  • In this video, I take you through the process of swapping out the stock exhaust on my 2022 BMW R1250GS for an upgraded Akrapovic version. But here's the twist - I provide you with exclusive before and after exhaust sounds, not just during a cold start but also while riding through different gears. Experience the transformation like never before!
    🔊 Key Highlights:
    Detailed installation process.
    Cold start sound comparison.
    Riding sound comparison through gears. No other video on UA-cam provides such an in-depth sound comparison. Don't forget to wear headphones for the best experience!

    Unpopular opinion here. I prefer the stock exhaust. The Akra is more of a hum while the stock exhaust has more rasp or character IMO. The Akra definitely looks better. But the stock exhaust is not ugly. It definitely looks better than the stock exhaust on my RT lol

      @@FLYANDRIDE15 I love my RT. It is the only bike I’ve had so far that I would regret unloading. It does everything extremely well. It is also very well equipped for 2-up riding. I don’t have to fiddle with suspension like my RG and I have no problems passing people uphill in elevation.
      I am currently in the process of working a trade going from my 2022 RG ST to a used 2022 GS Triple Black with 571 miles. I see you have a SG as well. My lady is upset with me because she will miss the sound and cool factor of the RG, although she is more comfortable on the RT.
      My intent is to use the GS during the warmer months but I have a feeling that I will really get a lot of use out of it.

      @@keithchelini5776 awesome. Thx for the details. Here’s what I will say. The minute your lady rides pillion on the GS she will be forever thankful and never want to go back. My wife loves the GS and prefers it over my CVO, even with my upgraded Wilbur suspension. Just no comparison!

    I think it alters the tone at idle and low rpm some but at 4K+ they sound pretty close to stock. There's no denying the better looks, lower weight and slight performance bump but sadly the sound isn't much of a change.

    • @FLYANDRIDE15

      I think the difference is very noticeable but maybe I just forgot what stock sounds like.

    I bought that Akrapovic for my R1250gs 2023 but the exhaust sounds louder than the Akrapovic that sells Bmw. Does the same thing happen to you? Thanks

    I did the same on my BMW RS. Sound change was minimal. However it looks a lot better. I ordered titanium headers to get rid of the CAT and also a tune for the bike from BT-Moto. I also did sound tests after installing the Akrapovic slip on. Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/jBSlHV0P7CQ/v-deo.htmlsi=WqE90kvTEn9L0Mtx
