[@foxfrog2785]

Agreed

[@VirajXO]

Waited for a proper exhaust video on the 2024 Duke 390, being an owner myself it's hard to find one on KZbin, thanks for this.

[@mrbear3888]

What do you think ? 🤔. I’m quite disappointed but at least it’s street legal

[@VirajXO]

@@mrbear3888 Yeah, even with the Akrapovič exhaust, this sounds more or less the same. You should try the "KTM Remus Slip-On Silencer Black 125/390 Duke 2024", it has a separate chamber to replace the underbelly and then for a slip on, that way you can use any slip on of your choice and still the bike won't get awfully loud. Unfortunately, that is not available in my country, so I'll have to wait for local ones to arrive. Cheers! 😇

[@michaelrieser9928]

@@mrbear3888yeah, it sounds better then the exhaust the bike came with, but not enough of an improvement for the price tag. Although, it’s lighter, it looks way better and sound better at least a bit. Isn’t there a silencer that can be removed like on the side exhaust slip ons? All so on the 2023 and older you can hole saw cut the baffle out of the oem exhaust and it sounds awesome. I wonder if there is a way to modify the 2024 stock exhaust?

Ok.

[@mercuryforlife969]

@@VirajXO DONT buy remus. it sounds absolute garbage. even wrose than akra

[@terencebarretto6338]

Sounds almost the same , just a tad bit of a tone change. The akra exhaust for the older dukes had a night and day difference in sound.

[@mrbear3888]

I know what you mean, I am a bit disappointed ☹️ but when I ordered it, there was nothing online so took a risk…

[@terencebarretto6338]

[@michaelrieser9928]

@@mrbear3888I see a ixil side mount slip on . Don’t know what the ixil sounds like. I prefer the under belly if they can make it sound better. I can’t hear the new exhaust as good as you can live, but if it’s that lackluster I would try and get my money back if possible. I think here in the U.S. this exhaust cost $930.00 with tax. Thank you for your video. FYI Bagoros has some awesome 390 duke parts! Tail tidy, sliders etc.

[@vemanthreddy4210]

Ok.

[@vemanthreddy4210]

[@RS-nl2lp]

I think this is a nice upgrade. It looks nicer, is lighter, is stainless steel. An exhaust system upgrade does not need to make your ears bleed to be worth it.

[@AndyRox]

Waste of money for new exhaust, sounds similar

[@Shiroikage84]

if anything, the stock one sounds better.

​@@Shiroikage84 but stock has no akra sticker😅 that sticker give +1000hp

[@Shiroikage84]

@@jimmydishkawnt that's true 😂

[@impreza99rs]

Damn, some of these comments are brutal. I’ve done an exhaust upgrade video on the previous gen 390 duke. The secret to better volume is the chamber delete. Competition Werks sells a mid-pipe that deletes that horrible chamber. From there back you have the flexibility to pick whatever muffler that sounds best for your ears. Granted the CW mid-pipe was for last year’s model, but from what I can see in your video shots, I think it could fit. Keep your eyes out for the latest products. The camber delete doesn’t remove any catalytic converters so your ECU will stay happy.. While you’re still breaking in the engine, don’t be tempted to hear your exhaust scream… yet! Good video.😎👍

[@koelti13]

Whats the purpose of the chamber? Will it be louder or just sound different?

[@impreza99rs]

@@koelti13 the chamber makes the engine noise much lower. KTM engineers are forced to deal with the latest Euro restrictions.

[@Mcfc2Rich]

I have the duke 125 2024, this low down carbon Akro looks sick. I love the underbelly exhausts... just need to get the right tone like you said ☝🏼

having a ktm 390 would be a dream

[@hardtalkbbc]

I own one And now I want ducati . It never stops just don’t waste your time on these things

[@hellslayer9638]

The reason behind the negligible sound is i think new emissions norms and its a good thing sound is not too loud because it can attract fines by local traffic police . I think akrapovic has definitely worked on improving torque and bhp numbers with this exhaust.

[@Ryannegative35]

Very significant small improvements since this is a sound compliant oem muffler.. the biggest change will be the weight which will make it fell quick.. best is the keep its stock and use the ind map, with the ambient temp sensor turned off ! Its pretty quick if you run 100octane !

[@clutch-zilla9957]

Bro are you sure it has a removable DB killer? Like it seems like it still has the db in soo maybe try removing (if possible) to see if the sound is any different👀

[@1911doc]

Wanted to buy this exhaust for my Svartpilen 401 but after watching this video I see makes no sense. Thanks for saving me money :D

[@mrbear3888]

Glad I could help

[@krishanthcr]

perfect comparison video

[@th33ph]

You can cut that 2nd cat off. It's the part sticking off the end of the pipe that you inserted into the new exhaust. Right after the clamping area.

[@Voondiaz]

This could be a perfect asmr installation video if there are no song and just pure installation sound. 👍

[@MrJhobert]

Im a new owner too, its hard to find parts/aftermarket specially exhaust that would look like the stock one. I was about to pull a trigger on this akra too then i saw your vid... great vid keep it ip

[@mrbear3888]

I am disappointed it doesn’t sound better but, at least, It looks better 😊. What do you think?

[@MrJhobert]

Yeah it does look better, but it's a lot of $$$$ to shed for the carbon tip look. Hopefully we get a better sounding aftermarket exhaust soon. And sometimes audio from the video doesn't justify the sound.

@jonomasonILoveU I was choosing between the underbelly remus or the ixl exhaust. I' love how remus does it that you don't need the adapter to bolt on the passenger peg in which how ixl does it. Hard to decide because til now nobody posted video on KZbin on how remus exhaust sounds like. All I see is for the ixl exhaust

[@ranajoykundu4129]

That metallic sound is very normal on the 390. It kind of sounds like the 2013 model after the exhaust

After market!! It’s looking like OEM part how cool is it,,

[@nachoilf8226]

OK now I need to know how to remove the DB killer😂

[@apolaan]

I also got one of these installed in my 2024 duke 390 and it does sound pretty much that same as stock. It might be a bit louder at the top end, but I would say it's really not worth the money. Also after a couple hundred miles with the new slip on, two of the three welded brackets that hold the carbon tip in place broke sadly.

[@mrbear3888]

Same feeling here. Waste of money 💰

[@davidscholes5816]

[@saswatawap5]

You can try the ixil header for this duke, that might make some good sound and save more weight.

[@ttinnovations3310]

I'm cheap, I'd just cut the OEM stock box open and drill bigger holes in the baffles and weld it back up =P, that new one doesn't sound $$$$ better than the stock one

[@janismazurskis8561]

Nice video!And big shame for Akro that it doesnt provides gasket in kit for that money👎

You should change the header too, and upload another video later.

6:28 it's the noise from the clutch not engine and its completely normal , I too have the same 390 duke 🧡🧡

[@mrbear3888]

Thanks 👍👍👍

[@Lostandfoundhere]

I have an Akra full system carbon racing line on my R3. I Spent around 2 Lacs on full system and piggy back ECU ( Race tuning )along with free flow air filter. one can only gain around 8% -10% when compared to the stock setting. so you spend around 40% of the machine cost and gain just 8%. Not worth unless you do track days every weekend.

[@Heavyweightbs]

A question can you remove the DB killer or is it permanently installed? Lg -Heavy-

I had bought Remus sports exhaust from ktm showroom for my Duke 390 gen3 which sounded same as stock as well it cost so much and it sounded shit was really disappointed, then again I bought an Indian exhaust called "Barrel exhaust" now it’s better taking out DB Killer sounds much much better than any high end exhaust for Duke 390 gen 3.
