How To Install the New Akrapovic Exhaust System on Vespa GTS

[@forrysc]

I received my Akrapovic exhaust from scooter west today. I’ve probably installed 40 or 50 exhaust systems in my life on bunch of different engine configurations. I still watched this video. It allowed me to get my necessary tools out and to mentally work through what needed to be done even though fitting the exhaust Is really easy even for the inexperienced. The carbon shield took 80% of the time of the install . It really looks cool, but if you want to save yourself and hour and $100 go without it. I’m still glad I opted for it. I think it was worth the cost and additional install time. As mentioned, it’s quiet but I’m ok with that. It looks great and suits the scooter. It doesn’t look out of place.

[@VespaMotorsport]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing and glad we could help out...

[@aportsetivac8023]

Is it full exhaust? Does it need a tune after installation?

[@jamespatterson7809]

After many years of motorcycling I'm now onto my third Harley-Davidson. In the not to distant future I aim to downsize to a Vespa Super Sport 300. I very much enjoy your videos. JP, LIVERPOOL UK

Good choice!

[@Maddpunx]

Excellent tip on loosening the header, stops stress cracks in the pipe.

[@VespaMotorsport]

Glad it helped, thanks for watching!

Just installed my Akrapovic on my Sei Giorni. Thanks Robot!

[@kevinell6605]

If you have an old kids trampoline, the spring puller with those makes a handy substitute. Used it on my sip road 2 exhaust on my P2

[@VespaMotorsport]

good tip!

[@benedictvoon812]

I like your presentation and personality. Keep it going strong.

Thank you! Will do!

[@marckirzeder6722]

Great video(s), very informative and without useless extravaganza. One can learn a lot from this. Keep up the good Work!

[@VespaMotorsport]

Thank you very much!

[@thomas3959]

Do avoid damage it makes sense to first tighten the two back screws and only then tighten the front clamp. This way the whole exhaust system does not built up unnecessary tension, that can lead to cracks in the front area where the clamp is located. As far as I remember it is described that way in the installation manual also and it has been discussed and confirmed like that in the german vespaforum also. Nice videos otherwise, lots of valuable informations and help!

Man you re awesome, greetings from Athens, Greece!

Awesome! Thank you!

You got a video on how to remove the db-killer?

Dear Sir You are My HERO !! May I wish the GTS All Water Pipe Change Video

[@pavelpoborsky9818]

Exhaust gasket need to change a new one instead of old one?

[@BadTrainDriver1]

Gosh darn I love you, Robot. You are amazing!!

[@coreyknox1751]

[@Alon792]

Hey robot, Tnx for yet one more informative video. I noticed you didn’t insert a gasket on this one , why not?

[@Diego-ci8re]

Hey robot thanks but can you tell us how u can take off the silencer

[@alfretonred]

Good job! Though fitting the optional carbon shield, looks like a pain in the arse. I'd give that a miss..

[@mdsoccer9]

Please pardon my ignorance, but if this exhaust isn’t much louder, what’s the benefit of installing it? Is it the more aggressive look or does it perform better than the stock one?

[@leightri]

The pipe isn't louder, but the tone is very different - much lower and less like my wife's hair dryer.

[@JeffBlanchard-Design]

Weight savings: half the weight (7 vs 14 lbs), which is a lot as the exhaust is unsprung weight.

[@Samir-50082]

Nice video. I have a question for my scooter the BTC Riva. I want the same exhaust, what type or model apracovic do I need. I am living in Europe.

[@richarddavis1884]

Great video thanks Robot!

[@VespaMotorsport]

Glad you liked it!

[@hellcat3483]

Make a Video with the new Remus RS Exhaust

[@joamon559]

Love your work. Thanks Robot. Wouldn't it work better to install the small clamp for the heat shield the other way around so that the head of the allan key can be accessed from below, making access to it easier? Maybe also carbon fibre washer under the head of the bolt on the outside and the larger washer behind the heat shield?

[@9tbiker455]

Yeah. Finally. Thank you!

[@VespaMotorsport]

Thanks for being patient. Hope this helps with your install. Thanks for your support!

[@steikio1]

Thank you. Is the Catalytic Converter included with the exhuast pipe? Also, can it be removed ?

[@EinarLerschen]

Any update on that 50cc iget build? You guys were looking for a fifty from a customer who would be willing to get those performance mods. Has anyone signed up?

[@VespaMotorsport]

No one yet! haha Just shows your how many people have 50's here in CA...

Glad you think so!

[@ziapride]

Do they still make the one with the removable baffle? if so what is the part number?

[@athanasiosmessoloras7497]

Hello Robot!!!Nice video…Will this pipe be suitable for the HPE 300 cc euro 5 model of vespa?

[@rayvalk1433]

Hi Robot, did you install it without the cat?

[@ralffox1194]

Hello, nice video. With me, the clamp always slips after a few hundred kilometers and then the exhaust leaks. Do you have an idea how I can eliminate this problem?

[@bobh6960]

Looking for a digital torque wrench like yours...can you inform make, model pls 👍

[@jjziemba]

How is loudness levels of this compared to the one for the primavera 150? Read mixed reviews on if the 150 it's too loud. Thanks!

[@michaelkrug3043]

Is there enough space between the pipe and the oil filter to change the filter ?

[@daverussell505]

Another great video Robot. I have Remus dual flow exhausts fitted to my 300’s. Do you guys have a view on the best after market exhausts for 300’s from a performance point of view?

[@VespaMotorsport]

We’ve kind of boiled it down to Akrapovic and Malossi, which is what we sell on scooterwest.com. Plenty of other good brands out there, but we try not to over complicate our inventory and we’ve had a good track record with these brands in our repair shop as well. Here’s a Dino video we did that offers a few specs kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5a2imyMnaqJp6c How do you like the Remus?

[@raizzarhey12rheywatanabe]

Its good for scooter nice🤩🤩🤩

[@mr.paladin8721]

Is there a tone-wheel for last years GTS 300 to increase the speed on that like on the HPE?

[@aliyurdakul1]

Hi robot My vespa dealer gonna instal same akrapovic 2022 gtv 300 sei gorni euro 5 I hope the sound not too quiet i got before a 2013 gts with akrpovic it got a beatifull sound

[@sharplanceforge1898]

Please help... Installed my PMAK-01 Original Stainless Exhaust today without the catalytic converter. Robot's video made it easy, thank you! One issue I have is the check engine light is on now. What gives? (O2 sensor adjustment/calibration required. or must I install the cat, or.... ?) I reviewed all I could find on the internet and scooterwest videos in relation of the Akrapovic and engine check light for 2020 GTS 300 HPE, to no avail.

[@Designer_Opine]

Sorry little pipe, did you say something? I couldn’t hear you over the shop HVAC. A beautiful add-on upgrade. This clip is Designer approved ❤️🤖🛵

[@AzimMesnor]

Can we have guide on how to fix engine mount bearing /bushing replacement for gts model? Would be good is there is a video guide.

[@ahmetuygur]

Hi brother , db killer removable ¿¿

[@forrysc]

ahmet uygur yes and no. They are tack welded in place. You can drill out the weld and use a slide hammer to remove them. It’s a pain and not worth it. I’d look for the older style as they are still available. At least here in the USA they are.

[@ghinio3675]

@@forrysc On this one it is not welded, it is screwd. The screw however does have a welding spot, but can be removed without problem if done with care. But you have to drill the carbon endcap at the right spot to get access to the screw. Looking at it when muffler is mounted, the screw is on the inside (side thats facing towards scooter).

[@forrysc]

Ghinio thanks for the info ghinio!

[@LazyHitman1993]

Hello, Mr. Robot. Will this exhaust system work on the Piaggio Liberty S 150? I’ve been searching for the answer online. I can’t find it. I assume it would, since they share the same engine, correct? Thank you for your time!

[@VespaMotorsport]

No, this is specifically designed for the GTS 300. Akrapovic does make an exhaust that will fit the Liberty 150 3V engine, but not with the new iGet motor.

[@LazyHitman1993]

@@VespaMotorsport are there any aftermarket exhausts at all for the iGet motor? I’ve tried searching online and can’t really seem to find an answer. Thank you for your time.

Would you guys know on how to remove the hpe super tech chrome bezel to replace with a black one. thanks

[@Daviddanrani]

Hi. I installed this new akra (black version) on my racing sixties gts 300 hpe and it looks and sounds fantastic. Also installed a malossi lambda and the scooter was even faster, but that gives a motor warning. So I removed the lambda and then the warning went away, but I felt so much difference, the lambda made it really more powerfull. Is there a way to avoid this motor warning? I hear other newer gts 300 give motor warning with lambda too, but I didn't find a solution :(

[@yorickl3416]

Disable the warning light

[@deepsoulvation]

Hi I have a 125 gts 2018 & bought a second hand black widow exhaust but the manafold doesn't fit I had a 125 2009 & it fitted on it no problem have they changed the engine mounts does anyone know where I can get a manafold to fir my 2018

good 🤙

THE most important mod you can ever do. Probably the easiest too.

Simple bolt on power, easy peasy. Looks and sounds great too!

[@michealpribula1294]

robot watch your videos on vespas a lot . thought I would like one, you talk them up in your videos but you ride something else and say its what you think is better. if you don.t ride what you sell that make up my mind about vespa.

[@collin6238]

I dunno I think this is sacrilege to replace a brand new stock exhaust with this pimped up unit .. not a fan

[@andypeterson3070]

What Robot doesn't know about Vespa's isn't worth knowing!!

[@huseyinbaykara2134]

this is an example of wasting money and time.vespa doesn't need upgrade.
