Akrapovič Full Exhaust Review

[@JiggetsLives]

UPDATE: After 5 months of running the Akrapovič Full Exhaust I am still thrilled with the package. Going back and running a stock Supersport just feels wrong. The enhancement in torque curve (around 5k) makes a huge impact on both daily riding and track days. For long rides 6+ hours I will put in the dB killers to avoid the drone of the bike at constant speed. Other than that - I let this baby bark! I'm get regular complements on the sound of the system. If you own a SS or are thinking about a purchase - this is a must!

hi, do you know the dB table Akrapovic gives for it? I wonder about it's noise - becuase here in Europe it can be critical to make my decision. You know, fun to have but be banned from riding actually on the tracks... I worry about it but I can't find any details on the data sheet. Happy and healthy New Year.

I wanted to ask about loneger time is it still ok. Do you own it yet? : )

Nice video review! Big downside with the Akra full exhaust is that you have to remove the heat shields on the pipe coming out of the vertical cylinder. Those were part of a big recall campaign from Ducati because year-1 models didn't have them and the generated heat would eventually damage the components of the rear shock placed right above it. Maybe the whole set generates less heat, especially once stripped of that horribly bulky catalizer, but I'd suggest to check your rear shock anyway for signs of damage to the rubber components. Maybe Akrapovic didn't bother to make it compatible with said heat shields, since in most countries this would be a track-only exhaust, one you just use once in a while...

Hello im wondering about the metal piece thats is holding the exhaust under the seat. Where can i get that?

[@JuanSandoval-sf7rb]

Nice lift, what did it cost?

[@jamesbutterfield9260]

I really wish someone had one close to me or the dealer had one with that exhaust. It's tough figuring out what to go for. If these bikes had the v4 I'd go right to sc project

[@JordysWheels]

Hi there, on the stock exhaust, is the cat and slip on all one piece?

[@jamestonguet1737]

Nice review ! other than cost , the only other downside is you can't put the bags on it

[@SSecret_Hugz]

you also end up removing the passenger foot pegs

[@JiggetsLives]

True!

[@JiggetsLives]

Good point!

Great post thank-you - I love the look of this system - Is the sound significantly better than stock? I need to get one too .... is your tail tidy made by Ducati as I've ordered one for my SuperSport S with LED's but haven't seen one yet - yours looks great so I'm hoping it's the Ducati one that I've getting fitted next week on it's 600 mile service. Thanks Again !!! Gordon.

Another reason not do it many countries is that it is illegal and at the very least you will need to refit the standard exhaust every year for the bikes annual inspection once it is 3 years or more old. However having accepted that, if you refit the original dies the map key have a standard map to upload and or will it support the standard exhaust as well as the liberated one?

[@JiggetsLives]

Thankfully the Akro is an official Ducati upgrade, fully warranted from the factory. The bad news is that CA just cracked down - and now it's very difficult to get a dealer to install a race exhaust unless you no-op your vehicle. So sad.

[@grahamariss2111]

@@JiggetsLives Thank you, Did you get my question regarding the Engine Map, do you still get the standard map so you can upload it should you revert to standard, i.e. for the annual inspection.

[@excelltimberwindows9081]

Very informative

[@jolokain]

Considering getting this. Do you have DB (decibel) reading with both exhausts? I don't want it to be much louder, just deeper

[@subspclr]

Awesome review!! Do you happen to have a copy of the installation manual PDF you could share?

[@JiggetsLives]

I had the shop do the install and didn't keep the manual post-install. Sorry!

[@thelensguy6050]

I know I'll get all the have in the motorcycle world for this comment so... here it comes: is there an aftermarket CAT for this type of exhaust? this particular motorcycle is somehow a tourer and its meant to do long trips and long mileage life, I think it would be responsible to have a catalytic convertor (its aimed to a more responsible market after all), if not, then stock is the way for us. It seems just wrong to have a Tesla, solar house roof and a Ducati without a CAT but we love the sound too.

[@danieloconnell4225]

This is not a sport-touring motorcycle - no, it is not meant to do long trips. Can it? Sure. Don't be fooled by the fact that Ducati sells some tiny panniers for it - this is not a sports-touring ride, even if it doesn't have Panigale-levels of power.
