    Hi guys

    Dunno if this has been posted before as I'm new on here. Here's my dilemma
    I've got a brand new repsol blade my13 . I reckon the standard exhaust is a bit plain looking and also very quiet , even the post woman says " your bike is too quiet " the dilemma is what to get without voiding the warranty or having to take the thing back off if I take the bike for a service or warranty claim. Honda where I got it from will sell me a carbon aprapovic slip on for £970 fitted & re map, or a full system for £1150 including fitting and re map. These prices seem ridiculous . However they tell me if they do it it's ok for warranty etc, also does it need a re map with just a slip on ? They reckon it wouldn't run right without a re map. Anyway that's enough from me. P.s I need summat street legal db wise as well. Also the insurance wanna know if it's gunna add 5bhp or more. Prob to increase the premium

    Any thoughts guys ?

    I like the Carbon Akra on the Repsol, as you can tell, but also like the Racefit black and the Arrow above

    I have had the Akrapovic slip-on without CAT (about £650) and now have a full system (BSB headers and slip on carbon can), both perform excellently, sound great and fit well. I had the slip on fitted to both my 10 and the 13 blade from new by dealer with no warranty issues.

    Some dealers say 'Re-Map' when all they mean is a ecu reset, this is not a remap ! for that you need a Power Comander V or Bazzaz and dyno time to get the fueling spot on. Saying that many people run pipes with no PCV with no issues :)

    hope this helps

    I put an Akro Anniversary Edition on my 13 plate Blade which came with CAT and FLAP in link pipe, eBay brand new £599 delivered with no engine re-mapping needed.
    Looked great and sounded spot on.
    Akrapovi?

    Racefit black edition, or the new Austin Racing Jase has.

    Note the baffle cable tied in, just for when I'm cleaning the bike as the neighbours get emotional!

    Akrapovic is always a safe option mate. Sound looks and build quality are second to none.

    Like them all, some nice looking pipes there guys gotta admit the aprapovic carbon does look really well on the repsol. Maybe the cheapest option for an end can as I just want a nicer look and a little more noise . Not that bothered about more power etc the things fast enough as it is. Dunno if there are any more options
