Hiya all . I've just purchased a new BMW 1200 gsa and I'm looking to buy a full akrapovic system with the de cat . Can't get much info on google . And nippy normans don't have a telephone number to contact them for information on parts . So thought I would ask here .
I wanted to know does the full system void my warranty ?.
Also does the full system delete the exhaust flapper . If not how do I go about removing it ? Seen it done on the older models but not much info on the gsa lc on the net . Don't like the thought of the flap stopping the exhaust gas from leaving properly on tick over . Also I noticed nippy normans got the stainless tube to remove the flap but it says its for models up to 2013 . Has anyone fitted it to the lc model .any info be great

The cat is in the headers so is the valve, you just disconnect the cables to the Valve, so the solenoid still turns and thinks its done its job result
The warranty would only come into effect if the mod was a cause of the claim being made
To be honest the can does not make much difference , but the headers do improve the bike I noticed a better range out of a full tank of fuel once the headers where fitted
It is fuckin loud with a can on and baffles out with the headers fitted
Its well worth doing just to get the extra 2 or 3 miles out of a tank full, you might get 4 or 5 miles more out of yours as mine is just a GS

There is plenty of info on ukgser

Take no notice of the pratt saying don't bother with the decat headers as there to expensive he his talking out of his ARSE,,,
A Akro pipe from BM is about £850 and gives you little gain (trust me)
Akro headers are about £450 and believe me they make a difference and make the standard exhaust can sound nice

Thanks for your reply you've been a big help in getting me convinced on buying the akropovic headers
