This post is really old but its got me wondering why I was told with my AKRA and your SC kit I was better off getting another exhaust due the flow of the exhaust (I was told this via email from ESS when asking for a tune). Its strange to see this. Do you have a tune for the AKRA or are you still sudjesting to get another exhaust?

I don't think ESS are on the forums anymore.. BPM Have a tune for a full akra evo and 625 kit.

If you want an ESS tune it's better to go through a vendor for it like EAS. I think they wear tired of dealing with the public which leads to their somewhat not so Stella reputation in customer service... but mike at BPM is the man and I'm pretty sure is the dealer/tuner for HARROP stateside.. he provided me with my akra tune for the VT2.

They basically told me the throw away my Akra (Well not throw away but get another exhaust) They told me and I quote "Akra is an exhaust with flow issues in the mid section, they will have powerband issues that are impossible to get rid of" and also stated "Only fix is to run something else"
