Brocks Smeg
From what you guys have told me Brocks Smeg is the way to go. I noticed from pictures that the smeg pipe ends under the passengers foot peg. Does this create a heat problem for the passenger?

If you mean the short meg,or alien''the answer is yes there is some heat back at the rear peg. The std street meg doesn't have this issue. My riding does not include two up'' so not a concern. I prefer the std s-meg anyway, I make the best torque with this pipe then any of the short s-megs. I hope this is some help...... Bill..

How does the street meg compare to the Akrapovic full exhaust in terms of hp and torque?

Hurricane- the Smeg's exit opening is way past the passenger's foot peg! My girl has worn heels a few times and she doesn't feel any discomfort or heat. However if you look at the Alien head, the passenger's toes are right there at the opening.... I like the look of the shorter pipe but when I looking to change my staock exhaust, I chose the longer Smeg just for the passenger.

That might be because I haven't seen 1..........not 1 picture of an Akrapovic on a forum member's bike (14) EVER! They did take there time bringing out the pipe...........
I bet it makes real good power though.................. 
Does anyone know ANYONE on this site that has one?

why would i buy a bike then wait for over 2 years for some over rated namebrand to finally come out with something for my bike. akrapovic was asleep at the wheel when the 14 came out. generally speaking they are a road race pipe not a drag pipe, although i'm sure they are ok if ya got one yawn

Akrapovic's are AWESOME PIPES!!!! I have one on my ZX10 and wouldnt change it for anything. but I dont think it is made for dragracing it is not an apples and apples comparison between the Akro and the Brock or the Muzzy. I think part of the appeal of the Akro pipe is that so very few people have one. That and if you have never taken a real close look at an Akro pipe they are BEAUTIFULL

I bet that if we saw smokin or bm on a 14 with an akro it would run that fast... and on another note.

Just don't tell her that and she'll stay that way. She can turn into an E real quick lol

My wife has never complained about heat from the SMEG, she does have a tendency to dig her nails into my ribs when I break 130 or lean a little too much for her comfort zone.
