What's the minimum wage in Australia? Just trying to get a bearing on what the average income would be in the land of OZ. In the States, minimum wage is $7.25...most of the states. I was griping a couple years ago when the dollar dropped causing Akrapovic to jack up their prices. Paid $2,200 for a full Evo on my R1 before the price hike. Damn near 20% cost of the bike.

 

Any more video of this exhaust? I'd like to hear it at wot.

 

video will never give you back the true sound and feeling, i personally believe there is no way anyone can judge an exhaust from video. For me never sounded a same .
Look yes , sound no.

 

minimum wage would be $15-$16 for anyone above 21 years old , fresh graduates get $40,000 to $55,000 per year

 

I could put up a video of WOT if it ever dries up around here. It sounds amazing though.

I agree with Robevo, the tone can't really be captured by a camera. Will try and get one this weekend, both of inside and maybe a drive-by if I can find a friend that's not busy.

 

good to have a view of other countries economy and not through the Fox and CNN MSNBC etc BS stories /all the same/.
Funny since i live here , is like no other counties exist , and even then ,they barely made it day by day according to any us media... LOL

 

Have to chime in on how great Akrapovic exhausts are for two wheeled toys. I own a full Akrapovic Ti system on my Aprilia RSV4 Factory, which set me back 2k (included the custom map for my ECU).

I was quoted the following prices for the Evo X bits (in USD, obviously) from one of their official distributors:

$3399.00 -> Exhaust
$670.00 -> Your choice of Ti or Carbon exhaust tips
$500.00 -> Down-pipe

If you want the HFC, you can get that too for the paltry sum of $1300.00 USD.

Kind-a-pricey, but worth it if the quality is as top notch as their Aprilia exhausts.

 

I'm thinking of buying it... Hopefuly I can try and grab a deal on it, considering that the factory is about 1 mile away from me...

 

You must be the lucky one

 

Sick exhaust, way too expensive though.

 

LoL, so $5,869.00 for the exhaust system w/highflow cat and that's worth it!? Wow.

 

Didn't say I was going to buy the HFC. If you YOU want to buy it YOU can. And, no, I did not get one for my 2010 Aprilia either.

 

Holy crap. It sounds really deep, I like that. (could be the camera lying). But the price tag is just...difficult to get over.

Looks amazing too. Grats to anyone who buys one

 

Does anyone know the weight of this system compared to the stock Evos exhaust weight? It would be nice to see some numbers on that as well.


Edit:
Quoted form the Akrapavic Web site "Going to the other end of our available options, the Evolution system with the optional down pipe produces over 31 horsepower more than stock, while at the same time reducing weight by an amazing 16 kg" Which is 35.27 and that is a decent drop in weight but the Slip on muffler assembly alone is only a reduction 5kg or 11.02lbs, which if you are going for weight its not that much lighter.

 

Even without the HFC, the only way it's "worth it" is if all you care about is the akrapovic name. It doesn't produce thousands of dollars worth more power quality compared to other exhausts available...

I can build my block and have money left over with the savings of getting a "normal" exhaust...
