SP systems are street legal, which means that they conform to the conditions of the EU technical commission with regard to the allowable noise levels of aftermarket exhaust systems. Their legality is also officially approved and marked on the muffler with a laser engraving. These systems contain special noise damping inserts, by which they conform to the strict requirements for street use.
The SP series is visually minimally distinct from the existing systems. The only readily recognizable element is a modification to the Akrapovic logo on the sticker. The logo includes an additional element which clearly indicates the type of exhaust system.
SP systems are constructed entirely of high-quality stainless steel. The only exception is the outer sleeve of the muffler, which is available only in titanium.
The development of SP systems will always take the philosophy of Akrapovic's top lines into account. Since SP systems are derived from the already established Akrapovic product lines, this means the same guaranteed product quality, durability and performance characteristics as the existing Akrapovic exhaust system lines.
The new SP series exhaust systems are always developed in parallel with the existing lines, through which we in some cases expand the choice of a certain type of exhaust system for a given motorcycle in a practical manner. But this will not always be the case. The decision to develop an SP version of a system will also be based on the potential for the given model of motorcycle.
A very important parameter of the SP series exhaust systems is their incompatibility with the existing Akrapovic product lines. This means that it is not possible to interchange the component parts of SP series exhaust systems with those of other systems, which makes the SP series and the other product lines exclusive of each other (e.g.: the muffler from an SP version will not fit onto a Slip-On link pipe and vice versa).
SP systems are cheaper than the existing systems in the same line and their prices will be comparable to the competition.
