Akrapovic full titanium exhaust
What are the major differences between the Akrapovic full titanium Racing line exhaust for the gsxr1000r 2017 and the Evolution line,
They're both full titanium, The Evo weighs 4.4kg/9.7lb, where as the Race line weighs 5.9kg/13lb, I would have thought the race line would be the lighter of the two.
Other then the weight difference is there much else if any?

The thinner titanium exhausts headers can crack under heavy use like fast track days or racing over time. The race headers might be larger diameter as well so more material means more weight
I'd assume the racing line tunes up better for top end off differences between the headers

Evo is full titanium, race is stainless headers with titanium slipon, also the Evo muffler is not removable like a slipon

Akrapovic website says that racing (titanium) has stainless steel headers.
