Worthwhile upgrade or just a style swap?

I recently installed an Akrapovic exhaust on my R6S and while I'm loving the sound and sleek design I got my hands on a used 2 Brothers Racing exhaust for cheap. They're similar in size and shape so I'm curious if swapping would improve performance, reduce weight or just be a cosmetic change. Anyone with experience comparing brands like these?

Current setup sounds wicked and your plan doesn't look like an upgrade for me!
So Two Bros are really loud, like REALLY LOUD.. some love it, some hate it. Performance gain is also negligible when you go from an Akra to a used Two Bros..
Why bother changing if you're saying you're happy with how everything looks and sounds.. I say just stick with it! Just my two cents

Appreciate the honest take @King_Up_Da_Road ! Sticking with the Akra might be the smart move if performance gains are minimal and the volume is off the charts. No need to fix what's already firing on all cylinders right?

I know that a full exhaust upgrade with a proper tune might give you some performance boost, but not a lot. If it's not a full exhaust then you're probably getting the looks and the sound.

Swapping your Akrapovic for a Two Brothers Racing exhaust probably won't improve performance noticeably; most riders chase these brand swaps for looks and sound, but the hype often overshadows real-world gains

It's looking more and more like the Akra is staying put, at least for now. I'm not running a full system or tune, so chasing a few extra decibels or a different look probably isn't worth the hassle. I might hang onto the Two Bros as a backup or for experimenting later but for now the Akra checks all the boxes.
