Default Akrapovic Exhaust

Anyone running one of these systems on their Fatboy Lo or any Softail for that matter. Been looking into them lately and all I hear is that they are very well made. I searched it out but nobody seems to actually have one on a Harley only sport bikes.

This exhaust looks badass. I found a few videos on youtube of this pipe. I didn't like the way they were popping and throwing flames.

I like the look although I'm not crazy about the big slash cut, but I could live with it. As far as price it's around the same as D&D and the other name brands.

My neighbor has one on his XR200X. It is a really good looking system. His is more of a raw metal look, not black or chrome. His exhaust really gives a great sound to that Sporty.

Is that the only style they make for HD? I think they also make exhausts for BMW bikes.
