    Not if its imported. The ktm svc gets IXIL exhaust for a whopping 24k. Akrapovic is not a stock pipe. A stock pipe for ktm should be about 15-18k INR.

      KTM officially only approves KTM Akrapovic slip-on silencer - Exhaust - KTM PowerParts

      because it is mapped not another brands and makes because they are doggy

        Not IXIL. Granted IXILL is not mapped but it is approved and shipped on demand by ktm. In any case I don't favour anything but stock but among after market brands I'd pay for akrapovic with my eyes closed.

          Cool down mate! Congrats for the exhaust but you must learn to take on a light hearted banter in a friendly way.

              Oh no they are not official exhausts. The dealers do offer them. But since its ktm dealers I thought they would not supply sub-standard parts.

                [MENTION=73379]Nikhil Deshpande[/MENTION] : Congrats man! How did you get it to India btw? They dont sell it officially here.

                And guys, yes it costs around 75k incl customs and stuff. It is that expensive It would be great if you could provide a break up of how much the actual cost was & the customs etc.

                  Akra is kTM OEM part, are other exhaust the same?if not why do dealers offer them


                  Why is tuned engine mapping important
                  Your stock ECU is calibrated to suit your unmodified engine and as soon as you make any changes that improve airflow through your engine, the factory tuning may not be accurate. If you are considering basic bolt-on modifications such as an exhaust and air filter then your bike will still run but your tune may no longer be correct. In this case it is worth having your tune checked on our dyno to make sure it is safe.
                  At best you will not be getting the most out of your engine and at worst you may be causing expensive damage.

                    Well that's news to me!
                    Any idea where these authorized dealers are located ? Most of the stores selling Metzlers outside are generally on the pricier side.

                      So you got the arka, did you get the ecu remapped too ?
                      regarding metzelers, i see a few online sites selling them.Buy Car Tyres, Bike Tyres, Alloy Wheels with Mobile Tyre Fitting :: TyreOnWheels.com
                      ChangeMyTyre - Buy Car Tyres, Motorcycle Tyres, Alloy Wheels & Car Accessories
                      etc.. etc.. even snapdeal has a few listed but currently out of stock

                        Its just a slip on silencer- nothing needs to be done- it already Includes specially tuned engine mapping

                            So what is the benefit of having just a slip on??

                              5hp power increase. More torque and better sound.

                                No offense, but imo just a slipon wont give any bump. I hope you have gone through threads here regarding these.
                                As far as sound is concerned, yes that will definately change.
