Just been looking to order one of these when I spotted that on the Akra website + other sites, the Carbon one is listed as non-approved ... anyone know anything further?

Which REALLY annoys me ... so who else is doing a Carbon exhaust?The Carbon sleeve aftermarket system, S-Y7R2-AFC, is a Race system.
There is no catalytic converter in the system so therefore it will be marked as a Race silencer and not Road legal( ‘cat’ is needed for emission test).
Just got a reply from the UK importers!

as long as ur country have restrictions, i cant guarantee u that u will not be in the legal zoone. i have the akra carbon fitted and it is loud as F!"#¤, driving around in town ull get headache, but outside of town its great if u dont care about other pplThe carbon one must be approved because my dealer offered to sell me the carbon on instead of the titanium ones.
My dealer offered to take the baffle out of my Akra Titanium when they fitted it but that would have meant I wasn't road legal as it's not approved for use with the dB killer taken out, which they knew and they told me this.The carbon one must be approved because my dealer offered to sell me the carbon on instead of the titanium ones.
It does not say it is not road legal with DB-killer out but without Catalytic Converter it is.

The dealer isn't responsible for making sure you comply with the law you are. You would be expected to take reasonable steps to establish if the exhaust offered is legal or not (i.e by asking!)
Where does it say it is not road legal to remove the baffle?
My dealer suggested to have mine removed before I picked it up.
A kitchen knife is legal until someone does something stupid with it.how can u guys say this system is legal? it is loud as fuck.
yes thats right, i added an extra silenceing part. i have not even tried the system without the db killer out and i dont want do.... driving in town where u have the buildings that can bounce back the sound, this system is horrible, cant even hear my own thoughts. country roads is another thing. ofc i can put in the earpluggs and not be bothered anymore. but ill guarantee, if the police hear my bike they will give me a fine and i have to do an MOT. and the MOT will not be ok with the acra system for sure.A kitchen knife is legal until someone does something stupid with it.
If i'm reading your post right Def, you are saying that the system with the DBK in is too loud as standard so you have added extra silencing?
If that's the case you must have super sensitive hearing as im sure most people wouldn't agree to that extent.
Take the DBK out on the other hand and yes, it will scare unborn babies and is too loud in my opinion.
