But there are documented instances of the crap welds in Termis blowing apart. It's also funny that many think the new style Termis for our bikes was something fresh and new when Akra came out with the design way before Termi did.

So good for you in getting rid of the the overpriced junk and getting some quality components for your bike.

Hey bud, you are 100% right... I didn't notice right away, but when I inspected the difference in welds between the Termig and the Akra, it's not comparable... I mean, i don't think the Termi welds are bad, but they're not even close to the art-work Akra provides.

Just to show you guys the quality of Akrapovic welds, I've posted a picture below. That's some weld work...
