Any one got the above fitted?
I keep seeing them popping up on eBay and tempted.

What do you think of it? Worth the notes? Much more noise in the system?
I like the look a lot more than stock. Less cluttered.
I like the sound but it is definitely louder than stock. If you're looking for stealth this won't be the system for you.

My ATAS arrives in a few weeks and waiting for RuggedRoads to come back to me on sourcing the Akra Racing Line full system that you have @Irish . Did I read correct that you didn’t use a RapidBike Evo or any tuning post install?

Correct. So far I have run without tuning (as some others have) and everything seems fine. If I was going to mod intake with less restrictive filters I'd probably spring for a tuner up front.
I was hoping we would get more options for AT tuning, a simple re-flash would be top of my wishlist.

I know this is an older post but i am curious. Did any codes/ lights appear when changing out the entire exaust system?

No.
I thought codes would show up if the full exaust is changed out. Others also recommend a tune. Thank you for answering my question.

You may get a code if you remove the servo, I left it in place.

Did you notice a power increase?
I don't believe so, but I installed it before I even had 200 miles on the bike.
The look of the stock exhaust really bugged me and really detracted from the "visual enjoyment" of the bike. That alone was worth the price of admission for me.

Ah ok. Thanks!
Ol Red is running a MIVV header and titanium can. There is a slight performance increase (3-4%) and a noticeable sound change compared to stock. Other riders have enjoyed the sound this MIVV system puts out. To really take advantage of the new exhaust you need to incorporate a fuel system booster to move from Stage 0 (stock) to Stage X (whatever you have added to the system). Ol Red runs a fuel system modifier that when set to Stage 1, makes the best use of the MIVV system.

See the details here: Ol Red!
I have the Akropovic slip on for my 2018 ATAS...really opened the bike up especially top end. I am considering the header, however only negative I have heard is that they are super hot on your right foot....and required wrapping in exhaust cloth to mitigate the heat.
