I run a Muzzy, but you need to check that new Micron serpent out, its badass.....and much cheaper than the Akro

You won't be sorry with a full AKRA system. I've had mine for two years, and haven't yet seen one I'd swap it for...

Ninja...if you do a serch on this board of that topic, you will find that there have been many discussions on exhausts. I sugest that you search and read....there is a lot of knowledge and expierence represented here on this board...there are guys that use there bike for a wide varity of hobbis, and an equal variety of opinions on which the best systems are....then you need to figure out what material you want it made from....then where to buy it from....lol as you can see it is a highly debateable subject.....

I have a Micron Full Exhaust system for sale. It includes the canister (rainbow color), and a powercommander 3. I'll let it all go for 825.00 plus shipping. The package retails for around 1,200.00 I think. Hit me on email if your interested craigb29@hotmail.com

Stock is the best it is so cool, Only because that is what I can afford and it helps with stealthyness(is that a word?) Seriously can you guys really feel a big power diff on the street every day with an aftermarket system? Don't get me wrong they sound so sweet and get rid of a bit more heat I'm sure. Oh well then, be easy on me.......

aint nothing wrong with stock JOsh.....was running with everyone here on the 1/8th mile with a completely stock 12....only the stretched bikes that were a liter or more would beat me bad...anything on a stock wheel base I was running with. But there arent a lot of big bore bikes around here, and most of them are buddies bikes, so we ride together alot, or use to anyway...they are all getting old and dont ride much anymore...

What if you keep the stock computer, like no powercommander? What did you do jonwright? I'd like to know who has a pipe with stock programming, I really don't want to lose drivability, It runs pretty good right now, I would hate to lose that.

What I noted with the PC3r unplugged was more of the fuel curve being all over the place. We did not lose gobs of power (avg 2-4hp loss below peak). My '03 has stock engine and makes 168 hp on DJ150 with pump gas That's with Muzzy exhaust, PC3r/Muzzy Map, BMC filters. Unplugging the PC3r, it makes 167 peak, but the graph has lots of dips because of fuel delivery. But I would say the PC is mandetory on a modified engine. You simply need to be able to adjust fuel curves and ignition timing. On a stocker, not so much. But there are still benefits. I highly recommend the PC with any full exhaust change. If you buy just a bolt-on, then I'd save my money.

All bikes are different (even 12R's vary). I went with a full system. Mine has a big flat spot between 2.5k and 3k rpm. Twist the grip all you want and it doesn't accelerate linerally. But once it hits 3k it's back where it should be.
My Powercommander has helped that, but I'll still need a custom map to straighten it out.
I would suggest you get whatever pipe you want and try it stock. I know several guys who have done that and it's fine for them.
If you have a stumble or flat spot you wish to get rid of as well as to ensure smooth power delivery, then buy a PC - but if you do get a PC go ahead and get a custom map as well.
