Thanks for weighing everything! That exhaust is the best weight saving mod yet.

[@Quickshifter_26]

Each and every build episode is being more and more interesting. Can't wait for the stage 2 tune on this maniac machine ❤

[@gunsnsails]

Thank you for showing your work! Believe me, I'm sure it's gonna help more than just me!

[@frederickhamilton2648]

Unpopular opinion: This underbelly exhaust looks WAY better than the wheelbarrow exhaust! So much cleaner, that heatshield for the wheelbarrow is fugly!

[@BT_Moto]

We’re waiting for the tricolore carbon replacement shield to drop. We’ll add that to the build.

[@guitarmike4ever]

Liking this video series man. Good attention to detail and awesome info.👍

[@edwardjademiclat5254]

4:50 “thats a great sound” lmao I feel you brotha

[@Ph0enix7373]

I’m looking forward to watching this as soon as I wake up

[@tbrowning9643]

Looks and sounds great, how a V4 should sound from the factory, good work👍🏻

[@Mrlogreco]

I like the realism you’re leaving in your videos. Most of us have to go back a few times to get different size tools.

[@itzerisadomeeiot4980]

great work

[@Jonrick999]

Som de escapamento modificado de uma V4 é insano e bonito, fenomenal de escutar

[@adrianoleao9127]

Boa tarde essa v4 é uma obra de arte!

[@victoririas2366]

I cant wait to see what the velocity stacks will do.

[@Backyard_Racing]

Hey Bren what made you go with the slip-on instead of the full exhaust is the full exhaust just not available yet?

[@BT_Moto]

@@Backyard_Racing the vast majority of our customers will opt for a slip rather than the full system, though we will be testing both versions on the dyno

[@Yesitsqk]

Great video…I would think this system would work on the 25+ streetfighter v4 as well Fingers crossed

[@elbandidosti]

I assumed it does not come with a map to get rid of the engine light?

[@BT_Moto]

@@elbandidosti we will be providing our own mapping for the system. The Akra upmap requires a lot of hoops to jump through and it will permanently disable cruise control and turn by turn nav.

[@nickNLB]

It’s crazy how much weight savings that it is. Great job, beautiful sound 🙌

[@73abu]

Nice

[@christopherazarias9372]

😮 14lbs save?!

[@gocubs0011]

Where did you score the exhaust for 4500.00?

[@BT_Moto]

@@gocubs0011 what it retails for. The wheelbarrow exhaust (full system) is north of $8k

[@victorgonza4528]

Not to mention the labor at Ducati

[@SolidAliasAliAsRun]

2min:46s - Is it possible that there is way to much Engine-Oil filled in or was this just from the angle of view?

[@BT_Moto]

@@SolidAliasAliAsRun it’s higher in the window but not above the window. The bike is also at a pitched angle at times due to front stand being on and off the bike

[@310lenons]

4:48 brooo that was funny, but i hate when it happens to me

[@bigd4856]

Too afraid to tune mine. but want to put exhaust on so bad

[@BT_Moto]

@@bigd4856 definitely needs tuning with exhaust. Watch our upcoming dyno video and Stage 2 review we’ll be putting out soon for the benefits and testing.

[@janZ900]

Looks ugly but sounds good

[@r002-bhupeshtiwary8]

how many horses can it gain from this ?

[@BT_Moto]

@@r002-bhupeshtiwary8 dyno next week. We’ll see then

[@MKOV4S]

Kinda hurts to see you use power tools while working on this beauty

[@Naldo_S1K]

🤔🤔🤔

[@northernlefty5412]

Why? Everyone does.

[@R6_Quiet]

👀

[@Backyard_Racing]

Yeah who wants to get their work done faster lol

[@itzerisadomeeiot4980]

wtf your bike your rules unless you cant work your asss

[@URBANLEGEND543]

Only the Italians can make a slip on install require a degree. All other bikes take 4 minutes and done. Labor charge grab.

[@USAracing]

Too much work!!!! F that!! The bodywork on all Ducs before the 1199 remove within 2 minutes with Dzus pins

[@dejankirchberger25]

Fürchterlich diese KI

[@MarioDelogu-i8r]

Tu est pas capable de faire tes commentaires toi même, je me desabonne

[@carlmayer691]

WHOA 1/2 hr to remove the 'aesthetically pleasing' plastic heat cover everywhere on the engine, bodywork.... No more Dzus fasteners, rubber 'zip' ties Ducati ? The 1st MY of the V4S were HOT unbearably so, but I'd rather cook, then deal w/ those hideous heat shields....you would think Ducati could find some way to deal w/ the engine cooling .... and $4200 bucks for a slip on system... My 999s Termignoni 54 mm full exhaust kit, w/ titanium canister was $1800 ! Insanity... Great content though !!!
