If you want a louder exhaust for your KTM 390, 125, 250 or 1290 Duke then the cheapest way to do it is to remove the baffle. It only takes a few minutes and it makes a huge difference to the sound of your bike.
I use a 40mm hole saw. If you use a smaller one you risk hitting weld and it will take much longer to cut through. Also make sure that the hole saw is long enough so that the centre part doesn't hit the middle of the baffle.
To make this work - use the largest hole saw you can fit into the hole. Use one designed to cut steel (not wood) and make sure it's long enough (remember some have a centre piece which can hit the baffle before you cut through it).
This is stage one of the KTM Duke stock exhaust upgrade videos and is the starting point for transforming your bike
Apologies that the video is only in mono on the left.

38mm worked as that was all I could find at the local hardware store. Also when cutting, after a few minutes the cutting will change from smooth to getting caught up on jagged edges. this indicates you have cut thru the material. Carefully proceeding to cut until only a little material is hanging on, use pliers and work it until loose and no worries about fishing it out or large amounts of metal shavings getting in the exhaust.

Glad you got there in the end. Stock exhaust is quite high quality - not sure about the 1290 but I'm assuming that it's also stainless which is really tough to cut and you need a decent quality metal hole saw which is also long enough. But what counts is making it work, so fantastic! Skäl David

Hello, old post but I have a question for you, I have a duke 390, 0km 2021 bs6, still in brake in. The vibration on the entire bike is insane, all the frame,, handle, foots, everything vibrates so much. Do you think un your opinion it may be an exhaust resonance or something? Or maybe something more serious. I like to do these things by myself.

Hard to say without seeing the bike - compared to my Sportster the Duke is silky smooth. All singles will have some vibration and more race oriented ones like this have more. But I don't notice anything particular - but then I'm used to the Sportster. It doesn't seem likely the exhaust would vibrate the whole bike.

If you want to actually tune the bike then you need to consider a full piggyback unit.

Hello David, does removing the baffle from a stock Duke 250 increase the back pressure and will it make the bike run lean causing future problems to the engine/the bike. Is it must that I need a piggy back if I only remove the baffle from the stock exhaust or can I run on the ktm provided ecu...
@MotoMirius
@MotoMirius 3 жыл бұрын
OK. Most exhausts have back pressure - this isn't considered a good thing from a performance point a view but the result of a poor exhaust design. KTM have actually done a decent job on a stock system but they have to meet emissions requirements. Back pressure is largely going to be from the cat not from the baffle in the secondary silencer (since this is on the other side of the cat). In a stock system, removal of the baffle will probably have little impact on back pressure. The same applies to lean running - you can replace the stock end can with a powerparts exhaust from KTM which is more free flowing and KTM say will not cause lean running. I would not expect lean running to be caused by removing the baffle on an otherwise stock system and most people run just with the stock ECU. If you wish peace of mind or you wish to help smooth out the rough running at low revs on the stock bike then an entry level piggyback may be your solution. Skäl David

Removing the DB killer will alter the carburetion but for most applications within the existing KTM fuel map. It is impossible to guess exactly what the effect will be for your bike. There are many variables which affect carburation and performance including fuel and altitude which would change the actual impact on your bike compared to mine, however if you are running a stock exhaust then I think you are overthinking this.

Will drilling a 1/4 inch hole in center of exhaust give the bike a little better sound and would I have to rejet carb?
@MotoMirius
@MotoMirius 3 жыл бұрын
It will give a better sound - but it depends what you think better sounds like. It doesn't have a carb, it's fuel injected and the ECU is locked out so you would need a piggyback to alter anything. For just that you are unlikely to need any changes, but if you are concerned then a basic piggyback will do the job.

@MotoMirius
@MotoMirius 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks. MOT doesn't (yet) fail on louder exhausts - but I have heard of some testers who do. The solution is to take it to a different testing station who will give you an advisory instead. There are normally testing stations who are more in tune with cosmetic alterations for bikes. Of course running L Plates never helps (if you do). As for legality, if you get pulled by DVSA then it's an issue (but this is very rare and typically only happens at regular big bike meets in public places), the police less so - but again it gets attention and that can cause it's own issues because 125 riders are assumed to be less experienced and more likely to have poorly maintained bikes - so loud exhaust is a good excuse to be pulled over. This is especially true for the really badly debaffled 125s which are very loud - but in a very bad way, just like a car where the exhaust has fallen off loud instead of supercar loud - same volume of sound but one you don't want to hear and the other you want to hear - it's all in the tone and tuning of the sound (so you need to keep some silencing). Bad loud = pulled over by police, good loud and a bike that looks well maintained = not pulled over by police

@MotoMirius

I think many people have made the mistake of not realising that there are different types of saw - this is stainless so it's harder than steel so it really needs a good saw for metal. Use a slow cutting speed not a fast one - oil helps to avoid the blades getting blunt so they keep cutting. What can happen is that the nose of the drill hits against the baffle - if this happens then you won't be able to cut any more - and it can take a long time anyway. Check that the drill isn't hitting and if so, see if you can move the saw a little bit further out - changing size of saw will only help if this is the problem if it is longer. Good luck, it should work for you.

Removing the cat and presilencer makes the bike a lot louder. Most of the back pressure is created by the cat - back pressure from the baffle has to go back through the cat to get back to the engine. Tuning is a complex subject and will be affected by where you ride - altitude, temperature, humidity etc. Some people report loss of torque from removing the baffle others don't - but since no one has put the bike on the dyno before and after the change, these reports (and mine) are speculative. Baffle and cat are the only parts of the system that reduce sound by constriction. Most people make these changes to improve the sound of the bike, not to make it faster. Skäl David

​@@MotoMirius Thanks for that... in my experience I've found bikes generally lose some torque when gutted for a better note. Whether its a crf250x or an MT07, you just notice it doesn't loft a front wheel as easy. So I guess in terms of better I just mean nice solid stock like performance but with a little more depth to the note. I can tell just from the KZfaq videos that it certainly seems less constricted when revved without the cat(mini cat delete).. but not sure how far will be too far with the bike. Worried that the modified muffler will put me in ag bike land with a boggy feel and was hoping to avoid complete new slipon. (I feel like the pre muffler def. needs to stay)Appreciate your comments.

@@Superdisco199 This was an area I was attempting to address in one of my recent videos but going back into lockdown means I can't get back on to it. My experience is that the baffle removal on a stock system is no louder than the legislation compliant Akrapovic slip on that KTM supplies - my feel is that sound is similar once you debaffle and stubby the stock silencer. As I run a piggyback ECU, I would need to buy a bypass unit for that before I could realistically say what it does to torque. I've been told by someone who has used a dyno that best power comes from cat removal, leaving the presilencer in place and using the Akrapovic slip on.

@@MotoMirius Thanks for that. I just watched your ECU vid. Nice work. I just got the bike and took the whole secondary/final muffler off and it actually seemed to boost the power (wheelied in 2nd). But it had a pretty nasty backfire. Your first stage baffle removal didn't backfire did it ? sounds a bit like I might need to get the RapidBike Easy at the very least.. Bike seems pretty jerky (2020) down low and then flat spots and then comes good. Really suspecting that mini cat removal and single debaffle would be the best trade off, but it's really thejerkyness bothering me most of all. My 250F is carbed and reklused! :-D

No backfire but I always run a piggyback. Backfire is typically a sign of running lean but it can be normal if it’s just on the overrun when there is excess fuel dumping into a hot exhaust with no baffles to absorb it.

I don’t measure mileage. But as I will always say - it’s likely to make it worse because you will rev the engine more to hear it and revving the engine is always bad for mileage.

You said that you may not want to de-baffle if you de-cat. Why is that? I did a full de-cat, straight pipe from header to stock silence, and the exhaust has a bad "ringing" sound at about 5,500 RPM so I'm considering the de-baffle. Thanks Edit - figured I would add that i added a Powertronic so she's getting more fuel.

Removing cat, presilencer and baffle is too loud for most places - it’s either illegal or it’s just a police magnet who will pull you over to check what they can find wrong with the bike or your license. Otherwise there is no technical reason you can’t do it but you should seriously consider a proper piggyback as you will almost certainly be outside of the stock fuel map parameters. Detonation can create a lot of damage in the engine and whilst you can ride for a long time without any issues just a few minutes outside of the map will grenade the engine.

So if I do this and then add a powertronic fuel auto tune device on my stock 22’ 390, I will have a less go cart sound and run less lean while preparing to go full exhaust down the road? I want to go catless but don’t want to void my warranty. So this sounds like the right direction. Except I imagine cutting out the baffle will also void my factory warranty.

This is a video on how to do it - the other questions are subjective and largely dependant on what you are doing and many of them will depend on where you live and how you ride. Each of them needs it's own set of videos to make any sense - I have started a series of short videos to discuss the basics behind your questions because the answers are not as clear as I suspect you think they are - it is not a case of do this, do that and then this happens - no matter what some videos might want you to believe. A quick example - this will increase your fuel consumption - not because it makes the engine less efficient but because you will rev the bike more once you can hear it and this burns fuel.
