Ducati Panigale V2 Akrapovic Exhaust System Look,Sound,Cost & Benefits 

That’s a good price 👍 it sounds so good with this system and you also have the benefit of the nearly 10% extra torque in mid range, you win all around ! Enjoy :)

No problem , it does sound great on the bike and looks really good, a definite improvement on the standard one, , the V2 is such a good bike , I will do some more V2 videos...anything to keep riding them :)

Oddo Wolf yes mate it’s definitely a lot better sound, perfect...yeah would be better if the come like that from standard but I think they are a just a little to noisy to sell them like that 😂 enjoy !

Thanks, glad you enjoy them , tbh some people tell the insurers that they have accessories and exhaust some don’t , I’m guessing they wouldn’t like ‘race’ exhaust and also if you tell them it may be dearer.. if you don’t and there a problem along the line then the insurer may say you should of said about it?? Difficult to say what to do, best bet is to phone a different insurance company and ask for a quote on a bike that may have the extra parts and see what they say

They do sound and ride better… and they always seem to make you do silly things and ride faster too for some reason when you have a louder exhaust 😂😂

Arib Rabbani thanks, will do mate , just started and learning but any requests I will try my best

@@ProjectMoto eagerly waiting for it man❤️

It sounds so good , perfect for the V2 it’s just what the bike needs

Mate wait until you hear it in person and see it , it’s awesome , I’m sure you won’t be disappointed... well apart from seeing your bank balance go down 😂 but then yr start it and forget about it again 😊

ProjectMoto Yup, I'm hoping that once I fire it up and twist that throttle, I'll be zooming down the road screaming "WORTH IT!!!😫" 🤣

Thụy I think you will definitely love it 😊

Thanks, yeah it does sound good in person, it is definitely louder then the standard exhaust and an improvement in the sound of it, don’t know what the actual decibels level is , I have heard louder pipes on other bikes but not heard louder on a V2 yet

Yoshlin Martin haha, yeah guess you don’t really think you have much of an accent until others point it out, thanks

@@ProjectMoto yeah. Youd think my South African accent would be weird if you heard it🤣

Yoshlin Martin I just read that in a South African accent so I kinda heard it 😂

Thanks , as soon as we put some on I will do a video :)

Yeah it’s awesome , definitely worth it for the V2 :)

Gaz Van Dyk yes mate it’s definitely better, and yeah if yr thinking of buying any accessories at some point when you are buying your Ducati new ,if you can afford it it’s always better to buy them at the same time to get some savings somewhere

It looks and sounds better mate 👍

ProjectMoto Can’t wait to see your new videos.

Richard Collins yeah mate was nice to meet you and chat about the bikes :)

I will find out for you about the map keep for the bike when I go to the shop and also if it has to be done by a Ducati dealer or you can do it yourself, I know now some exhaust map keys can only be done on the computer at the shop

Oh ok , don’t know what one it has on it , most people have the Ducati Performance Carbon ones put on them

@@ProjectMoto you’re the man……I looked all over. That’s the one thanks

Thanks earl, hows the Streetfighter?

​@@ProjectMoto Mate, it crack and burble when riding seriously a bad manners Streetfighter, totally love it😍

When you get the silencers you only get the small v pipe as ‘extra’ , usually the header pipes come from the engine , join and go into the catalytic converter and then come out the single silencer on the standard bike, when you put the Akrapovic silencers on the standard catalytic converter is removed and as there is two separate silencers with the Akrapovic exhausts you need to fit the small v part to split the pipe again, so there is not much extra piping and by removing the catalytic converter it makes the bikes sound louder then standard

최원준 it removes the original cat and can and you get the small splitter piece of pipe and the two end cans, they don’t change the header pipes, there’s no point in changing them , they probably do titanium headers but the standard ones are good so no one seems to change them, it comes with mapping and an air filter, they probably do titanium headers but with the extra cost of the pipe and fitting not many people change it

Petrolheadish probably not mate , depends what track I guess, some bikes are struggling with standard exhaust’s tbh, just try and keep yr revs down when they test it 😂 you might be able to do the Ducati only trackdays at Donington and Silverstone??

Talentfrei this is the race cans with the small pipe that replaces the cat and and allows for the 2 cans to go either side, I am currently doing a video on in that has the full race system

This idols the cans and small pipe that splits the pipe work to remove the original cat and can, found a lot of people have done just this rather then change the header pipes too due to the extra cost in the extra pipe work and fitting costs etc

Yeah it does get mapped when it gets plugged the computer it also lets the bike know the catalytic converter has been removed

Nathi Mkhize thanks you :)

Everyone likes different looks , it’s the race system so i guess it’s to save weight too as the standard is bulky and heavy compared to this one

The benefits are undoubted! Ducati’s are art and this can doesn’t compliment in my opinion .. love the channel. thanks for posting the vids tho so I can slate your purchase 🤨😂

badusername4 thanks 😂

Awesome Err you get an small piece of pipe that replaces the large cat and can and it splits the pipe in to two for the two end cans to go on to, they probably do a titanium header for the V2 , I will try and find out :)

@@ProjectMoto my opinion is that on most of the modern Ducatis the actual factory headers and piping is amazingly good, that the price to performance gain is not quite there to make it worthwhile. The system on the V2 from factory is decent, removing the old muffler/cat is enough to let the engine breathe, the % improvement is also because the factory headers actually have decent enough flow to allow it. Thoughts?

Yes mate , they hardly ever change the headers on the Ducati , there is no point as the are good, on an un-faired bike maybe I would just to make the pipe look the same if it is titanium but most of the time you can not see them so there is no point , they are good headers so no need to change them and also the extra cost for the pipe and the labour there is no point, for me anyway

@@ProjectMoto Great! So there is really no need for a full system. The only people I see doing a full system is people with money to burn and wanting to squeeze out every drop of power this thing has. But since most of us arent racers then this is all we really need. My wallet thanks you.

Mark F it removes the original cat and can and you get the small splitter piece of pipe and the two end cans, they don’t change the header pipes, there’s no point in changing them , they probably do titanium headers but the standard ones are good so no one seems to change them

ProjectMoto thank you. Does it require any remapping? What about the valve in the original end can? Would I be able to fit this at home or did the price include dealer fitting? I note that the complete system isn’t much more than the end cans, at least on the Ducati website. I love my V2, but a slightly deeper sound would be nice.

I will check for you but I’m pretty sure this came with the mapping key, it does remove the valve so it would need to be plugged in to tell the bike that it dose the need the valve and that it’s disconnected etc , I love the v2 and for me it just needed that exhaust note that these cans give it

ProjectMoto Many thanks.

Ok yes it does come with mapping, and a different air filter, that price did not include the labour, I think if you bought a new bike and add it as an extra they just fit it but if you have it fitted later like yourself who already has the bike it’s usually around 2.5 - 3 hrs labour

www.hysidemotorcycles.co.uk is the shop where I do the videos so if you go there and send them an email they can help you , obviously depending on where you are as not all but some exhausts have to be mapped by the dealer you buy it from

Narendra , this is the exhaust cans and the small pipe that removes the catalytic converter on this video, if you checkout my other video too on the full Akrapovic system you can see the difference mate

@@ProjectMoto sure thank you 👍

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FQBKFmvtdew.html This one mate is the full system, both sound the same tbh ... just the full system is more money and more work to fit it :)

It won’t be the same one, but I will find out the information on one for your 1199, I won’t be at the bike shop until Friday now though

Many thanks

Ok on the Ducati system they only do Termignoni for the 1199, but they are obsolete on there though but if you went to Termignoni direct the silencers are £ 2760 on their website, if you go to Akrapovic website they only do the full system which is £3891 , I don’t know how they do the mapping though if you bought it from them direct if they just send you the map key etc

Only if you get caught 😂 tbh most bikes that have after market cans are not road legal, it’s why people put them on, not because they are not road legal but because they sound better and a bit more performance, and to me if your buying a bike like this for the road what you do on it is not always legal (speeding,wheelies etc) , but it’s not a problem for me as it’s not my bike 😂

ANDY THORPE maybe , was he just sitting at about 4 thousand revs swearing a lot with a clown nose on?? Beeep beeep 😂

Just the weight saving in the wallet is enough 😂😂 , Not massive difference but it does notice when you ride it, and it definitely gives the bike the sound it deserves

Thanks mate for letting me know , I’m guessing his other videos are not his either

KURURU hey what you saying you didn’t watch all the video?? 😂 it’s £2158 mate.... I put the cost and power advantages in the video :)

Thanks ,will do next time as that’s exactly what I’m doing , learning ,everyone has to start somewhere 😆 , Since starting this a few months ago I had never owned a camera,edited a video, been in a video, well not one for RU-vid anyway, no doubt it’s probably to do with the mic I got too as again have no idea about them, but I’m having fun making them and glad that some people are enjoying or watching them , but thanks as I always want advice and help on how to do the videos and make them better 😊

@@ProjectMoto good luck for future videos 👍🏼

@@commonman5827 thanks a lot , I have one of 2 already done similar but from then on... hopefully it will sound better
