Hello Steve, I have sort of an off-topic question regarding the carbon chain guard/rear mudguard delete that came with your exhaust. Have you had any problems with rock chips on the underside of the tail, or rock chips on the rear shock, being that there pretty much is not a rear mudguard? I have a SFV4S with this exhaust, but I decided to keep the stock plastic rear mudguard on in fear that rocks will destroy the undertaking and rear shock. Your feedback is appreciated.

Hi there! Quick question, in terms of the sound(growl) and power output - which would you recommend of the: A. double exit(under seat) Akra, B. Underbelly Akra
@Ducati_GrandpaАй бұрын
@@anmolverma859 well, I think the sounds are close but the undertail gives more sound being a racing exhaust. You don’t hear it yourself as much with the undertail being behind you vs under you. The noise behind is loud enough it irritated a couple Ducati riders behind me on a Ducati event…which really surprised me because I didn’t think a true Ducati sound would bother someone that loves Ducati. 🤷🏻♂️ However, depending where you live, the undertail might not be able to be installed. In the US they’re illegal for road use. I had to sign a waiver at the dealership stating I would only be using it on track and not on the road. 🤦🏻♂️🫠 Ducati will fine the technician that installs it, is what I was told at the dealership. Ducati used to fine the dealership for installing race exhausts on street bikes. Then Ducati realized the dealerships didn’t care and would happily pay the fine…so they started fining the tech that does the install, so the waiver is to protect the technician. Thanks for watching!
