Had the same issue with my S1000RR's euro 5 Arrow exhaust - luckily it was just two welds that needed cut, but man if it was as bad as yours I'd have probably given up - well done mate
@@AdamsTH-came it was frustrating as Fck Bro.. But in my head I was hearing voices “ never give up, never back down “ 😉😉 Thanks for watching and commenting Brother 🫡
I tend to follow the " loud exhaust saves lives" adage. At the very least I don't think it hurts safety wise. Will it help if you are screaming up on traffic its not doing much. Where it does is when you are at close speed to others around you. It announces you as in the proximity which can be helpful. Ive had multiple people change lanes into me with my stock MT-09SP exhaust. It hasn't happened yet after putting a Black Widow exhaust on it.
I was lucky mine had the bolt to remove…was still a royal pain to get the baffle out though, tight was not the word🥵 but it came out eventually and sounds better, headers to fit next before a ECU reflash😋
@@B-zzz well to be fair I know what I’m up to with that exhaust before buying.. like few comments under this video I agree it’s all because of eu emissions regulations 😉 thanks for watching and commenting anyway Bro 😎
Damn this is crazy...whyyyy Akrapovic why?! I am planning to get the CBR600RR for next season, I will definitely be getting the older version of the slip-on with bolted DB killer
Blame euro 5/6, SC project Arrow they all have to do it due to changes in the homologation for road use, best bet is to try and find an older made good nick exhaust on forums/ebay made before 2023, or get handy with the rivots and take your can apart
Igualmente si solo cambias la cola sigues llevando el catalizador de serie con los otros colectores no?? Sigue sonando regular 😢😢 tantas limitaciones este euro5plus, lo recomendable es cambiar el escape entero no? 2000€ 😮😅
Unfortunately yes.. still sounds average .. but I’ll try one more thing with that exhaust.. this is not my last words yet 😉 I’ll try make this exhaust louder | STAY TUNED 🔥
To be the devils advocate. I don’t think its fair to say “akrapovic sucks” because their exhaust follows the new emission laws which mean they’re forced to make the db killer non removable. This is not akrapovics decision. Any other exhaust brand that makes euro 5 exhausts for cbr 600 is gonna have the same issue. I think if you buy a “race exhaust” you wont have that issue but it also wont be advertised as streetlegal. Don’t buy a euro 5 compliant exhaust and then complain the db killer is welded to the muffler😂
@ ahaha fair. I just felt the statement “akrapovic sucks” was a bit of a overreaction. I would have been more on board with “Euro 5 laws fucking sucks” :)
yea... the EU is losing their minds, even try to meddle with racing like motoGP regarding its exausts situation. So in not so long even the "racing only" exausts are going to be restricted. At that point is going to be better to just get a welder and make your own. F1 already went through this, from screaming engines going full throttle to the boring sounds we have today and requiring to lift the throttle because a fuel consumption limit.
@@goldfish8196 well… I know I should… one reason why I didn’t go for that is because with full system ECU should be Flash.. there is no good place in Ireland doing that.. I know few riders done in garages ecu flash and engine blows up on them :/
@ you are right , I forgot about that "detail" . I'm glad you were able to find a way to remove the db killer- cannot wait to hear 👂. Thanks for the video
@@FreeRideFusion Keep them coming! Glad your part of my algorithm Ha! Planning to get a TOCE exhaust for the same reasons. Just need to figure out how to get it to the UK 😅
I’m really curious if any of you guys fighting with exhaust like I’ll that ? Or it’s just me be lucky as always here 😂
Fun fact: If you buy the evolution line that includes the downpipes, the final part has the dbkiller with a screw like the old good times
@@RaulH43 lucky you Bro ! 😁
Glad i could help and we actually got that BD killer out...looking forward to hearing it 😉
I don’t understand, I have a 2024 UK cbr600rr, got an akrapovic slip on, removed the screw and removed the baffle. It sounds sweet lol.

Best sounding exhausts on the market
@@millymoo6575 Hmmm… in my humble opinion SC Project sounds better… but unfortunately they didn’t make exhaust for 600rr
Yeah sc stuff is cool! I’m not even a massive akrapovic fan but when you fit one to a bike you can see why they cost £600-700 just for the slip on
@@FreeRideFusion they didn't make it...yet. It is coming. In EICMA there was a preview. Can't wait :D
@@MikeNicoli fck… if SC make exhaust for 600rr then I’ll sell my Akra for sure 🫡

@@MrFrost650 do that Bro ! It’s exact same exhaust and fitting since 2008 Cbr 600rr 🫡 but so much less hassle to take that db killer out ..
Just get the slip on from an earlier model, my 2013 has the bolt.

Spot/seam welding. Absolutely butchered a fine exhaust. Easier ways to skin an Akra
Usually its just spot welded.
@@humannature3916 in this case welding somehow spread out nearly all around..
