I am looking for clarification on the exhaust cans for the new TE models. In marketing materials for some non-US markets and in last year's BMW press releases it is stated that the TE models come with both the Euro3 spec Lafranconi pipe (very large) and a steel Akrapovic racing can.
Can anyone confirm whether or not the US TE bikes have both cans ( I have one data point that says NO ).
Assuming that only the 'street' can is standard on TEs, who is producing alternatives ...other than the TC/TXC Akro, which I assume would fit.
