I was able to get my grubby little paws on a set of titanium Akra headers over the festive period and got them fitted to the XR last weekend (she already had the Akra can).
Very pleased with the result and other than the amazing sound and lovely popping on the over-run, I have noticed a marked reduction in the vibrations through the bars and the pegs. I am unsure why this is - perhaps a reduction in weight (the Cat was a big, heavy hellish looking thing) or the reduction in points of fixing / contact with the bike.
She is running on stock ECU at this time and seems to be doing fine but I will probably play safe and get a tune / rolling road done in spring before I start getting more miles on her.
Very happy camper
