That's pretty much the conclusion I came up with. No point moving the centre of gravity to one side and spend a grand doing it! Stock it will be.
GPR make an exhaust that fits in the standard location, power is probably more or less the same as standard, but it weighs 2kg, compared to 5.2kg for the standard exhaust, and it costs roughly around $600 to $700.
i'm planning on staying stock as well, after all my suspension/brake mods, i won't have any money left on the budget for a exhaust/tuner.
Well put, people think that by installing an aftermarket exhaust their single is going to sound like an I4, the exhaust can't change the base character of your engine. It can only slightly alter the volume and tone of what's already there.I don't think the Akra sounds lame... It's a 373cc single fercryinoutloud. It's not going to sound like a Ducati.
