course subscribe first.

Thank you for the support so far. Ride safe!
