Chrome, I hate you.

I'm confused?

If its just looks and therefore Just headers that are wanted? Then why not replace with stainless OEM, cheap as chips 2nd hand as loads of people junk them for aftermarket ones.

That's a great suggestion Andres

Ihad chrome headers on my new 2012 GS...tbh they are blue now ! Not sure just what the supposed benefit is tbh over stock.It sounded a good option at the time, and came with prem /dynamic package anyway.
I do fancy trying the akra headers to get rid of the cat though and get some nice noise from my akra can( straight thru)..but dont want to spoil any warranty , which is till 2014.
I take it the lambda sensors are essential for the bikes performance ?...

Keihan headers all the way for me, i wudnt bother paying the extra for a remus or akro set to be honest and if you ask nicely theyll even sort you out with a bit of pipe to bypass the waste of time flapper valve

I've got Aros de-cat headers on my HP2 and they look fantastic. No chrome on this machine!
