Ive installed my new Akrapovic link pipe and slip on and I was wondering whether anyone knows whether there is a removal BD KIller / Baffle in the can and how to remove it? Thanks so much for your help  |

Thanks so much for your help If you're wondering about a baffle because the exhaust is still pretty quite, as far as I know that one does not have a baffle. (I have that exhaust) the cat is where all the noise reduction happens so the bike won't get any louder unless you get the link pipe (which I also have). If you do the link pipe you will hear a noticeable increase in volume. That slip on is just a straight pipe from the cat. |

Thanks for letting me know Taking a closer look at your picture I can see you do have the link pipe. Haha are you looking for more sound or less sound? For me the volume with the link pipe is just about perfect but I'm not too sure what you are looking for. |

For me the volume with the link pipe is just about perfect but I'm not too sure what you are looking for. My bike is stored in my house so I haven’t heard the sound in person (only on vids). I was just hoping there was an option to remove the baffle as I probably would have if I could. |

I don't believe the Akra comes with a baffle since it's supposed to be a slip-on, and the stock one is also straight-thru. But it's super easy to find out: just peak inside the can. If you can see everything inside without any reduction in diameter from the outlet pipe, there's no baffle. If you want more noise than that, there's something wrong with your hearing man  . It's going to be stupid loud. Give it a try and then report back here. I bet you'll be asking how to ADD a baffle after that. Ha ha. Good luck. |

Won’t come with baffles and once you have heard it you will be buying one, you can get a full end piece with baffle but you need to drill out the rivets or you can buy just the baffle on its own and run a drill through the inner skin. I like my bikes loud but it’s just a bit too obnoxious even for my likings

Thats why I went with the Leo Vince baffled pipe for my Scorpion RP1-GP. The baffle I purchased from Scorpion though was a joke! £39 or about $50 for this! I shit you not! The engineer I spoke to reckons it reduces it by around 1.5 - 2 db. I reckon they're full of shit!  |

I’ve confirmed that the slip on gas no baffle. Crap seeing the Akro isn’t cheap. I believe the full race system can has a baffle and had I don’t better research before buying and installing, I would’ve just bought the full race. It is what it is. I hope it sounds good in the spring.

Im looking for my Braap potential if need be. |

The volume of the stock bike is quite enough for me, would just like a "gruntier" sound. Does the Akra can make an noticeable difference by itself? |

I ran the slip on for about 1000 or so miles before the link pipe. If you are just looking for a slightly deeper sound with little to no volume increase, the slip on is perfect for that. |
