Where to buy Akrapovic slip on cans

[Ashbone]

Just as the title says where is the most reasonable place to purchase the Akrapovic exhaust for the FZ6?

Tried E Bay but with the lousy dollar it makes more sense to purchase here in Canada now, maybe Alberta and save a tax or will I get screwed because it would be posted to BC?

Any or all help welcome as I want these for the Spring.

Thanks everyone.....:rockon:

I've been drooling over an eBay listing for $680. I thought it said they shipped int'l. Might be worth looking into.

You dont have the link to the listing do you so I can take a look?

Dennis kirk or pipe city is your best deal

 

[Ashbone]

Thanks but no International postage

 

[Ashbone]

Just e mailed both companies for shipping costs but the pipes are still a lot of money because of the conversion rate US to CDN, does any one know if they can be bought in Canada?

I am not sure if this is the same one, but

It says that they do ship internationally

Have you seen this one?

Yep seen that one, I have it in my watched file on E Bay, the $670 set are the cheapest so far brings the price out to around $850 CDN plus shipping if they will, I have e mailed them just in case.

Dennis Kirk will supply and ship for around $800 US approx $1000 CDN but then we have the tax on top of that as well.

I still would prefer to find a location in Canada if possible, I am still looking, anyone have a second hand set for sale I could be interested!!

I bought mine through Cycle Gear. You'll just need to call them and ask the specifics of the transaction.

 

[Ashbone]

I will give them a call and see what happens, thanks.

 

[Ashbone]

Ok Cycle Gear prices for the TBs as they dont do Akropovic as follows, Aluminum $719.99, Carbon $899.99 and the Titanium $899.99 all US plus $25.00 shipping.

Still a bit pricey when you do the conversion, I will still try and get down to around $600 US if I can.

have you looked a scorpion?

 

[Ashbone]

Not really, I want to keep the noise down to street legal and for long rides, not sure how the Scorps sound or whether they give you a headache or not.

I keep reading threads on exhaust systems but I am no expert but it just seemed the Akros fitted my need.

TBs from what I can gather are the loudest with a more "race" tone.

 

[Mississippi]

I have the scorpions, and they are pretty tame under 6000 rpm, then they open up until about 9000rpm, then it is just loud period with the motor and exhaust. I like them a lot. My friends that ride with me say that they are not bad at all until I get on it pretty good. I do not have db killers, so I cannot comment on them.

 

[Mississippi]

Heck, if you do not like them, you could always sale them later.

 

[Ashbone]

True...It would be nice to hear a few types beforehand but it's kinda tricky at the moment as we have 2 feet of snow and no chance of getting my bike out for at least another 5 weeks, I would really like the pipes on by then.

Thanks
