It is night and day with the link pipe but sounds perfect.
How loud is a 3/4 Akrapovic exhaust system on a 2023 R1?
Recently added the Akrapovic Titanium Slip On to my 2023 R1. I love the look of the muffler but noticed that it is not much louder than the stock exhaust. The next step would be to remove the cat and add in the optional link pipe. Before I do this though I wanted others opinions on how loud this is going to be. I'm looking for a little louder but definitely not to the point that it is obnoxious and annoying to everyone around me. It's hard to get a grasp on the noise level through videos online so I was hoping there might be people in this forum who have similar set ups to give their opinions.

It’s definitely louder, but it’s more of a throaty sound and not obnoxious. You can also use the db killer if you want it to be quieter.
on a 1-10 scale of loudness, and 10 being a short pipe and 1 being stock, it's going to be around a 8/10 for loudness. Here's the great thing, if you buy the akro silencer, it'll drop it down to about a 5/10.
The good thing about this exhaust, it's a low note, meaning that even at a louder sound, because it's not pitchy, it doesn't hurt your ears or others around. But don't kid yourself, anything with the cat removed is going to be loud. In the city, I ride a gear up and keep revs low to avoid a ticket. On the hwy, no difference but my buddies say when I pass them they feel the "rumble" of my bike. Akro muffler and midpipe setup.

I have a 1/2 system on my ‘20 that I think is too loud for street riding, but I’ve never been tagged at any track for being over 103db. I must admit, there is nothing sweeter to my ear than the sound of my bike just screamin’ down the straight 🫠
