The Akrapovic pipe is hands down a better built device. We're comparing the Italian, "let's have a glass of ciante" building practice to that of Slovenian "do it right or go to the gulag" mentality. That's not to say the Leo Vince is bad, because it isn't, it's just that, among other things, Akrapovic has their own metal foundry on site, so their quality control shows through in their products....

This fool is saying that Leo Vince is basically shit compared to Akra cause they have their own foundry LMAO, maybe they need a new engineer to design their pipes to fit and stop spending money on advertising. Yah I hear ya man. Sooooooo much better, not a chance....
