PRO GUIDE EXHAUST GUIDE ‘Racing Line’ for Vespa Primavera AKRAPOVIČ has released its latest ‘Racing Line’ exhaust system, which has been designed for the Vespa Primavera. Introduced for the Vespa Primavera 125/150 ie 3V, the LX 125/150 ie 3V, and the Sprint 125/150 ie 3V, the Racing Line system is claimed to offer an increase in power of almost five percent, and an increase of more than five percent over standard torque figures. This is in addition to a weight saving of 1.7kg over the stock exhaust. The Racing Line exhaust is made from stainless steel and features a black coated outer-sleeve and a carbon fibre end cap. No remapping of the fuel system is necessary and no other parts are needed once the Racing Line is installed. However, a catalytic converter is an optional extra to make the exhaust system EC Type-approved when fitted.
