Which is what lead me to the next alternative, the <a href=\"http:\/\/7tuned.com\/index.php\/2010\/09\/titanium-love\/\">TiForce<\/a> system. A nice quality exhaust in its own right, but over the months I kept coming back and eyeing the Akrapovi\u010d. <\/p>\n<p>I finally gave in and decided to cash out for one new. When it comes to exhausts, there are simply no rivals (okay, maybe Termignoni and Arrow come close), the Slovenian manufacturer rules them all&#8230; and for good reason. Their carbon fiber is without peers and their titanium is unparalleled. Akrapovi\u010d even has its own in-house hydroforming machines and titanium foundry. What I received in the mail was not so much a motorcycle exhaust, but a work of art. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/akrapovicevolution.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/akrapovicevolution-600x332.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"akrapovicevolution\" width=\"600\" height=\"332\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2707\" srcset=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/akrapovicevolution-600x332.jpg 600w, http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/akrapovicevolution-900x498.jpg 900w, http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/akrapovicevolution.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/titaniumheaders.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/titaniumheaders-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"titaniumheaders\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2710\" srcset=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/titaniumheaders-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/titaniumheaders-900x675.jpg 900w, http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/titaniumheaders.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/weldedbung.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/weldedbung-600x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"weldedbung\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2711\" srcset=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/weldedbung-600x800.jpg 600w, http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/weldedbung.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/akrapovictitanium.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/akrapovictitanium-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"akrapovictitanium\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2708\" srcset=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/akrapovictitanium-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/akrapovictitanium-900x675.jpg 900w, http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/akrapovictitanium.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/titaniumexhaust.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/titaniumexhaust.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"titaniumexhaust\" width=\"597\" height=\"980\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2709\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ferraris and the owner of <a href=\"http:\/\/shineautoproject.com\">Shine Auto Project<\/a> Aero parts swayed me over to the side of 1&#215;1 plain weave carbon fiber.
