They use short pipes in MotoGp. What more can I say?

have u heard the sound of tsukigi? They have a loud & awesome tone. They work dam closely with kawa for racing. They have killer tone for the 14R too & nearly ordered it but decided to keep the microns as they also sound killer

You won't get Tsukigi's and Akrapovic in your budget of $500.

Two Brothers is American and Akrapovic is European (Yugoslavian). Anything from EU is expensive. By the way, Two brothers is louder than Akrapovic. They are no where near same. The videos don't do justice, you have to hear them in person.

With the oil, just stick to the grade that is recommended and any of the well know brands are fine. Don't use synthetic yet.

@straight6

i heard a clearer video of the 2brothers it was amazing. ill still try for akro but if i cannot fit it in my budget then 2brothers is comfirmed. so here i close my deal on the silencers.

any reason for not using synthetic now. can u suggest any perticular brands to be used or model names thanx a lot

You should start using synthetic after the bikes engine is completely broken in. Synthetic oil doesn't allow the break in to happen like it should because of its super smooth quality.

Don't forget that you will also be paying duty on the exhaust when it lands in KSA. So the Akrapovic is out of the question.

most of the times duty is not taken. u have duy on items but its mostly on something noticeable else the blokes here are too lazy to look in the package and charge any customs. its mostly on large packages.

will use some regular oil now. btw when excatly is my run-in getting over 1000 (first service ) or 1500 kms. man ive not been folowing the book at all. mostly inbetween the book and u all

You are under the wrong impression mate. For items as small as a headlight bulb also they charge. I got myself plenty of products over the net. All come & get stuck at the customs here until you get in touch with them, pay & get it released.

You really need to go through your manual mate. Its again a very wrong notion that these engines dont need to be broken into. I dont think Kawa or any other maker will play a Joke & write it in the manual for the heck of it. 500 to 600kms requires your oil changes (purely talking from my exp., might be wrong).

well after my initial reading here on the forums ive stopped dirving like i used to and become more conservative in using the throttle. anyways im almost done with 1000kms

my friend i am not in india but in the gulf and things run a little different here. customs will be issued depending on mood of the officer hahaha and time of day etc etc so i hope i wont be charged.
