Without baffles, it's at least twice as loud as the Akrapovic.
The sound of shred's bike is like the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse riding across the sky. I dig it.
I guarantee you, you'd be whining, "it's too loud".
To describe an Akra system as a "backyard fabrication" is stunningly off base.
The construction, welds and general fit and finish are noticeably superior to the HPE. Akra's welds, hydro-formed tubing, are all state of the art in exhaust design.
The Akra carbon end cap vs. the HPE carbon valence is a perfect example. One fits perfectly and is an integral part of the system, one is a garnish that shred had to modify to fit correctly.
For the HPE, overall appearance is clean and sound is LOUD.
The Akra construction/fit/finish is first rate, the mid-range power boost the best, and, to each his own, I like the integrated look of the muffler.

Backyard fabrication? Simply ridiculous............
