Akrapovic "Evolution Line" or "Evolution Line Kit" or "Evolution Line Kit 2" ???

Hey,

I've been away for a while because of my Ph.D. dissertation :shake Hopefully in a month all will be over :nopity:

Anyway I'll purchase a full TI Akrapovic exhaust system for my '12 R1. And it would take 3 weeks to arrive as a present for myself :riding

But as I remember everybody here told me that the only difference between Evolution Line Kit and Evolution Line Kit 2 is the link pipes on the headers. But after making a research on the Akrapovich's web site I found that was incorrect.

Only difference , that was told on Akra's web site, between the Kit and Kit 2 is that the Kit 2's headers are in different shape to give some space for a race radiator. That's all. And schematics shows that Evolution Kit has same link pipes as with the Kit 2.


There is an older model called Evolution Line which doesn't have link pipes. So that's why everyone else is confused.

Here are the codes for titanium canned models:
Evolution Line (S-Y10RFT10TL-ZT): No link pipes, older model.
Evolution Line Kit (S-Y10RFT10-ZT/2): With link pipes.
Evolution Line Kit 2 (S-Y10RFT10-ZT/5): With link pipes and race radiator friendly headers.


So after clarifying that I want to ask you this:
If I'm not planning to change my radiator, Is there any advantage Evolution Kit2 has over Evolution Kit? Because it's $700 more expensive :eek:
Dyno charts are also same for all three models.

I'm waiting for your answers to purchase the system ;) Thank you guys :tocoo:

+1. It's a slick system and priced very well.
I'd love to, but I live in Turkey and none of the shops in here sells Graves. They don't have a distributor company in Turkey. And because of the price range it's impossible for me to get it out of Customs ;(

I've got an Evo kit system I'm selling. It has Ti cans if you are interested.
For the similar reasons and the price range of the item (even it's used) it is a problem in customs ;( But Thanks anyway =D

BTW, do you have a pic of the headers while it was installed on the bike? I wonder how the looks differs from the Kit2.. I'll appreciate if you can post some pics of the headers section on the bike. Thanks =D

According to definitions on the Akrapovic's web site only the headers are different. They didn't mention anything about the canisters. What is the difference??

Difference to our standard Evolution system:
Headers with crossover
Headers with different Layout for bigger race radiator
Link pipe without fixing points for stock heat shield
Mufflers without db killers
Heat shields on the mufflers are made for racing and you can’t fit stock one


This difference list is same for both Kit and Kit2 except the underlined line. So the Kit2 has a different headers. But Kit and Kit2 has same canisters. But old evo has optional dB killers but these ones doesn't even have an optional dB killers.

That's what Akropovic says. Any difference did you noticed on the canisters?
