Hey Capt Moto - arrived this morning & now fitted & road tested!!!

The good:
Nice & shiny
Great noise!!!
Much lighter than stock
Throttle response seems a little quicker (maybe subjective....)
Excellent ordering process, service & communication
Good packaging
Weld quality & general workmanship to a VERY high standard, including pucker laser-cut stainless brackets which I particularly like - this is seriously good VFM!!

The not quite so good:
Sadly one of the clamps holding the link pipe to the can was missing. I called MTC straight away & they said they'll put one in the post. Fingers crossed I'll get it tomorrow. Meantime, I have used a jubilee clip....
No instructions!!!! Luckily there's not much to work out, but getting the clamps in the right position & some sort of recommended sequence of work would be nice....

Finally, weird smell of burning, which I'm guessing is the residue of the manufacturing process burning off.

So, after a half hour ride, I can confirm that these cans turn heads & look the business. The end cans are warm to the touch, but beware: the link pipes get VERY hot!!!

Thanks again Capt Moto!

I may be placing an order very shortly for a set of these :)

Go for it!!
You won't be disappointed, although your neighbours may be if you have a very early commute.....

The only other minor gripe: get some washers to go with the 4 securing bolts. None were supplied, but I hate fixing bolts/fasteners direct to metal without at least a flat washer.

That is going to be an issue as I leave sometimes at 5.45am for work. Other times I don't come home until the back of 4 in the morning.

Anyhow...where's your pics??? We like pics ;)

Well thanks to Paul at MTC, replacement clamp arrived this morning! I did some more fine adjustments to get everything looking (reasonably) symmetrical - pretty hard for a ham-fisted middle age git I can tell you!!
Anyway, without further ado, photos!! (& apologies for the 'photo-shopped' number plate.....):

Hi tzox,
Ref: removing the baffles for the XT660Z Akrapovic exhaust.
Once you've removed the allen screws I normally use a 'Leatherman' or pliers to help with pulling it out... hope this helps :-)

Akra db removal.
 

The best way to remove the db killers on Akras ,once you remove the allen bolts, remove the can from the bike and push a brush shaft up the inside till it makes contact with the rear of the baffle. Then a couple of sharp taps will release the baffle, with out doing any damage. I have learned the hard way that pulling on your Ti with pliers etc WILL cause damage. Good luck.
