I have no desire to spend $900+ on an axle back, but I would like bigger tips to fill up the space.

I've lusted after Akropovic products my entire adult life as they really started to come around when I was racing motorcycles. But thei prices have always just been stupid and seem to be getting worse as time goes on.
I guess I'll continue lusting because even when I'm worth millions I won't spend 300% the cost for 5% more performance, and that's what you get with Akro, if that.

You don't buy Akros or any catback for a Z06 for performance gains.....you buy it for it what is...a work of art in sound/design. You want the best...you have to pay for the best.

Fair enough.

I bought a SuperMotard KTM motorcycle in 2008 and Akro had a pipe available for it, it was $2900. For an $8K motorcycle with a single cylinder. I bought a full titanium FMF for less than $500 that was every bit as good. Ughh...

I bought a full Akra system for 2006 R1 back when I was in college....it was probably the best and worst financial decision I've ever made as a broke college student. But damn, it sounded and looked awesome.
