AKRAPOVIC EXAHUST FOR THE NEW VESPA GTS 300 2023! WORTH IT?

One of the recent upgrades is the new Akrapovič exhaust for the Vespa GTS 2023, titanium finish, with carbon fiber ends and cover. Here's a video showing how it sounds and letting you know how it feels.

Definitely the best sound I’ve heard yet on a Vespa aftermarket can. Yep

[@arancioimpulsivo]

Couldn't agree more!

[@richardmorton4362]

Brilliant sounds great !

[@arancioimpulsivo]

Thanks!

[@marcosaurus80]

Apart from sound, is there any improvement? I would rather spend money on suspensions….

[@arancioimpulsivo]

Weight, the stock one is around 3-4 kgs heavier and looks. Yeah, for utility I think suspensions are a better investment, but for now I really like the suspension. This upgrade is more of a looks, sound, feeling type of upgrade, not really that useful :)

[@JkLow]

will it increased the power?

[@AltitudeRider]

Sounds great! May have to put this on my “want” list. My list is getting longer and more expensive! Another great video!

[@arancioimpulsivo]

Haha yeah, but if we are having fun that's all that matters. What are you going to change to your GTS?

[@AltitudeRider]

Some of the same things you’ve already done. Matt black out front suspension cover, Matt black outer belt cover, short lollipop mirrors, the sport rack and classic bag, black sport levers, looking at the “Big Box” to fit my full modular helmet, SIP headlight trim, front mud flap, and more. I have shopping carts everywhere just to keep track of what I want to do! Keep posting your mods! Cheers!

[@arancioimpulsivo]

@@AltitudeRider Awesome! Quick tip, you if buy from SIP make sure they fit on 2023 model, some from 2022 model do not fit. You need to check with them or see it if it shows 2023- HPE2 :)

[@AltitudeRider]

Thanks for the tip! I will probably stay with ScooterWest if I can to save on shipping. I’ve also been following V-Hanger out of Germany. I don’t speak German, but he does some great mods. Keep up the good work! Stay safe!

[@arancioimpulsivo]

@@AltitudeRider Oh, awesome, Robot is the man! Let me know what mirros you find for the new gts, the thread has changed now to M10 (instead of M8) so there aren't any available right now. Yeah, I also follow V-Hanger :)

[@timcutugno7319]

I think the point of a Vespa isn’t exhaust sound.

[@arancioimpulsivo]

Agree!

[@ZipKroon]

With a 300 it also is. With a 50 or 125 not.

[@VoIPPortland]

Since these ate about 340lbs, how are they not constantly stolen? Two guys, truck/van, gone. In Portland, downtown, sadly I'd be better off with a beat up roach that no one would bother taking.

[@arancioimpulsivo]

I have a tracker and full assurnace, so they can steal it 😅

[@erykschubert]

Nice one! Did you notice that other drivers were more aware of you on the road? The stock exhaust is too quiet for drivers to notice you and, for example, make space for you in traffic jams.

[@arancioimpulsivo]

I think it's specific to the location you ride in. In Bucharest, RO, people are on their phones, in other countries they are more respectful and aware, I don't think an exhaust will made you more "visible" in a city like where stay.

[@erykschubert]

@@arancioimpulsivo You're right, I was in Bucharest a few years ago and they actually drive like crazy :d I live in Warsaw and there is a high driving culture here, but I have the impression that the drivers simply can't hear my Vespa. When a large motorcycle approaches, drivers pay attention to it and usually make room for it

[@kresnacakra78]

it's not worth it if it just sound like that. remove the db killer.

[@arancioimpulsivo]

The mic does not do it justice. The sound is much deeper and nicer.

[@kresnacakra78]

@@arancioimpulsivo on second thought, after watching again your video with volume increased, it does sound nice. Am planning to install it on my Sei Giorni. Thanks for the video.

[@poztal77]

i would be afraid that someone steals the exhaust, especially in a city did you remove the catalytic converter?

[@arancioimpulsivo]

It's a bit hard to be taken off, and I also have full assurance, so I don't mind if they steal the whole Vespa :)) That's how it came.

Like the tone; is the Cat installed?

[@arancioimpulsivo]

Yes :)

[@pollito19888]

Which site did you bought it? Thanks

[@arancioimpulsivo]

From the Vespa dealership, but you can find it on sip also.

[@aportsetivac8023]

Which sound better? Remus rs 2.0 or that new akra?

[@aportsetivac8023]

​@@imprisonedone8054removable db killer?

[@imprisonedone8054]

@@aportsetivac8023 yes, but in my country police will arrest you. Akrapovic is the top exhaust even big compagnies like Honda, Yamaha use Akrapovic on their products.

[@arancioimpulsivo]

Akra I think, deeper tone

[@nicolaiguth1028]

Is not legal in germany, right? 😉

[@arancioimpulsivo]

It's legal if you add in the cat.

[@olaeinairoda]

What top speed have you achieved???

[@arancioimpulsivo]

120km/h I think it's limited electronicaly.

[@dominiquegastaldi4298]

​@@arancioimpulsivo nope is the akrapovic!! Drive the same

[@gernotmueller64]

Arrow sound is a bit better

[@arancioimpulsivo]

I heard arrow also has a “full power” map Approved by Piaggio. The guys jn the service showed me.

[@er.dr.muratguvendi]

I used 2020 akrapovic exhaust, I don't think I will buy a 2023 case vespa exhaust because there is not much difference with the original.

[@arancioimpulsivo]

If it has a cat, I think there's not much dif.

[@rosslevin9593]

I have the same exhaust (in black), love the look, would have liked some more growl from the sound though (even with my cat out).

[@arancioimpulsivo]

Great!

Not really that loud :)

Yes!

A lot better than original and do me a favour, wear gloves please. Cheers

[@cheonglaw]

The soundes good 👍🏼

[@arancioimpulsivo]

The mic does not do it justice, the sound is very deep, I love it! :)

[@mikec6617]

Sounds great. It looks like a Vespa is the best way to get from point a to point b in your congested city! Cheers!

[@rdavidsen7344]

@Marco Tosi I'd add brakes / braking system components and tires (if better are available) as well. Safety ahead of the exhaust upgrade.

[@arancioimpulsivo]

I feel the brakes and tires are more than good for the GTS :)

[@rdavidsen7344]

@@arancioimpulsivo I will have to disagree with you on this. I suppose it depends on where one is coming from. My reference is a Triumph Street Triple RS. I suppose it also depends on one's risk tolerance. I don't find my 2023 GTS 300 brakes 'inspiring', to say the least...they are adequate and workable...but being injured OR NOT...is measured in feet. The brake feel, lever travel, pad grip, and braking distance etc. can be improved upon. I encourage your viewers to take a look at this video from V-Hangar to get a feel for braking distance differentials. The example makes the point clear. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2eYY5eag5uIgdU Keep up the good work. I've been enjoying your videos.

[@perivoyestoyanovski9031]

Have you tried removing the muffler?

[@arancioimpulsivo]

No, I changed back to stock.

[@perivoyestoyanovski9031]

@@arancioimpulsivo sorry i wanted to say removing the db killer/silencer? Btw you changed back to the stock exhaust?
