UK Noise Limits With An Akra Full System

[CJC]

Hi,

I'm considering upgrading my K67 to a full Akra (stainless headers, titanium can) system, but am concerned that the increased noise levels may mean that the bike doesn't pass noise testing in the UK.

Regardless of what the vendors of these systems say, I was wondering whether the forum members have any practical experience on this for "normal" UK trackdays?

1) If you have one of these systems, does your bike typically pass noise testing without a baffle, or does it need a baffle in to get through?
2) If you use a baffle, how much does this restrict performance? Do you still get more than with a stock exhaust?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide....

Static, passes with and sometimes without a baffle.
Ride By, fails without a baffle...and sometimes with.
