New Zard Pipe for the 2500cc

Zard pipes are generally lookers, but they are traditionally also hyper-expensive. And more form than function - Zard is not exactly renowned for performance pipes. One might just as well wait and see what Akrapovič will bring to the table. It will undoubtedly be costly too, but it will offer both form AND function.

And let's not forget Zard's fellow Italians, Arrow Exhaust. Not exactly my favourite, but consistently probably the best-bang-for-the-buck in motorcycle exhausts.

Akrapovič and Arrow will almost certainly also offer full versions a bit later, featuring headers as well.
 
Drop the cat box. It’s 20lbs about!
 
I still think the boys did a great job on my exhaust retaining the stock look but getting rid of the cat and bigger outlet pipes...sounds the bees nut!!
I agree best option if you have the man to do it. Cost? Weight savings? Do you have. A db mic to measure at 3000rpm?
 
cost me $NZ1400....saved maybe 4kg in weight...dont have the means to do the decibel thing.
I haven't checked in a while and much too lazy to do it now but if you have an Iphone there are a few Apple Decibel download apps you can get for free or a few bucks. I might look and download one myself.
 
anyone already holding their Zard in hands or already mounted to the bike..?
 
shop around the corner is the Zard dealer he is expecting them in, any time now, he is going to call me when they come in and i get some pictures
