That combination is rare — most link pipes achieve their weight saving by removing the catalytic converter, which ends the type approval.

An additional aluminium muffler holder from BMW's own accessory range is then required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is two extra parts and a permanent change to the bike's ability to carry a passenger. If you ride your Scrambler two-up, choose the high-mounted route with L-B12SO9T instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHigh or Low\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBMW's R nineT platform allows the silencer to sit high or low, and Akrapovic builds a link pipe for each. This is the low one. It is the lighter of the two at 2.5 kg against 3.4, and it is also the cheaper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high version needs the passenger footpegs removed; this one does not, except on the Scrambler. Choose by how the bike is used rather than by how it looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFive Machines, One Pipe\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R nineT, Pure, Racer, Scrambler and Urban G\/S are five very different-looking motorcycles built on one air-cooled boxer platform. All five take this pipe for model years 2014 through 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFive and a Half Kilograms From a Boxer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBMW's standard mid-section on the R nineT weighs 8 kg. On a motorcycle that BMW sells on lightness and simplicity, that is a lot of hidden steel — and it is 68.8 per cent of what this pipe removes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe saving is larger in percentage terms than on almost anything else in this catalogue, and it comes without giving up the type approval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eForty Minutes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA boxer puts everything in the open. The mid-section is reachable from the side with the bike on its centre stand, and there is no fairing to remove first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Cheaper of the Two\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt this price the low-mounted pipe costs well under half what the high version does, for a larger weight saving and a smaller power gain. For most nineT owners it is the better value — the high pipe is bought for how it looks as much as for the 1.3 PS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApproved Means No Paperwork\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith EC and ECE type approval in place, this pipe needs no entry in the vehicle documents and no individual inspection. Keep the certificate that ships with it in the bike's papers, and that is the whole administrative burden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEC and ECE type approval are both in place, and EPA certification covers the United States.
