    • I saw the hotbodies exhaust, as Rossiter says; it's just a metal cone cut to that shape. But lemme say this; it looks awesome and I'm quite sure it will sound wild. Don't know about the technical stuff but I wonder how will the back pressure be created?

      Ok let me elaborate what others brought up here and I have mentioned before. Regarding the loss in mid/low range torque; any after market performance free flowing (most are) exhaust will alter the fueling requirements. If your kwacker doesn't have a self adjusting ECU you will need a PCIII or similar or a direct ecu map if your ecu allows it (like Triumph).

      However, you are not going to race and this loss of low end grunt may probably not even be noticeable. Since the megaphone is just 140 dollars I would certainly buy it; it certainly looks and sounds wicked and if you don't like it you can always throw it away.

      • streetfighter thanx for ur input there i was reading the akro site . they dont claim any loss in torque etc. and most people mentioned that its hardly noticeable. plus im not gonna race so im taking it light. the megaphone exhaust reminds me of the dalda dabba cans we get in the grey markets. so i think ill save a bit and get myself akro or a 2brothers. looks like it will be 2 brothers

          They're not going to say on their site that put our exhausts and lose power .

          For informative (1st hand) suggestions you need to ask around on kwacker or ninja forums. They are all a friendly bunch of blokes.

                      • @busalover i gave my bike yesterday at 1050kms first srvice. it is not advisable to use fully synthetic oil till i guess 2500kms or so. so be careful man. this service ill use regular oil and then change from next time onwards

                        @blade dude i havent ordered it . my friend is going to dubai in a few days. ill get it from him . i got the cheapest one man no budget the chrome finish . but ha as long as it sounds good im down with it

                          Dude,

                          After much discussion it was recommended to put in fully synthetic oil so as to protect the engine from mineral oil is why I went with it to make sure is that my bike is looked after real good yeah.
