- Hey folks, I went ahead and removed the DB killer on our stock double-barrel Akrapovics.
The DB killer is located at the entrance of the muffler and tacked in place by 6 spot welds. It was more of a pain to get it out than I originally thought, but I kept my patience and she eventually came out.
The sound difference isn't life changing, but it is definitely noticeable. It is deeper and has a louder growl. IMO, I think it's worth pulling out and seeing how you like it before going down the servo buddy path.
Cheers!
Took mine out last night after watching your video. Wow you were not kidding about being a pain. A dremel tool is your friend for sure. I do like the sound better. A little deeper like an Akrapovic should sound like. Still waiting for the headers to come out from Akrapovic. Had the full titanium exhaust (no cat) on my 2022 R1250GSA and it sounded great.
I chose the same wheels and tyres .. utterly delighted.
Yes sir! Like it💯
Great video. does it make any difference when riding? Sound, performance?
Did you measure the dB difference with vs without the dB killer? How many dB was it without? Is it still street legal over there? Thanks!
defo sounds more throaty with Db removed, good job - your bike looks fab too, mines isn't as clean, the roads in Scotland are a mess at the moment, but hey ho it they will get better...
Love the look of that style... Any thoughts on whether you think it would fit a 1250?

Akra was cool before having to conform to Euro regulations (all it used to take was a screwdriver and 30 seconds, tops, to remove the baffles...). Won't buy another Akra system after my experience with my R1250RS. Isn't much louder than factory, and doesn't meet factory dimensions, so my aftermarket luggage is incompatible (of course you can make the opposite argument there but we'll save that for another day). Akrapovic is a waste of money these days, to be honest.
You need exhaust servo eliminator
But I don't get it, why pay BMW for Akrap option and tamper with it if you can buy stock and aftermarket can, Akrap for e.g. with removable dB killer. Why to botter with factory option?
Db killers used to be just to remove with a bolt at the end. Uninstall in 10 seconds. Sad it's more of a job now.
Those wheels are bitchin' but it would be proper with a set of spoke hoops.
Desperately needs decat headers and a servo delete.
It still a bit soft….
SCProject> Akrap
Haha… No DB killer sounds great dude… But when you take that Servo off its gonna sound even better… Not like a straight pipe Harley Davidson annoying loud.. But a nice loud.
