Best Header for AKRO ?
What is the Best Header for a full AKRO system ?
1) Akro EVO
2) Akro Race
3) Akro Sport
I'm currently making 212 rwhp on my 1361 running their stainless header, and have read that their full ti systems yield more midrange w/o hurting the top end.
Thanks,

Have you tried any other headers? Akras are too small for "bigger motors" than stock.
Quite a few have ditched Akras in favor of Muzzys and Hindles and picked up good mph and hp!

I've looked @ Muzzy's full-ti system, but my akro has beat every muzzy system it's come up against in dyno shootouts, so I don't know what to think ?

The Evo is full Ti but I dont think the tube diameters are any different.

No, does he have to offer, and how would I get a hold of him?

Mega.. not for nothing... but the dyno dont mean shit. 5 hp between 2 systems might show on the dyno... but when you run them side by side on the street or track.. its a completely different story. In this case.. bigger is better.
And the bikes you're beating...are assembled just like yours?
I believe Entrophy has some good info on why he switched to the Brock Hindle.

I know what you mean, but I kind of like my trophies. Before the big bore my akro never lost a dyno shoot out. I was running a PCiiir full akro & bmc race filters. The only shoot out I lost was against a 284 hp turbo busa.

I've got an early (June 00') Evo & it rocks. Haven't tried anything different so couldn't tell you what (if any) differences. I think the headpipes are stainless not Ti (maybe cuz it's an early pipe?) I can take a pic if anyone wants...

Enjoy the ride!
