Short Akra cans? GP style

OK, I have seen a pic of a bike with a short GP style can on here before. From what I know they don't make them, for the public at least, but do they make them for factory teams? I found this R6 and it looks short. The proportion of the sticker to the can and also the position of the hanger. It may also just be the angle playing tricks on me. What do you think?:beer

Leo Vinci might make some mass production ones. A few guys on our racing circuit have them on their R6s.

yeah, they don't make it too blaitant on there....check out the 10R EVO page.

quoting from their site;
NOTE: We have also developed an Akrapovic EVOLUTION 2 exhaust system for the Kawasaki ZX 10R, which is intended only for races and championships which allow louder exhaust systems – 107 dB. The EVOLUTION 2 differs from the EVOLUTION 1 and RACING systems in the design of the muffler. The muffler is shorter and louder than the muffler for the EVOLUTION 1 and RACING systems. The Akrapovic carbon-fiber bracket is mandatory (instead of optional as for the RACING and EVOLUTION 1). The EVOLUTION 2 is only suitable for certain types of competition!
