The SP stubby carbon cans on my mates ZZR1400 can wake the dead, so I'd say yes it will be quite loud !
Let us know what you think  |

Never heard of SP Engineering myself, but my GSX-R1000 has an Akrapovic titanium race system on it, it's a straight-pipe so it's just downpipes, endcan. The catalytic converter, old downpipes and endcans are in the garage in a box. !
Anyway, that thing is crazy loud even at idle, when you start picking up the revs it's silly, if I get to the limiter within a mile of my house my parents know I'm nearly home. !
What does it look like anyway? Picture would be nice.
Hope it sounds amazing mate, love the sound of IL4s. Put up a video. ! ____________________ "Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul."

Here's a pic of their cans here:

To my mind it seems to just be about noise for the sake of it. Quality looks ok, but at as good as Racefit.
@ Pauliington, the K2 doesn't have a cat anyway, and IIRC the full Akrapovic systems tend to noise test around 103dB at 6k rpm compared to a Racefit that manages 118 dB at the same rpm on a straight through system. ____________________ My Flickr |

Funny that, my ZX6R had a full Akrapovic system and it didn't sound all that loud but my Monster on the other hand with the full Arrow Race System sounded mental!!!
Back on topic all I've heard is good stuff about SP Engineering and yeah it will be loud! ____________________ Bikes : 2006 CBR125R - 2004 Monster 620ie - 2004 ZX-6R B1H - 2005 Monster S2R 800 - 2011 Street Triple - 2009 Streetfighter 1098 - 2014 ZX-6R 636
