698 Exhaust Showdown: Which Exhaust Sounds Best on the 2024 Ducati Hypermotard Mono 🔥

[@ondrejsipos5651]

SC Project winner 🏆 ..they look better, the sound is better..

[@hypermotardking]

Everyones got their preference 👍🏻👍🏻

[@motosportadv8177]

I like the Austin racing cans they sound more like the Termignoni , I prefer the Austin racing cans.

[@hypermotardking]

@@motosportadv8177 Me too 👍🏻

[@solorider_9330]

Great vid Austin def looks better

[@hypermotardking]

Just has that all round flexibility with looks and sound 👍🏻

[@KevGoesRiding]

Austin definitely sounds better to me. I like the look of the SCs better though

[@hypermotardking]

@@KevGoesRiding Seems to be the general opinion

[@pieroladolcetta8997]

Did you have any issues assembling this SC project motorcycle muffler?

[@hypermotardking]

@@pieroladolcetta8997 No.. the exhaust springs were a little loose but the exhaust wasnt going anywhere

[@chrisvantassel8867]

At a stand still I liked the AR but when moving I liked the SC. Did either bother you at speed? I know I added a slip-ons to my Harley now it drones in a bad way on the freeway

[@hypermotardking]

@@chrisvantassel8867 I tested the AR on a 90-mile freeway trip and no bother.. sounds same at idle and when riding.

[@simonsmith6508]

Loving your videos - very helpful as a new owner. Are you not concerned about leaning the bike out too much with a free flow filter and exhaust without an ecu remap (like the Termi system has). I’m tempted to get the Termi just for peace of mind and warranty. I agree the Austin end cans sound great though.

[@hypermotardking]

@@simonsmith6508 Thanks - Not at the moment because it’s only end cans. It’s still got the stock air filter but just the lid removed.. the Termi has a decat hence the need for a flash - but Ducati/UpMap flashes are always rubbish so even a Termi system will benefit. Warranty is all who you know in the dealer network.

[@simonsmith6508]

@@hypermotardking Cheers! Have you thought about using a Sprint filter?

[@hypermotardking]

@@simonsmith6508 I already got one.. but waiting for some dyno time to free up to test it all

[@simonsmith6508]

@@hypermotardking Great! Can’t wait for that video! Getting 1000km service this week and my dealer is advising me to get the Termi but I’m going to wait and see if your results match vcyclenut’s - then it’s a no brainer to go with the filter / end can. I’d be really good if you compared the stock end cans to the Austin. No pressure!🤣.

[@hypermotardking]

@@simonsmith6508 the plan is to compare stock vs sprint.. stock vs end cans (SC & AR).. and then it all on together sprint, open lid & end cans

[@arnaudbrzh]

Austin ones ftw! Look better and sound deeper ❤

[@hypermotardking]

@@arnaudbrzh Yeah.. and that pitch doesnt change when your riding on the bike so doesn’t batter your ears..

[@davehowlett7147]

Nice vid Kal....do u have a decat link pipe or cat still in ?

[@hypermotardking]

This is still with the stock CAT.. the Termi sound clip is a full de-cat

[@davidkomaromi2017]

The termis looked a bit ugly. Austin racing looked nice and sounded the best

[@hypermotardking]

@@davidkomaromi2017 100% agree 🤛🏼

[@gogogomez1019]

Great vid

[@hypermotardking]

@@gogogomez1019 Cheers Bro

[@Robbiemoto]

Looks wise I like the SC’s. I like the grill at the end. The pie cuts look good but as you pointed out slightly questionable welding. Noise wise I’d have to hear them in person. At a push maybe the SC’s but not really sure.

[@hypermotardking]

I recently did a motorway ride to Preston on the 698 and the AR cans didn’t bother me one bit - no droning or ear bashing

[@Robbiemoto]

@@hypermotardking That’s what you want.

[@63Mrduke]

Have you done the airbox mod?

[@hypermotardking]

Yeah - just remove it for free 👍🏻👍🏻

[@tonystrippoli4486]

Which one makes the most power ?

[@hypermotardking]

@@tonystrippoli4486 Still gota do a dyno test but don’t think the 0.5 or 1hp difference between them is guna be felt with our fat arses on a single. Its always guna be personal preference with exhausts but these 2 are similarly priced and sound almost the same.

[@ClutchFirst]

On idle they sound similar. revving goes to SC Project from the vid. To be fair, I’d have to hear them in real life.

[@hypermotardking]

@@ClutchFirst They are similar ish.. the pitch on the SC’s is a little higher, so you notice it more in your ear. Again, exhausts are subjective and we all got our preferred choice. One thing for sure the Termi Race system sounds terrible and is too loud!

[@stefanonava9830]

did you have to remap the bike with the sc?

[@hypermotardking]

@@stefanonava9830 No remaps are available for the mono and No, end-cans don’t immediately need a flash

[@hypermotardking]

+@stefanonava9830 no remap is available yet.. just end cans for now

[@CunningStuntsGoFast]

where is your cat located then , or was it build in the oem pipe ? the welding on the sc isnt up to spec conciderin the welds are there because people want them , bending is much better then welding for flow . poor quality i say

[@hypermotardking]

@@CunningStuntsGoFast The cat is located just under the seat.. its not ver big - more of a stretched design than a big block of metal

[@matteodiiorio5194]

On the 950 sc s1 looks waaaay better than Austin racing ones!! But on the 698 maybe Austin fits better

[@hypermotardking]

@@matteodiiorio5194 100% agree the SC’s on a 950 look the business (and i had a set).. but their design just looks the same and the pipework/joins seem an after thought - where the AR is brand new and made specifically for the 698

[@matteodiiorio5194]

@@hypermotardking never seen a pair of sc on a 698 before, and honestly, never seen a 698 in real person in my home town, I do not know the difference between a 698 and a 690/701 (ktm, Husq, gas gas) but I think Ducati it’s way more costly. And that’s the point.

[@hypermotardking]

@@matteodiiorio5194 Its costly because it has better components and better electronics than the ktm/husky

[@63Mrduke]

AR cans have a much nicer deeper sound without being too offensive.

[@hypermotardking]

@@63Mrduke Well described 👍🏻👍🏻

[@DedekMartin]

AR 100%

[@hypermotardking]

Agree 👍🏻👍🏻

[@maddan_78]

Austin racing for me.... like that deeper note... and they look better in my opinion.. Do like the tip mesh of the sc... but as you covered, lack of dB killers option is a problem for me

[@hypermotardking]

@@maddan_78 Yeah in a time now where ppl are conscious of neighbours or theres sound limits at trackdays - you want to cover all scenarios with one exhaust.. AR got that covered for me

[@din0138]

Stock is good.

Wasn’t expecting this but my vote goes to Austin Racing for both the looks and the sound.

The S1’s were the best for the 950.. but for this single hust doesnt have that same appeal
