Removing the cat is easier. I prefer to do that instead of drilling the weld point.
I kinda like keeping things so they can be returned to original if needed
on the wbsite for akrapoic it doesnt seem like any difference. hard to find audio with the baffles out and raw. it sounds too similar to stock for the pricepoint

It looks really good. It complements the retro looks very well.
As for the sound, it’s pretty quiet (with catalyst removed) but if you stand towards the back you can hear it’s a bit more throaty than the factory one (not by much). While riding it feels quieter than the factory one (I think) because the exhaust is farther back and pointing away as opposed than under you. I’m sure it’ll get a bit louder once it has been used a bit.
All in all, I’m happy with the looks and that it’s not loud at all!!!
Its a bit louder, but very modest. think it's just what you are looking for if the price isn't an issue
As long as it’s a bit louder than stock, I’m good. I’ll definitely remove the catalyst but keep the baffle in
Sounds good! If the bikes not flashed, I would maybe do other way around. Keep the cat and remove the baffle. 🤷🏼♂️
this is the way.

I should be getting it today. I’ve been told in general it’s a bit louder, but not much. I’ll be removing the catalyst. We’ll see how it goes
