Bike is not mine but that is where I got the picture from. I am keeping my eye on the market at the moment. Just having commitment issues especially as there is a 58 plate Blue XTX 8 miles away.... �3500 for a "toy" is too much. I want a bike but dont wanna spend that much.

take a shot, send to akro, they send you a new set (which is also a new series) and take the old one's back, no charge

I did it and was extremely happy with the service, and I explained to akro I bought the bike with these pipes on and the crack was there, they still replaced.. awesome service and awesome sound

Just wondering did you send your broken pipes to the factory in Slovenia, or just to your local distributor? Also do you remember what email address you used? I have tried info@akrapovic.com, from their website. But message keeps coming backto sender. Also tried info@akrapovic.si, although this seems to have worked, I can`t really be sure it has reached the right people. Any help appreciated. Cheers .:tazdevil:

WOW!!! I can hardly believe it. Today I just received a brand new set of cans from Akrapovic. I sent some photos of the old cracked weld, and a very polite email. That was five weeks ago and I had pretty much given up, as I had explained that the cans were on the bike when I bought it second hand.
Three days ago I got a nice email from a Mr Brian Passmore of Performance Parts Ltd in Warwickshire England asking for my address because he was sending me a new Akrapovic muffler kit. Today they arrived safely. Sweet or what? They didn`t even want the old kit returned. :WellDone_OROQR1::thumbsup[1]::YouRock:
Just like to say a BIG BIG THANKS to the staff at Akrapovic and to Brian from Performance Parts Ltd.
