I finally decided to upgrade my stock muffler with an Akoprovic exhaust.
I patently waited for 2-1/2 months to take delivery. I could’ve ordered from the USA but at greater expense….import tariffs into Canada.
Installation took all of 10 minutes. The most difficult part was the installation of the carbon fibre deflector. I didn’t want to scratch or crack it while tightening the 3 torx screws. A lower range torque wrench is required (16 ft pounds) for the muffler mounting bolts.
Exhaust note is definitely different. A deeper sound & a bit louder….I like it. Unfortunately I’ve been super busy and haven’t had an opportunity to ride the bike to see if there’s a difference in performance.
I have not decided to remove the DB killer yet. Removing it will void the warranty. The DB killer is pressed in and held securely with little bumps which mate up.
I did reach out to a YouTuber who has removed the DB killer to ask how he removed it……asked me to contact Akoprovic directly. It wasn’t the answer I was expecting. Removing the DB killer does make the exhaust substantially louder and throatier.
Hoping to take my C400GT for a ride this coming Sunday. Stay tune for my performance comments.
