I do think that we need to make comparison of different system on same bike - that maybe better argument. How could you say that AKY better than HRC or Moriwaki ?

BTW.. Here is BEET system for cb400 revo, that also may fit in case AKY do..

And here is cb400 Nc39 titanium beet system. Just for comparison.

So, what I like to underline there is plenty of stuff for now for both cb400 or cbr400. And AKY is not only one good option...

I wouldn't get too excited Akrapovic do make a good system but there certainly not the best, they insist on making there headers too long and equal lengths :ugeek:

didint say its gonna be best for overall 1% of power and in general imagine hrc will be better IF use with all the other race bits,thats what its designed to do.as for aky's not being too long i got over 17 bhp with a system fitted to me old zx9 with just a dynojet to get it nice and crispy!if its for use as a rod bike then will be up there imho,as the 4-1 pipes will generally give a better top end but lose out on midrange.aky make their general systems to run well with no mods.plus the beet ti headers are nice but not keen on the cans on either,they look like any other jo bloggs.do think someone with a cb4 needs to meet up with a gull/tri to try and get this answered.i always have told people i know my old ali dic headers came from a cb1 400 but didnt fit at the can,which as anyone will know who's heard the ceramic banana,are mentally loud due to basically no baffling.its like riding without the end can really,lol.just chopped it off and fitted a hi level.they made a big hole but top end was really good.crap around town though.

Carl,
I can get them from Japan but they are expensive due to the yen being strong against the pound.

Can you expand on why equal lenght headers is a problem. :?

By stacking them 2 long 2 short you get much better midrange with no loss of power up top.
