Nice. I still have to get my upmap installed. I may wait until the 600 mile service.

Even with the good mic, it doesn’t compare to how it sounds in person. Something about the sound of Ducati’s that never sounds impressive on video.

charlie ryan Thanks for watching and subbing. I’m trying to do videos for as much as I can on this bike because there really isn’t a lot of these types of videos available for this bike.

Yeah, the full system never made sense to me being that the pipe diameter is the same as stock. It does save a few pounds weight but I think it’s negligible in terms of performance gained from weight savings.

@@bikesandbeats4693 precisely. And I'm not building a track bike so weight reduction is not the purpose here. I have added a few carbon fiber parts for the aesthetics. I'm hoping to sell the 959 in a few months so I can buy a V4S.

@@bikesandbeats4693exactly, doesn't make sense. You got rid of all the crap you don't need. Stock muffler, catalytic converter and servo. You're probably right, it'd just be weight savings..

Yeah. Things are a little easier with a second set of hands. Overall it’s not a bad job if you have patience.

If I had to do it again I could do it in about 2 hours, maybe less now that I know the tricks. Thanks for watching.

Hey there, was your Ypipe already connected to the cans? If so, how did you mitigate the flanges not mating up in order to finally get the clamp on?

It’s pretty loud. Not technically street legal. With the db killers installed it’s only a little quieter but still sounds basically the same.

6mm hex

It’s the same process for the 1299 as the 959. It is a bitch to get the mufflers lined up to the y-pipe. Keep at it.

Are you in Europe? If so, I believe the process is the exact same but you would also need to purchase the US spec lower fairings, which would add a lot to the cost. Or you could probably just cut yours to fit the mufflers.

Got it on eBay from a Ducati dealership as an open box model. They had it as the display case model in their parts department. I paid about $2,050 after tax.

6mm hex

That’s what I tried. The y pipe doesn’t fit onto the mufflers. The only way to make the 899 termis work on the 959 is to use the 1199 header.

hec feliciano The Termi adapter doesn’t mount to the 959 header. I was gonna modify the adapter to make it fit, but termi doesn’t sell the adapter separately in case I damaged it. So I didn’t mess with it.

Oh ok gotcha.. Sounds good either way.. but i like Termi just bc everyone u see with a Duc got the Akra Exhaust.. just like to be different.. plus i like the Termi sound better.. but its all personal preference

hec feliciano Yeah, I think a lot of people not feeling the Termi for this bike because of the front exit design. That’s why I personally didn’t like it and why I tried to get the old rear exit model to work. The old one will work if you do the full 1199 system, which comes with the header pipe needed to fit the mufflers. But I didn’t want to pay full system price or do all the work. I wasn’t paying $5k for an exhaust.

I think it’s definitely overpriced for what it is. It’s very high quality and Ducati approved to not void your warranty. But i think it should be cheaper. As for the arrow, I don’t like how it looks. I think the Akra gives a better finished look.

It’s a Y Pipe.

Yes. Much louder without the baffles. Overall tone is similar but more aggressive than stock.

Don’t like the look of it.

Bikes and Beats completely understandable. Hope you’re still enjoying the 959

@@kylec7277 Loving every mile of it!

Not at all, at least not yet. This is only my second riding season. So coming from a Monster 821 to this, it’s plenty of power for me.

It’s not really a liter bike so idk why anyone would expect 190 plus. The 1199 is 170 to the wheels.

96481081A

HELL YEAH! The Akrapovic exhaust alone is over $2700 for the slip on and nearly $5000 for the full. Plus you will save money by not having to do the break in service. As long as the bike is clean I’d go for it.

@@bikesandbeats4693 ive been doing some looking and 1299 are going for like 2k more idk which one i should get

I can only find this exhaust for around 3500. Where is it 2700?

Got mine on eBay brand new for $1900 because it was a dealership display model. I’ve seen on other auctions for $2700.

This one is for $1299 so the upmap won’t work but the mufflers still fit. It’s $2800 and you can make an offer for lower. www.ebay.com/itm/254456167981

Mainly just cost and cool looks from the blue pipes. Don’t think theirs any performance increase at all since the 959 stock headers flow extremely well.

Was it a big sound difference. It sound the same

In person it’s a big difference. It’s the same character of sound but this is much louder and meaner than stock. The camera doesn’t pick it up that well.

I’m 5’7”. I can reach both toes to the ground. But most times I only put one leg down and leave the other on the rear brake.

Bikes and Beats thank you sir!! Thank you for the heads up!! Really do appreciate it

Get yourself a good pair of riding boots and it will be reach the ground better. Sneakers are too flat. I wear Alpinestars boots.

In the stock mufflers.

With the baffles in it’s close to stock. With the baffles out it’s considered race and too loud for street. So it’s pretty loud but not annoying.

@@bikesandbeats4693 Ahh, with baffles out would you say its louder than the underbelly termi exhaust?(no baffle)

@@LB-ym1qw It’s about the same as a Termi

Nah. It’s still there.

@@bikesandbeats4693 I was watching your other vids. Does that brentune leave the servo open? Do you run a different filter? Power feeling night and day?Sorry for all the questions. We have the same bike and I wanna start ordering parts.

The servo still operates like stock with the tune. But they can clear the error if you remove it. I still have the same stock filter. I’ll get a sprint once I replace the stock one. The difference in power and response is amazing. I won’t say it’s a totally new bike but it’s a bit easier to ride to ride.

@@bikesandbeats4693 yea it looks like it pulls crazy! Do you know how much power you picked up?

@@nikkotulloch9497 I haven't dyno'd but generally this bike gets 8-10HP out of a tune.

I have the video up on my channel. Check it out.

The oil on your fingers will stain it with your finger prints and it won’t come off.

I bought that link y pipe, part number D155Y2. It doesn’t fit. It’s a completely different size. The only way to fit the termis is to change the whole exhaust. I have a video coming that explains everything.

#MLB_MotoVlogs Here’s a photo comparison of the adapter I bought vs the 899 Termi adapter. drive.google.com/file/d/1DxYgCFsjlKIztsijOQUotJvgad6mDh4A/view?usp=drivesdk
