Does anyone know if the Akrapovic system is still street legal in the UK with the db killer removed ?

Cheers

Strictly it's only legal with the db killer and cat fitted, however I doubt plod will be carrying a copy of the ec certification.

the one on the Akrapovic website does.

it would be useful to know which system the OP is referring to.
I believe the CAT is an optional extra and doesn't come as standard with the exhaust.

I believe you are correct. The EC Certification on the Akrapovic website states it is only homologated with the Cat fitted.

Of course, no plod or mot tester will ever know as the exhaust is stamped which is what they would look for, if anything.
